With Black Friday/Cyber Monday done, its best to settle back into 'marathon' call routines rather than the 'sprint' we had for the weekend.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
