I'm sure it may be correct for
some callcentre work. But not all, as was stated.

Which in itself is not a bad thing - however they usually try so hard to be nice that it becomes a distraction and can detract from the purpose of the call. It's the "yes we have no banana" thing.

I don't see why
we should be expected to change the way we perceive the call when we are the customers. It is they who need to change if VM wants us to accept their service. I love how VM once said they were "spending millions of pounds training" their Indian callcentre staff about our customs and ways. Well clearly that lump of cash was not an ideal investment.
