Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.
I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”
The typical customer service is 45 mins ++ of waiting on the line, to be greeted by an agent with a heavy Indian accent that will go through the script before having any chances to have a shot at maybe fixing your issue.

People just want to be taken seriously.
