The "Memory Battery Low" message arrived on my 530 on Sunday.
Place 1:
"the person you need to speak isn't here, they left- call back tomorrow."
Me: Will you take a message
"Well, sure, I guess so.
2 days - no call back.
Place 2:
"We're busy, leave a message, we'll call you back"
Place 3:
"Hi, can I speak to X"
Why?
"uh, he is an avionics tech and I need a backup battery installed"
Is this for an airplane, we just do airplanes.
Why yes, that would be why I'm calling an avionics shop.
He's not here.
"Could I leave a message and ask him to call me?"
No. I don;t take messages.
Place 4:
Phone rings and rings - no one picks up
I call 3 hours later - same thing.
Place 5:
I'm calling to get my Garmin 530 back up memory battery replaced.
"whats that? huh?"
My Garmin 530 needs the back up memory battery replaced
"huh?"
Is this XXX"
Yes.
Do you know what a Garmin 530 is?
No.
No wonder this industry is failing . . .
