Here are these again, if you need them. Be polite to the person on the other line, but don't let them talk you down, either. Ask for a supervisor. Ask them to write down your complaint and have them assure you it will be sent in as a formal complaint.

customer support bureaucracy is a paper tiger- if a company can't get you to give up through a labyrinthine maze of extensions and departments, it is really not that hard to make them sweat under the weight of their own tedious paperwork.
you have to waste their time more than they waste yours.

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out
Welcome to the weekend! You made it sailor. Which censorious payment processor would you like to call first? Thanks to my moot @dieselbrain.bsky.social for the Stripe number, can confirm it works

Biggest part of this really is "you gotta keep doing it". It can't just be one or two or three days of passionate clogging up the lines. As miserable as that is to handle from the call center side, it's what they're expecting.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger
