whoa, im not blaming impoverished people with poor english from taking customer service jobs… they’re doing what they can with what they have…

im saying customer service is already practically a black hole… just instead of an AI that doesn’t understand or help with your problem… and regurgitates pieces of a script inappropriately, we already have that right now but with humans.

this is already the case, except i can eventually reach a human that doesn’t understand english, reading an english script…
at least the AI won’t get frustrated and hang up on me.

i used criminally insane because not all mentally ill people need to be locked up away from society…
obviously, uncontrolled rage means you should be locked up for a bit…

i did not say, “insanity defense”, nor did i imply it.

i find your replying to me as if i did, quite vexing.

on my first impression, these are the actions of someone who is unable to control themself, and as such, should be treated as a mental health case instead of a normal violent offender. there’s more to the story, of course.

i also think mental hospitals and prisons should be drastically reformed…

good point!
clearly the actions of a sane man

isn’t he just criminally insane at this point?

oh ive been there.
i had the manager at a mcdonalds refuse me once, so i ended up showing him the law on my phone… which didn’t convice them… so i emailed corporate, who called me back, and the store… and then the store had the law printed on the window at the entrance…
the next time i tried it there, had to still get a manager who said “i’ll just do it this one time”
and i kept letting him know that i know he has to every time…

there’s more to that:

Any gift certificate sold after January 1, 1997, is redeemable in cash for its cash value, or subject to replacement with a new gift certificate at no cost to the purchaser or holder.4 Effective January 1, 2008, any gift certificate with a cash value of less than $10 is redeemable in cash, which includes currency or check, for its cash value.

most people don’t

in California, all gift cards $10 or less can be redeemed for cash.

you may have to argue with employees and management, but its the law… it’s also a misdemeanor for the cashier to refuse it to you.
