Yea. A lot of them grew wise to this and just hung up on you. Some had no way to get through the tree to a real person. Or, the real person couldn't do anything (e.g., Public Storage).
CVS Pharmacy has started rolling out an "AI assistant" phone tree with no apparent way to get to a human.
Their old school phone tree didn't either. You had to pretend to be irate.
Pretend? Oh, there's no pretending involved.
Maybe if you use a lot of profanities and threaten to cancel your subscription?
