Published October 3, 2025  3 min read Business

This blog post discusses the pervasive issues in customer service across various industries, highlighting personal experiences with companies like Barnes & Noble and Daily Motion. It emphasizes the need for accountability, better training, and a shift in how customer service is measured and valued.

 

The author argues for a collective demand for improved service and a rejection of the dismissive attitudes prevalent in many customer support interactions.

 

In today’s fast-paced world, customer service has become a critical aspect of business success. However, many companies seem to have lost sight of what effective customer service entails. This blog post explores the troubling state of customer service through personal anecdotes and broader observations, particularly focusing on experiences with companies like Barnes & Noble and Daily Motion.

 

The Frustration with Customer Support

 

Personal Experiences

 

As a former IT professional, the Speaker has encountered numerous instances where customer service has fallen short. Recently, facing significant challenges with Barnes & Noble and Daily Motion. After several days of trying to resolve an issue, found himself frustrated by the lack of accountability and the dismissive attitudes of customer support representatives.

 

In his experience, the support teams often resorted to passing the buck rather than addressing the problem directly. For instance, when reaching out for help with an eBook issue at Barnes & Noble, it took multiple escalations before someone finally took action to resolve the problem. This kind of service is unacceptable, especially when companies expect their customers to remain loyal despite such poor treatment.

 

The Cycle of Dismissiveness

 

The pattern of dismissiveness is not limited to just one company. Attempts to upload videos to Daily Motion were met with generic error messages and a lack of meaningful troubleshooting. Despite following all the suggested steps and providing detailed information, the responses received were frustratingly unhelpful. This experience leads to question whether should continue (word used: “BOTHERING”) using the platform at all, given the lack of views [there to begin with, while Bitchute, Brighteon, Rumble, and YouTube, garner interactions] and engagement.

 

The Broader Implications of Poor Customer Service

 

A Systemic Issue

 

The issues faced are indicative of a larger problem within customer service across various industries. Many companies prioritize closing support tickets [their SOLE MATRIX in determining Customer Service Agents "effectiveness;" speed of dismissal] over genuinely resolving customer issues [no internal investigation of their overall Customer Service actual "effectiveness" and if the SAME PROBLEM keeps coming back bothering attempt to RESOLVE and avoid future Customer Service complaints of "that issue" entirely]. This approach leads to a culture where representatives are incentivized to dismiss problems rather than solve them, ultimately harming the customer experience.

 

The Role of Automation

 

Automation has also played a significant role in the decline of customer service quality. While technology can streamline processes, it often fails to account for the nuances of human interaction. For example, automated systems in retail environments track how quickly cashiers can process customers, but they do not measure the quality of service provided [someone mean and nasty while quickly SHOVELING customers out the door; can often result in THEY DO NOT RETURN]. This focus on speed over service can lead to a lack of personal connection and care, driving customers away.

 

The Need for Change

 

Demand for Better Service

 

As consumers, we must demand better service from the companies we interact with. It is essential to hold businesses accountable for their customer service practices. If we continue to accept poor treatment, we become part of the problem. Instead, we should advocate for change and expect more from the companies we support.

 

The Importance of Training and Accountability

 

To improve customer service, companies need to invest in training their staff effectively. This includes teaching representatives how to troubleshoot issues thoroughly and encouraging them to take ownership of customer problems. Additionally, businesses should implement metrics that focus on customer satisfaction rather than just ticket closure rates.

 

Conclusion

 

The state of customer service today is disheartening, but it is not beyond repair. By sharing our experiences and demanding better treatment, we can push for a shift in how companies approach customer service. It is time for businesses to recognize the value of their customers and prioritize genuine support over mere transactional interactions. Together, we can foster a culture of accountability and care in customer service, ensuring that our voices are heard and respected.
