And I've been replaced by morons who couldn't look up the sun with a telescope, much less a part with a computer. But I understand how the game is played, and customer service is only measured by what's tracked on CSI scores, rather than how many customers you run off.
Because the customer you ran off doesn't get a survey to fill out.
