...not find any American workers capable of handling customer service calls?  This job can't be that hard, and I know some of these huge companies can certainly afford to pay American people do this job.  I am so sick and tired of talking to customer service reps. that can't understand a damn word I say and vice versa. I realize many of these (as well as other) jobs are outsourced but isn't it possible, and least of all courteous, to find countries with workers that speak audible English?

I suppose we could boycott these companies, an act that seems to get results, but I'm afraid we'd have nowhere to shop as it seems this practice is very commonplace.  I realize this is opening up a huge can of political worms, and I'm not trying to do that, but I spent a very frustrating hour on the phone with a cable customer service rep and am  not a happy camper right now (hence even more run-on sentences than usual, lol).

If there is a person or place, politically speaking, that might be able to address this issue; please share that info with me. ASAP!!
