I can't make this stuff up. Here are cut and paste parts of the chat.

Before the cut and paste, I asked him why he spent 45 minutes getting a screenshot when it didn't have any relevance when he got it. The time was spent on things like him giving me an e-mail address to sent it to, that bounces mail saying it does not accept incoming messages.

Me:Anyway, there's another topic.
There's mention of a 25% discount with an Amazon credit card, if you click on % at checkout.

[At this point he interrupted my question to keep arguing the first topic]

Amazon: it does in our terms. if you click terms and conditions you can see the offer is only for the Ring Video Doorbell 3

Me: Does that apply to both the Amazon Prime visa, and the Amazon Prime store card? And if you order with Alexa, does it get the discount without 'checking % at checkout'?

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=20780375011 here is the link

Me: You can't click terms and condition in a screenshot

Amazon: i am aware of that Craig. i went to the amazon help page and veiwed our terms and conditions there.

Me: My point is, the answer shouldn't have needed 45 minutes getting a screenshot that had no effect, but I don't care to spend more time on it, now it's nearly an hour, and asked something else.

Amazon: im terribly sorry it has taken so long Craig and that i was not able to be much help with your issue. i didnt want to give you the wrong info because i wasnt seeing what you saw.

Me: So, you don't want to address the second question?

Amazon: My point is, the answer shouldn't have needed 45 minutes getting a screenshot that had no effect, but I don't care to spend more time on it, now it's nearly an hour, and asked something else. is this regarding your second Question

[He quoted one of my statements, unable to find the question in the above].

Me: Just read where I typed the question, that's not the question
The quesiton is after I said, "Anyway, there's another topic."

Amazon: is this in regards to the Amazon Prime Visa ?

Me: That's part of the question, yes.

[Then he transferred me]

[New person did not read any of the chat, and asked how they can help, wanting me to start over.]

[I said by reading the chat to see my question, but that I'd resend it. Then without warning he transferred me again to a third person.]

[I'm waiting again.]

Amazon: Please allow me 2 minutes to research on this with my resources.

[Ten minutes and counting as I type, 80 minutes into this]

{The whole ten minutes, there was a suspicious message saying 'start typing and someone will help you.' After ten minutes I typed that it had been ten minutes, and a FOURTH person then answered.]

Me: Why was I transferred to a third person - which I asked about and got no answer - and that person said to give them 2 minutes, and it immediately says type to get help, and 10 minutes later I type and get a forth person

Amazon: It could have been a glitch or someone could be shirking their duty on to another person. I understand that this can be frustrating. The department you have reached is final mile shipping, due to some employee not following their procedure. Can I recommend that you call in using our customer care line...

Def., a "Karen". We need a male version too, now, apparently.
Apparently this has already been discussed on the web. Apparently the male version is called Terry. :p

And this whole thing of complaining and being rude to customer service people really made me remember this scene from the movie 'Waiting'. Craig, I'd recommend you to not go out and eat at restaurants. :p

Video clip is NSFW.

Anyone saying 'Karen', is a Karen, and some other bad things.
That's exactly what a Karen would say. :p

Seriously, that's just the most awesome comeback ever. "I'm rubber and you're glue, any thing you say bounces off of me and sticks to you". ;)

However, for the 2k+ people who have read this thread, I think you're going to have a really tough time of convincing them of that "rule".

The OP must have an amazing amount of free time to deal with this BS. The entire phone/chat support system is setup to keep guys like this busy and away from anyone that does any real work.

Can you imagine the OP's outrage when he realizes someone has to have internet access to order on-line...not everyone has internet...and that the companies put tracking devices...with cute names like "cookies" to track him...

Ya, it's time for a break from idiocyD.
Does that mean you are gonna stop calling Amazon customer service and being a Karen about every little thing that you don't agree with (or don't want to provide)? :p

You are so clearly wrong in all of this, but you are just so oblivious to how bad you are acting. I mean, every one of us has overreacted to something in our lives, but most people after they cool off can say "I acted badly in that situation for really no reason". However, apparently there are a few people out there who refuse to take a look in the mirror.

I don't buy from Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods because it's freaking expensive. I can't believe people actually shop and have grocery delivered. I looked at the prices and laughed. Plus grocery shopping gets me out of the house and it's something I enjoy doing.
I am old and have cancer grocery shopping isn’t fun, Covid makes it risky.

Online grocery shopping is the best. Who wants to trawl around a crowded shop with a bunch of people who are either too stupid or self centered to practice any safe distancing just to buy washing powder or loo roll!?

Except, I specifically said the opposite, that I had no issue with their needing as phone number, see how the phone number is the thing in the "good" section, though it shouldn't have to be mobile, and an issue I DID raise was fees. That's pretty terrible reading comprehension.


And why exactly would I waste my precious time actually reading your posts? :p


Vastly more entertaining to just skim them then make out-of-context wisecracks !!! ;)



ANYONE saying 'Karen', IS a Karen


Hey there Karen !!!! :cool:

Your post is a good representative of the quality of the posts here, that have led to several ignores. Lie about what I said, misrepresenting it as the opposite, and then post an attempted insult when you are corrected. Didn't ignore you for the initial lie. As is often the case, you show leniency to be what was actually wasted, along with my time.

Wth are you talking about? :p

"Quality" isn't exactly the hallmark of ATOT and 38k+ posts in if you've yet to figure that out its not likely to ever happen.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings though. ;)

You're "required" to give your phone number, e-mail address, and mailing address to sign up for a discount card or delivery any most other grocery stores, no? It's up to you if you want to give them real information, although it will probably make it more difficult to recover a lost card or order in the future if you did.

I'd imagine that Amazon also probably gives an option to unsubscribe from promotional text messages if you give them your mobile number. If not, you should be bitching about their privacy policy on Twitter or Facebook. Nobody from Amazon is going to see your complaint here.

I think AT should set up our own universal fake phone number to use for grocery store discount cards and what not. That way, we all use the same account and get massive rewards on gas points and such, right?

right??

The real question is how many times did you call in to complain to Amazon about something during the two days this thread stayed inactive?

well have you never heard of talkatone or a burner phone number app that is for like a craigslist ad, you give the number use it a few times then there is a fire icon and it burns the number and you can get a new one.
