*My gripe for the day........just wanted to make a note that I understand these people are just doing their job, but these particular telemarketers are really starting to annoy me*
It hasn't happened as often anymore, but when I would get telemarketers calling the church office, and I explained they were calling a business, that person would be all apologetic and hang up. However, telemarketers trying to sell subcriptions to one of our local papers have became major pests - they don't call every day/hour/week/, but when they do, upon being told that they've called a business, the telemarketer ALWAYS switches over to trying to give me a personal sales pitch for getting the paper at home.
Which really gets on my nerves - I can sort of understand if they have to follow a certain script, but it's gotten to where (and I know I should've done this awhile back) I've had to put the church office number on the "Do Not Call" list, and I'm planning to contact the customer service department for this particular paper with a complain regarding their telemarketing practices.
