Is you be?  Is you know English?  If it's infact a language barrier, I appologize.  Otherwise, you is just whack.  Methinks, you might understand that.

Its kind of annoying, yes. I always add in my answers, okay no, I am not from America.\nPeople, its not just Americans who know English, there are loads of other Asian, African, European citizens who are well versed with English language.

If I remember right, you said something about honesty.  So the last answer would not work too well.  And quite frankly, if it was me you were calling with that crap, I would hang up on you.\n\nHere is a more honest way to do this.  When you call you ask for a sales dept. or someone that would get a call in quite frquently.  In other words, someone who is insignificant in the company, basically.  Don't ask for any specific person either.  When calling in, you simply say..."Hi, can I talk to someone is sales (customer service) please?"  At this point, she may ask you your name.  Simply tell her your name.  If she asks you where you are from, play stupid and say something like, "home", or ask her what she means by her question.  Playing stupid is a great thing sometimes.  If she wants to know why you are calling, play the "customer" act and get frustrated with her/him and ask, "why so many questions.  i simply want to talk to the sales dept. can you please transfer me, that is unless I should take my business elsewhere"?  If she hangs up on you, you now have a reason to call back and ask for the manager.  Who cares what happened with her, just talk to the manager what you called him to talk about.\n\nIf you get passed her without being asked what the call is regarding (and most of the time you will), then you will talking to the coveted CSR, or sales guy.  When they answer you now need to play stupid again.  You say something like this:  "Oh...I am not sure why she transferred me to you.  I was actually calling for your manager, are you the manager?"  If there are multiple managers there, sometimes the answerer will even give you the different names of the managers like this...."do you want Steve or Mike?"  This is great for you because now you are on a first name basis with the manager.  If they ask what your name is, you tell them the same thing that you told the receptionsist...your name.  If they ask where you are from, what are you supposed to say??????\n\nFollowing this formula will get you into 8 out of 10 companies that you call.  I know that it does because I have did it many times.  Happy selling and keep it simple stupid!!!

Nope. I tell them that it's not spelled that way. No big deal. If it's not on a public/legal/medical document, ad, print or on it's way to a printer at the expense of me or client - I don't care. \n\nPeople who get annoyed every time someone in "casual" conversation misspell or use bad grammar are the most boring creatures to be around (you're not debasing anyone just being B-O-R-I-N-G), have no life, or too happy and need real problems.

If customers can't find material in their language they should definitely make a point to discuss it with the bank.  I am sure that is how they came to carry Spanish materials to begin with. They may just have been out of English brochures.\n\nI think companies have every right and reason to provide Spanish materials if they have Spanish clients.  However, if they fail to provide English materials, they will lose my business as well.  I bank there too, and I do not speak Spanish.

Don't mind answering the phone--can't stand to hear it ring off the hook--but I have what I call "phonophobia" about making telephone calls. I hate to pick up the phone to dial out. Comes from years of using telephone in my professional life when it seemed I was always calling someone. Now, I just avoid it. In fact I've about 10 calls I need to make now that I've not been able to do. Often, I ask my wife, who likes to talk on the phone, to make calls for me, and she makes most of my appointments now. Remember, "phonophobia," the dread of making phone calls.

Is there some reason you can't just call the BBB and ask?

I don't mind talking to somebody in India instead of in the U.S., but I don't feel very confident that the problem is going to get solved. That's not the fault of the people on the phone, I just think that there is probably very little communication between the office in India and the company in the U.S. As for people's English, believe me, there are lots of people working as customer service in the U.S. that speak worse English than the people on the phone in India. I think companies hire them just to frustrate callers and make us stop calling for service.

Why should we be annoyed? English is not the only language in the world! Nor is it the most widely spoken.\n\nI notice that you have asked at least one question in a language that befits your name, which is a very pretty French one.\n\nI suspect that you are playing Devil's Advocate ;)

It is very rude. That is one of my biggest pet peeves - People talking to other people while I'm on the phone with them. My Fiance does that all the time and it drives me up the wall!!!
