When you've got 10k people waiting in a queue for chat, 2 minutes is a very long time
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

But at least if it would emit a loud audio chime whenever Rep responds and before signing off.

ETA: 10k people is but a tiny percentage of the Indian population.

They didnt even warn before leaving, and trust me much more time was wasted like this.

On this topic, has any amazon rep ever followed up with something they said they would follow up on?
If you don't care why would you comment?

I have absolutely no way of ordering anything from gap/old navy/banana republic online. It doesn’t recognize my password and when I open a new account it doesn’t recognize that one too >:( . When I told my mom the difficulties she said she has the exact same problems and even when a rep gives her a code to put in it also doesn’t work.

Can only order by phone  >:( >:(
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

4x1.5= 6 - 1.5 =4.5
1x1.5= 1.5
4.5>1.5 = ink

Web sites that disable paste to confirm password  :-X
onpaste="return false;"


Chase.com
Costco.com
I assume you mean when you are choosing a password for the first time. Some site don't let you paste even when you are logging in. I challenge them to articulate what they are protecting you from. If this gets annoying enough, I'll write a program to type out the contents of the clipboard.
