Well, the truth sucks sometimes, doesn't it?

Traditionally there's been 2 customer service lines: regular and VIP.

Now there's 3: regular, VIP, and social media apology tour. And it'd sure be nice if these companies had decent policies to begin with... But that's the problem, isn't it?



Decent policies that apply in all situations and are robust against being exploited by bad actors are very, very hard to come by sometimes.


I do get that. But many of these stories we hear have to do with consistent customers with a stable payment history and a good relationship. Something goes terribly wrong, helpdesk bombs it, and then what? Well, twitter, HN, reddit.

All I know is the current situation, well, stinks.
