~googlesucks's review of Google customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Google customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~googlesucks: Wow, someone hijacked my account (nice security, Google!!!) and changed the information to access my gmail account...so, DUH...it doesn't match!!!!!! I called Google and they have a VERY rude message that tells you to go to the web, then says, in a smirky voice...."Okay, I'm hanging up, now! What a bunch of punks. If they can't help me, I guess I'll just go to the FCC. Maybe they'll help.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Google. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Google problem?
~googlesucks: I'd give them a four out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~googlesucks: I'd give them a one out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Google's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~googlesucks: For that I would say four out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Google customers?
~googlesucks: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Google to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~googlesucks taken from his Google customer service problem that occurred on November 22nd, 2017.
