A customer of one of the largest internet providers in the nation tried to have their service disconnected… and in the process had a very frustrating “retention call” experience that he then recorded and posted for the whole Internet to hear.  Alan and Ed discuss this infamous call, and point out some of the more interesting phrases used by the retention agent and why they should be avoided.  Along with this discussion, Alan and Ed share their “Customer Service Stories of the Month”… and just as a heads up, all of this month’s stories are about bad experiences!
