Fake Names in Customer Service
Why do the customer service reps use made-up German names? I don't care whether someone with a Polish or Indian name solves my problems, do I?

every call center uses "fake names", even here
within Germany

Mentor1 month agoMaybe the proper names aren’t understandable. However, the alias names should still be assignable to the employee in case there are complaints.

Mentor1 month agoeBay will surely be able to assign that; the fact that users don't get the real name is probably due to data protection reasons.
I don't want to be approached on the street by people I personally don't know about the poor phone support.

Mentor1 month agoAs far as I know, there’s no video call on eBay either, so you couldn’t even recognize the employees on the street 🙄

we still haven't met in person either, but I already know what your house looks like. 🏚️🏠🏡
The internet contains so many snooping portals.

Mentor1 month agoHey @oskar_der_wikinger
but I don’t think you can find eBay phone-a-friend lifelines like that.
Wouldn’t be so great for them, I’m sure 😉
