Paragraph 1
Most of today’s customer service is done on the telephone or the Web. Companies use operators, touch-tone automated service, and call-centers to meet the customers’ needs in an attempt to save money. Similarly, a lot of companies encourage customers to go online to have their questions and issues answered via chat, FAQ, virtual agent, or email. However, even though these are cost-effective measures, customers often miss the old-fashioned method of face-to-face service.
