We had a very nice waitress who was attractive, friendly, and declared almost immediately that she wasn’t going to have any children. Huh? I then asked her if she had a boyfriend. She instantly and disdainfully said, “No way.” @DISH – The Company That Cares! Only About #Dish!Wow, I just got off another one of those customer service nightmare phone calls after going through three operators because their menu options DID NOT include “If you wish to cancel your service!” I’m appalled at the way so many contemporary companies such as DISH care ONLY about their bottom line.
