I'm not.

The agent's screens are far less robust than some of the stuff we have on the web.

I am often quoted erroneous fees on the phone and have to argue my way out of them. Most recently, it was an award change fee as 1K just a couple days ago.

I suspect it is a deliberate fee collection strategy under the guise of sloppy programming.
