I asked today if we could do that where I worked and the answer I got was no.  When I pressed further asking why we dont use text messaging or have live chat interaction with customers when they're making appointments I was told that "people would abuse it, and start chatting with each other".  He seemed quite satisfied with the auto chat responses, "if the appointment time isnt available , it tells them!"  Yes, but does it tell them that if they made it for 1pm there would be a short wait, and if they take the 9:15  there are already several cars ahead of them and that their wait may be # hours long?


 Abuse it? :thinker:

As if people aren't sitting around chatting/texting on their phones.
