Uh.... Have you ever called customer service lately?

		Or indeed 20 years ago when "press 1 for foo, press 2 for bar" was already a thing.

Do we employ mathematicians in customer service roles?

Luckily the job situation for pure mathematicians was already bad.

You mean the answer betrays the point: customer service is surprisingly hard, we just have a large number of people that are capable of doing it.

This is what the whole https://people.csail.mit.edu/brooks/papers/elephants.pdf is about.
