“your call is important to us, please stay on the line”
Frustration of hours-long holds to talk to a representative
call important to us
automated systems
convey upon my person
status as a customer
with perks for going
deeper into debt
toward their profit
when i feel like an individual
i merely try to ask a question
beyond their algorithm
after hours on hold
even i get the message
of cog-hood value only
