From your experience, which businesses have the worst customer service, either on the phone or in person?

Equifax is the worst that I've dealt with, and it's not even close, tbh:lol..pretty sure they outsource everything to India/Pakistan, I can't understand anything from their reps and vice-versa, took me like an hour to cancel a free trial on 2 separate occasions, etc.I've spoken to them over the phone at least 5 times, and it has literally caused the same problem every single time..infuriating process..

HSBC Canada and HSBC USA...Awful.

Opened these two accounts when I recently moved to the States because my company has agreements with them that makes getting a high limit credit card easy...and I opened the Canadian counterpart so I could transfer money between the accounts for free. Their app is atrocious and archaic, impossible to do electronic transfers (interac), have to call their support line in India (USA) or Mexico (Canada) for every little issue because their website tools are so underdeveloped....awful. I'm only staying for the credit.

Absolute worst, can't understand how it's even legal, customer service has to be City Public Service (Utility Co.) here in SA. You can't get through to a person ever, the automated machine was programmed by an idiot. It forces you to schedule an appointment for a callback but doesn't tell you the next available date to choose from, so you're there like a jackass choosing dates while the machine tells you you're an idiot for choosing a day that has been booked. Then if you are so lucky to choose a day that has availability, you better pray that they actually call you. After you're good and fired up, now you have to go down to the office and rub shoulders for 3 or 4 hours with a bunch of ghetto ass trash who fall behind on their fucking 20 a month welfare utility bill and need arrangements to pay a god damn 80 dollar light bill.

Second would have to be Cricket Communications.. The call center they have in India clearly has no management employed there, those faggots say whatever the fuck they want on customer service calls. This sand niggr told my girl she was "limited to 3 whines per call" and hung up on her when she was having trouble with her phone a few years back.. None of their agents sound like they've been speaking English for more than a week or two either.

As far as businesses are concerned, cable companies in general. I haven't dealt with Comcast but by all accounts they are absolutely horrible.

In my experience, government agencies- local police, the DMV- are usually worse than businesses. They don't even have to pretend that your satisfaction matters.

Both Cable and Internet companies here have terrible customer service. But the Local Manitoba company is just flat out atrocious...All of their phone customer service workers are old and have been working with the company for years. Their union protexts them to a point that they really don't give a shit about you..Rude employees..

Don't think I've experienced bad CS IRL.

Yeah right, those workers in Technology City or whatever they call the call center district are college educated employees. They would basically kill their first born to work there. They're making a decent wage (for them) to work there.. In sure he went home and ate a delicious meal and layed on a luxurious king sized bed after hanging up on her.

Comcast by a landslide IMO.

Had to wait 30 minutes one time...and as soon as the customer rep picked up the phone he/she accidentally (or maybe on purpose) cut me off. So I had to call back...wait another 30 minutes. I was fucking pissed off about it.

I don't know what the deal is with their boxes but mine seems to have problems every year. Then when a technician comes to fix or swap the box out they charge me $75.00 on my next bill. Fuck that...I call them up and bitch to a supervisor and they always take that 75 dollars off.

Bank of America is notoriously bad. I used to work in the default mortgage department there, so I know first hand how bad they typically are. They contracted nearly all of their customer service positions to undertrained, underpaid kids in call centers across the U.S..

These idiots would make mistakes that would eliminate any chance to have the customer's foreclosure proceedings postponed, and would lead to all kinds of legal issues. Was constantly working with attorneys, officials from government agencies, etc. regarding the improper handling of people's foreclosure proceedings.

Time Warner Cable. They told me they were sending the cocksucking converter boxes I need to rent from them since they're getting ready to start encrypting all channels, never did, so I had to go wait 45 minutes in line to pick them up instead. They're so much worse than the DMV, what a piece of shit company. I bet the line for getting county checks doesn't move this slowly.

Yeah I remember the one time I had to go wait in the line at time warner. They had two black women, both of which weighing 300+ pounds, behind the counter, and they couldn't have moved any slower if they tried.

Verison used to have an outgoing message that said words to the effect of:
"Rather then using your cell phone, we need you to call back from a landline so that we can help resolve the issues with your cellphone.
Then when you called their suggested number from a landline it said "We only take calls from Verison mobile devices. Goodbye" Click.

Ontario and BC have decent customer service because of the competition factor. Manitoba regulates it's cable and Internet providers to MTS and Shaw..Shaw is decent but their internet is so unreliable. The Local company MTS doesn't give a shit about customer service because they know people have no other options so they really haven't done jack shit with their customer service. I called them once to help me with TV and I was on hold for 45 minutes and when I finally was on line I got a 50+ year old smartass on the phone.

They need to allow competition to penetrate the city already...SMDH

The absolute worst customer service in the history of customer service would be the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. They would take forever to approve a Form 4. You would call and some chicken eating Shaquisha would answer the phone and say "oh yeah I was about to send that off" 6 months after the deadline. They moved their office to a whiter part of the country and guess what? Response time improved by 4 months from 7 months to 3.

It doesn't get local Fox Sports like I said and you have to watch ESPN on its own Roku channel, but overall it's not bad. I'd keep the little converter while it's free but ditch it for the Roku afterward.

I don't think its even debatable. Google by far has the worst customer service. For one simple reason. They literally do not have a customer service department. You can reach someone if you're spending money on adwords but unless you're a "paying" customer you can't get anything out of them. I can't think of any one company that has done as much damage to small and local business as google. The amount of local traffic they control borderlines on a monopoly and the fact that can make your website disappear from organic search results should be criminal.
