I just had a positive customer service phone interaction, and I feel like that's a rare thing these days. The call lasted about10 minutes and I accomplished my goal. The rep was reasonably pleasant and accommodating, and even though he was based in Asia, there was no significant language barrier.

I'll take the win.
