On my answering machine, about once a week, I have a truncated message
telling me that the warrantee on my car is about to expire and
offering to extend it.
(Obviously, it will do no good to "Press 1.")
Today, I got a call from a live person, seemingly a trainee. She had
no idea what a Studebajer was nor even that they wouldn't extend a
warrantee on a 40+ year old car. I kept asking to speak with an
advisor and repeaating that this was a Studebaker that was older
than she was, but the "Warrantee Advisor" ws always busy.
She was not happy with the identification number that I gave as it
didn't have seventeen characters and wondered why I couldn't tell her
how many miles on it.
I was able to explain the condition of the car, though.
Soon it became clear that she was a trainee and that there was an
instructor there, too. Eventually, after several pauses for
consultation, she just said that they would be unable to add my car
and said goodbye.
I wonder if this is the last of these calls - but doubt it.
