After you've been playing for a while, you get another voice prompt: "You are now at the front of the queue. Press one to speak to an operator now, or two to finish your game first."<br /><br />Or what about giving callers the chance to talk to other people in the queue?<br /><br />If you're inventive enough, people will get through to the operator and say, "Oh no, there's no problem with my service. I just phoned up for the on-hold stuff."<br /><br />(BTW, I've never had a problem getting through to A&A, in case you were wondering!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-87981519050092326382010-06-21T00:23:21.869+01:002010-06-21T00:23:21.869+01:00Why just one hold music when a firm as adaptable a...Why just one hold music when a firm as adaptable as A+A could surely offer the caller their own choice of hold hell: "Press 1 for Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'; press 2 for some funky stuff that makes you feel old; press 3 for an ethereal Cocteau Twins rip-off; press 4 for a repetitive electronic dirge version of 'Greensleeves'; press * to be told regularly how important your call is to us, press # for irritating advertising and to be told that you wouldn't have needed to call if you'd bothered to look at our website...".<br /><br />And while you're at it can you get that girl with the really gushy voice to do the "[breath in]<i>Thank you</i> for calling A+A" intro as if your call was the most exciting thing to happen to her all year?<br /><br />Oh, sorry, thought I was on the AOL website for a moment.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02093279371114854810noreply@blogger.com
