Yup, happened to me last week. At least they still replied the same day.

I also really hate scripted, generic corporate gobly gook emails that do nothing to reply to you, just get you all frustrated with the person sending it because it would have been faster to actually reply rather than cut and paste from the script....

"We look forward to hearing from you"
"We invite you to call back between Xam and zpm"
"We thank you for your enquiry, will endeavour to assist you further if you call us back with more details" (and the email to them had all the details they need)...

Signed off by "Customer Service"... You wonder if they were ever 'normal' people???

Yup great help that.... and so much for a response in 24 hrs... try 7 days.

I replied and gave it to them... Lots of sarcastic abuse (that was very childish on my part) in the hope it would trigger a more personal response / phone call back to give them round 2.

That never came, but I did eventually get what I requested in my first email, and the venting made me feel soooo much better.
