    Tycho is like, actively nice to the support rep, he doesn't correct them or yell at them.

    There really isn't any abusive customer vibe to the comic at all!

    No, but he’s painting the person on the other end of the line as if they’re a monster/alien creature. Not a human being

    I mean it would be a very long comic if they showed how they became a monster via the hive lord CEO.

    It's fair to note that the person on the end of the phone is not themselves responsible for how everything is horrible about ISPs, but the comic is demonstrating the user experience which is that this person on the end of the phone just told me to get in a different line.

    I'll say this about the DMV:

    Customers show up having no fucking idea what they need and with none of the required documentation

    Are people still having issues with the DMV? Last time I went it was smooth. Take a number depending on what service you’re there for. As long as you have all the proper documents that are listed on the site, then there are no issues.

    I guess blame the city for not having more locations?

    I mean, we're all pitted against each other while the robber barons who own the companies we work for laugh and light cigars with hundred dollar bills.

    I don't like that Jerry and Mike, two people who frequently talk about being retail workers in their youth and how awful it was, are happy to demonize workers in the exact same situation.

    Remember that whole thing about punching up? I don't think this is that.

    I could see the angle of the exhaustion of knowing that by calling customer support at Comcast/et all, you are opening your third eye and entering a pack with demons. Even knowing it's just a person trying to do their job on the other end of the line, there is a way to make that joke work, but I agree they didn't succeed here.

    It's literally demonizing people who are generally doing their best to help you within a very constrained list of possible actions their job allows them to take.

    Hmmm. Understandable.

    Yet I've also been on the phone to customer support and they very politely want nothing more than to argue semantics and will avoid talking about the problem.
