At 11:07 the wait time is 38 minutes. Five minutes later it was 39 minutes. Then it was 38 again, then 39, and now, at 11:28 it is 38 minutes. My call is important to them and will be answered in the order in which it was received.
Normally I don't put up with this. I hang up. But today I have a question that needs to be answered now.
11:30 "The current estimated wait time is 38 minutes. A representative will be with you shortly."
What's up with this wait time thing? How do they calculate it and if I'm in a queue how come the time isn't decreasing?
AH! 11:33 "The current estimated wait time is 37 minutes." Now we're getting somewhere!
