As a business it only makes sense. If you can cut down on simple phone calls that can be answered with a quick message and hire less people, it's better to have a menu system. But, if it is something more pressing, having a person on the other end may ease your mind quickly. It used to be pretty easy to foil the system and just press zero but they seem to have caught on to that. That's why it may be handy for you to keep your Find-A-Human cheat sheet available for some of those calls. Here you can speed up the process (until they learn people know about the shortcut) and get difficult answers quicker instead of meandering through a maze of words in hopes of finding what you need.

Wow, this is a cool thing to have, and I was just hoping to be entertained by your blog...you have empowered me with Maze Shortcuts! Thanks, dude!!!
This is totally cool! I see 4 or 5 right off the bat that will help me. And is it sad that I want to try some of the others to prove I can do it?? lol Thank you!
Oooooo nice information to have. Thank you!
I just keep pressing "0" and eventually get the human. Maybe I'll try this method - it might be quicker.
Whoa. That's pretty cool...
Thank you!
(PS: It's also pretty cool to see that I'm not the only person that uses the word 'cool'!)
Why are you tearing your hair out, Martin?
OUTSTANDING!!! Now, if you could find a way to prevent companies from putting you on hold for 20 minutes, then transferring you to another department that puts you on hold for 20 minutes...
