Thread: When I asked to speak to an American he lost it!

Never get mad at people who serve you food (or at least let them know you're mad), until after you GET the food.

The scariest outsourcing is in the title companies. Yup when you hand over all of your personal info to close a real estate transaction, your information could be going to either The Philippians or India. You won't read about this in the papers, but I know very well. I was a title officer for one of the largest companies in the US. My job is now in India. Your SS#, birth date and full name could be going to India also. I would get in writing the location of the title plant before giving out that information to any title company. If they are out of the US, shop around until you find one here.

It just occurred to me. The illegals are probably buying their stolen ID's from India

Sippy's video reminded of a call I made...(when he asked why when the comp. was made in Japan, purchased in America he had to speak with someone in India... don't know why... it just did)

Awhile back I called Colgate and asked if they had a factory in the US?
Yes, I believe he said New York. I asked if you have a factory in New York, why do I have to have toothpaste made in MEXICO?? He replied that well they are in the North America's. I told him I got your North America BS. I want to know "WHY" if I live in the US. .. and you have a factory here... why do I have to have toothpaste made in Mexico?? Told me I needed to check the label before purchasing. Told him that was impossible since I purchase online and the label isn't available.
I can assure you ma'am that are standards are the same in all three countries US, Canada and Mexico. I replied you mean like when they use the RESTROOM right next to the lettuce on the factory floor or in the fields? I understand what you are saying ma'am... and you know I really believe he did! I told him it was too bad we had to work for these greedy traitors...and he did agree! But I also told him even if Americans have to work for these traitors...they can still fight on their own time against corrupt business's and politicians! Without their employer ever knowing! You can still FIGHT!

(I do my shopping online so you cannot check the label before hand...only after so I know not to order it next time!)

I also have had many companies that I have to call and get someone in another country. Sometimes they will tell me where and sometimes they wont! It is VERY frustrating because sometimes I can barely understand what they are saying!

Careful ordering your American flags! There made in China!!!

Alway check if there made here in the USA!

That's like when we call Verizon up for assistance, it goes straight to a call center in some other country (probably India). The best is when they try to insult our intelligence & read from a stupid script. We spent about 2 months arguing with them over our internet service, spent hours demanding to speak to supervisors, and so forth. Our internet service still blows so we are going to cancel it and go with another provider because we've had enough.

I get just as frustrated at McDonalds. But I'm afraid if I complain, that someone will spit or pee in my cup. They all act rude and pretend they can't understand me. The McDonalds I go to has NO ONE who speaks English well.

I have boycotted McDonalds....... There new marketing pandering to Mexico culture!

My Dr. said I had to go to a specialist...asked me who I wanted to go to?

I told them I wanted someone that I could understand! They said, "I know what you mean."

This USA Dr. sent me to the hospital for tests, and I was sitting in the waiting room, when 3 Indian Dr's strolled to the elevators....one had on a white lab coat and it was very dirty!!! I've never seen any Dr's with such a dirty lab coat on.

I live in an area where we don't have a lot of foreigners, but we do have a lot of low income whites and blacks.

One woman who looked to be low income, went up to this Dr. to talk to him about her dad.....this Dr. really looked like he didn't want to mess with her.

And we are called: the ugly Americans!

Very good information Cayla. I use to work in real estate. We have to ask questions about EVERYTHING NOW. Anytime sensitive info is given to a source we need to know where they are sending the information and who is recording anything. I say we buy Mac's, get Sonic.net for our DSL, by Brother printers (all support in the USA) any company that is here gets my business.
