Getting an unusual amount of Japanese posting in my US timeline-- not that I am complaining. I have a significant respect for Japan and it's culture. I can't say I "understand" some of it's complexities, and likely never will, but those are some good folks over there.
Tried it. "I can't do that here. You have to speak with our Retention department."
"What if I don't want to be retained?"
"Only they can cancel and account."
"I'm standing here in your physical office and I want to cancel."
"You have to do it over the phone to make sure it's you."
"I am standing here. In front of you. With my ID."
"they use voice recognition. Or something."
"What's the number?"
"I don't have it."
