Hey Chase, I have a newsflash for you. Lots of people pay their bills during the weekend. Many of your customers have jobs and kids and tight schedules. Sunday is often a good day to take some time, catch up on things. I suppose it’s also a good time for your IT department to sleep in.
I should be more understanding. What do you have ,$60 billion in credit card loans? I guess you can’t afford to have anyone available during the weekend to fix your servers when they go down. Maybe you should let Amazon handle the transactions for your Chase Amazon.com card.
I am unable to continue doing business with you.
