Garfield by Jim Davis for December 04, 2020

Who DOESN’T put up with this?

What will you get if you press three?

I usually press 0 until it says ‘hold please’, and then I get an actual person.

Sitting listening to the canned music for an hour to an hour-and-half… I wonder what is the percentage of people who call this vital service vs how many live to get a live person?! (Yes, I have done this way too many times in the past few months!)

Press #3, if you’re not getting your pizza delivered on time.

A couple of years ago, I saw the best description of one of those phone menus ever! “I finally got through and then had to punch in all the digits of pi to get any help”.

This is the price we pay for capitalism, no human response, and phone calls that we’ve wasted hours of our time and money on, with absolutely no results.

“Or press 3 to go through our 12-hour-long automated system that we never want to get rid of”

Must be on the phone with DAMARK…………………

“There now follows 2 hours of irritating repetitive music.”

I’m on the phone as I type to the local butcher, still no answer…..

Down here where I live, the first option is what language do I want to hear things in…

These days they have voice recognition, so that you don’t have to press a button. So I just keep repeating customer service until I get a person.

They’re on to you: Press 0 to listen to an endless loop of your call is very important to us, please continue to hold….FOREVER

Email them.

To speak to someone immediately, please press # S A N D…

Jon’s phone hates Jon. I can tell because of the way the phone said that.

I hate how now the comic strip has phones now a days

The stuff of recurring nightmares! “Your estimated wait time is…”

press three to speak to an agent who awnsers the wrong question, after you have listened to dumb music for 18 hours.

I never did like calling technical support people.

ah yes, the real life

Our cable company will call you when it’s your turn in the wait list…it does take a bit of time to get to that point…

Smash the mouse trying to get any help at all on Etsy.

Refreshingly honest, in a weird way.

“Your call is very important to us …” Well if that were so, HIRE MORE SUPPORT STAFF.

And, press three if you want your service request to be lost in translation.

I have called those people!!!

I thought garfield was dieting

Mostly honest, but still deceptive enough to call themselves “Customer Service.”

Call 1-800-Collect (if that’s still around), maybe that would work.

If they don’t pick-up, why do they exist

Ouch. Truth hurts.

Press 3 if you want someone that never speaks English

That is exactly how it usually is!!!

This is SO accurate

press 0 Jon…..sometimes it works

hello you have reached customer support. How may i hinder you today?

What type of phone does Jon have? There’s a circle in the middle at the top, so what phone is that? Or is it just Jim Davis trying to draw a random cell phone?

Garfield has a point.

Jon must have reached the Dogbert technical support hotline!

Press 3 to order something that will never arrive.

How true

Nothing.
