82. So the snivelling shtstain from Schwab FINALLY called.

Wed Oct 31, 2012, 01:34 PM

Oct 2012

First, he tried the "Mr. Schwab's views do not necessarily reflect the views of Charles Schwab..." BS. We said "If he doesn't want his views to reflect on the company, he shouldn't have named the company after himself (first AND last name, mind you!)"

Then, he said "Name me the head of a corporation who doesn't support Republicans." Us: "Costco and Vanguard. And it wasn't his 'support' it was his LYING."

Once he started spewing GOP crap (do HIS views "reflect the views of the company"??) we asked to speak to his supervisor.

First he claimed he didn't have one. Then that he "would not" send our "case" any "higher." Then he said "My supervisor believes the same thing I do." (Schwab suddenly gave him a supervisor?? Amazing!) Then that he wouldn't give us his supervisor's name but he would "have him call" us. When we said that wasn't good enough, he got really huffy.

Then, all of a sudden, he said "My supervisor's name is _____ and his extention is _____. He'll be in a meeting until two o'clock, but you can call him after that.

Think maybe somebody's amazing instant supervisor overheard him being a shitstain to a customer??
