Our Menu Has Changed- or has it?

You can't call an 800 number and listen to a recorded message without the voice reminding you not to press a number until you hear the selections ."..as our menu has changed."

Does the menu really change? I don't think so but I am too afraid to press a number before I hear all the options for fear that I will lose my place after I have been on hold for 1-2-5-9 minutes.

Then of course when you press the number you have to SAY or ENTER your 19 digit account number. Once completed you anxiously wait for confirmation or I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE NUMBER, please say or enter your 19 digit number. Once again I dutifully type in the number and press #. Same response, "I can't understand the number.... Please say, Associate".  "Associate, Associate, ASSOCIATE!"

Once connected the associate realizes I have to be transferred to another department. It is at this point that I realize I can probably do without.
