I called the local Apple Store, got what was probably an AI. I just needed the hours, so that was OK, but then it asked if I needed anything else. I asked for winning numbers to the lottery. It thunk and thunk and thought some more and came back with, I’ll have to pass you to a store employee. Now I know how to avoid 1,000 questions and get a live person.
I just keep repeating "operator" ad nauseam not stopping for anything other than the sound of the call transferring and that almost always works.
I just keep blowing raspberries down the line until I'm connected to a human.
There are or course some asshole companies whose bots are designed to never connect you to a human and just hang up after a while.
Sometimes yelling fuck shit piss bitch cunt fuck ass whore etc works. They have them setup to detect swear words to figure out when youre pissed off and need to talk to a human lmao
Better just play operator.ogg use your favorite media player on loop until someone does pick up.
