I'm still trying to figure out what the point is of saying, "Do I have a choice?" and the ensuing insult. You're quick to hold the tech support specialist accountable for his gaffe but can you provide a rationale for insulting him first when he was doing nothing
more than his job?<br>
<br>
It APPEARS that in order to get your download you needed to be transferred to someone else. By asking if you had a choice, did you mean you expected this particular support person to be ready to provide that service? If that was the case then you would have
gotten to the point much more quickly by asking, "I'm hoping that you could help me with the download yourself."<br>
<br>
It's easy to say, "These people should have a thick skin and if they can't handle it they should get a different job." How about we include another "should," that one being everyone should just be civil to each other.<br>

<div>He typed "^you" and hit the transfer key at the same time.
<div><br>
<div>I did eventually get the link, which is well-hidden. </div>
<div>Second support person was efficient, polite, and got the info promptly.</div>

a lot of that every day. I think it takes a steel exterior to be able to do customer service of any kind, and chat service even more so. Maybe Pete doesn’t have that steel exterior or maybe he’s just been doing it too long and he needs a change of job.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

choice?" but that doesn't detract from the cheery ending from "Pete". :- )<u></u><u></u></p>

info: Thank you for contacting Adobe Sales. My name is Pete. How may I help you today?<br>
You: Art<br>

You: Hi, I'm looking for the download/installer for Acrobat X Pro<br>
You: Any idea of the URL?<br>
Pete: Just to know, did you already purchase the software?<br>
You: Yes, that's why I need the download.<br>
Pete: In that case, let me go ahead and transfer this chat to our Technical Support Team to help you with the download, alright.<br>
You: Do I have a choice?<br>
Pete: You need to contact our technical team for the download, alright.<br>
Pete: Let me transfer this chat, alright.<br>
Pete: I am sorry, did I lose you?<br>
You: No,<br>
Pete: Thank yo for responding.<br>
