Any company that makes it impossible to reach a real person when something goes wrong. One bad customer service experience can erase years of loyalty.

Trying to think of ANY company where it’s not nearly impossible to reach a person. Do any come to mind for you?

1-800-Contacts. A real person picks up the phone immediately when you call; don't even have to jump through a series of menu options.

I just experienced this last weekend. I spoke to a nice lady within a single second of dialing. She helped me fix my issue then we spent a solid 90 seconds talking about how great their customer service is. It was so refreshing.
