Just bitching . When you call the number, it says for English press 1. Then when you do you get someone on the line who can hardly speak English? Nuts?
Press 1 for English

Ya, it should have an option for American. The English need to talk slower for me to understand. I'm hard of hearing, well thinking too. Some people from Texas and other parts of the south take a bit of concentration to understand. Now Canadians, I've no trouble talking with, Hey. Though, I haven't heard any of them call a water fountain a bubbler yet. :jack

Call centers are often outsourced to foreign countries due to economic factors. India is a prime example
where, as a former British colony, English became the language of commerce. I daresay that the public
schools there probably excel most in the USA with proper use of the King’s English adhered to. The
problem lies in the very thick accents of the native languages which render understanding impossible.
I just hang up and try again hoping for someone whose accent isn’t so muddled.
Texas is an entirely different story.
