On the Monday prior to spring break, I was trying to call into Beutel (a.k.a. Brutal) to make an appointment. I was on hold for 15-20 minutes, and finally decided this was ridiculous and walked to Beutel to make the appointment in person.
When I got there, I was informed that I COULD NOT make an appointment in person. “Appointments must be made over the phone,” I was told.
I told the receptionist that I had been on hold trying to call in and decided to walk across campus thinking that I would never get through in time before my class. I was then informed that “you may use the courtesy phone around the corner to make your appointment.”
I refused to call from a phone in Beutel to make an appointment at Beutel! If this truly is one of their policies, this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard!
