They mostly hate the script way more than you do. Most phone support just wants to get you off the phone, ideally after resolving your issue, but thats not always the priority. Sometimes ya just gotta clear the queue.

Yep. Though there are times you can get away with it. I was told by a supervisor that, no I wasn’t going to get written up for telling a customer to “shut up and listen to me, if you hang up the phone I cannot solve your issue.” They did however tell me that I was to act as though I had been thoroughly chewed out, as something like a dozen people heard me say that.

When I worked at a callcenter the general guidance was “if they don’t want to be helped, let them reach back out whenever they do” which was really helpful for people who just wanted to pick a fight since it gave a clear guidance of “hey, if you dont want to do this right now now here’s how to get back in contact”
