Father’s Day is a bit of a weird holiday. Often derided for its commercial roots, Father’s Day actually began somewhere in the Middle Ages as a Catholic holiday celebrating the role of fatherhood in the family and in the church. Here in the U.S., the holiday didn’t take hold until the early 1900’s as a remembrance for around 360 men that died in a mining accident before fading into relative obscurity. It wasn’t until the 1930’s, in the middle of the Great Depression, that Father’s Day took on a more financial nature, as struggling businesses turned to Father’s Day as an attempt to drum up new business and new revenue.

While I am a die-hard fan of hold music (“soft piano riff – 10 hour version” is my favorite), I’ve got better things to do with my day, like DM Wendy’s and hope they’ll roast me on Twitter. The point is, contacting customer service has never been the most streamlined or ideal process. So what’s the alternative? Sheepishly accepting the wrong order? Asking for help in person? Absolutely not.
