Well, _sometimes_ tech support has access to someone who can do

I mostly end up on the phone with such
drones. Sigh.


Not only that, but some of them are told "If the customer asks for a
supervisor, put on hold hand the phone to your neighbor. If your
neighbor hands you the phone, wait fifteen seconds, then go off hold and
repeat what the script says."
