my internet company doesn’t’ wait to ignore me, every time it goes out before I call they send me a text telling me its out and will be fixed in 12 hours.
I told my wife over fifty years ago when she asked should she buy something “if there is money in the account buy it ,if not don’t buy it” that has seemed to work for us.
I started paying in cash now that a lot of businesses charge extra to use the card.
