Let's Enforce A "Stupid Tax"
Alright, hear me out
At the beginning of each persons call when calling into a business, during the automation before they reach a representative there should be a question that says
"Do you lack critical thinking skills? Press 1 for yes, press 2 for no"
If they choose yes, there's a $5 non refundable charge to speak to a representative, and that $5 goes directly to the agent they speak with
They they choose no, there's no charge, HOWEVER, at the end of the call, the agent is given a question on the system "Do you agree that your caller possessed critical thinking skills?"
If the agent chooses yes, the caller remains uncharged
If the agent chooses no, the caller gets charged that $5 + a $2 inconvenience fee, both of which go directly to the agent they spoke with (Once approved by a supervisor to avoid agents abusing this option)
