in some ways you are correct, i have been working at the same one for over 6 years and tbf i dont know it all as no one person can know everything, i still get things wrong and sometimes my calls arnt always the best but i learn from it and take things on board, i have had customer like Tim before and tbh i deal with the issue and if they have anything bad to say about me when they have no need i leave it and forgot get, move on to the next one, if i had done something incorrect then i understand his POV but the agent he is talking about (4th call) didnt do anything wrong apart from maybe have used the wrong wording but he sorted the issue out
