No really...from what I have seen, most people become super-curteous when dealing with the older folks...strange...but true.
They talk for quite some time and back down a bit from selling them the latest line of bullshit...well a lot of people do. I have. Just because they are a corporate target doesn't mean that the
human being on the phone sees it that way.......Reaffirms my belief in humanity. But no...most normal people realize that the person isn't with it, and if they can, they will bullshit about their kids, their family and whatever...and try to get the person off the line.....they are corporate targets. Usually not the actual target of the humans that deal with them. Most people do resist, and people do get angry at their company for continually trying to target them. There is no "alzheimers" or "too old" button.
A lot of people work around that. Some don't. Because they are shits with no conscience.
So plbbbt...!
