GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Southwest Airlines 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.
~anon: The customer service representative I spoke to had an attitude- he was not at all pleasant to speak with, didnt seem to care I had an issue negotiating their process the prior evening when customer service is not available ** min wait, ** min wait and ** min wait- did not get through- and got agitated and had a tone in his voice when I questioned him on one piece of the process* he then told me he would document our conversation for his supervisor, gave me his badge number and told me he provided excellent customer service-it was my fault apparently as I didn't understand him- What? wait?? When did customer service become the customer should just shut up and listen?
