    But the entire department is a loss for them… Can you tell me the last time you called customer support to give them more money?

    It’s two sides of the same coin… It’s as simple as you say, but not as innocent

      I can tell you the last time I called customer support and it caused me to return the product and never buy from that company again

      That’s harder for companies to put into an excel sheet, though
