To the question, if anything, it was at the time of the call that you should have made sure you would get a voucher. I know the agent said so, but I guess the agent was not being thorough and just agreed with you on voucher without knowing what the system was really doing? Don't the agents over the phone generate the voucher order instantly so they can give you a reference number or something?
