Direct tv installation

Why did AT&T send an installer to OUR HOME without wearing a face covering during the Covid19 pandemic. YOU PUT US AT RISK DOING SO. SHAME ON YOU, I WILL BE PERSUING THIS FURTHER! I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THEY WOULD AND WAS REASSURED THAT THEY WOULD DEFINITLEY BE WEARING FACE COVERING!!!! I AM BEYOND IRRITATED ANOUT THIS! I WANT ANSWERS!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! PUTTING YOUR CUSTOMERS HEALTH AT RISK IS BEYOND BELIEF!!!!!!

@LCrowl

A customer support agent has no way to guarantee a tech would be wearing a face (mask). They can put a note on the order that it is requested, but it depends on your state if it is required or not. So in that case it is up to the individual tech, or perhaps the rules of the dispatch they work out of.

I live in a state where there is currently no requirement for masks. Some people wear them, some don't. So until there is a statewide ruling requirement masks for everybody, then I shall make no assumption that a tech coming to my home will have one.

The alternative is having your own spare unopened mask to offer them.

Did you offer the installer a mask when he showed up without one?

It's called CYA.

there is no way anyone on the phone could promise a tech would be doing anything whether wearing a mask or washing his hand before getting out of the truck. Did you let him in the house? Did you allow the work to be performed? Directv hires 3rd party installers. They are not directv employees 3rd party companies have their own regulations

A csr can't assure anything that the tech will or won't do all they can do is note the work order it's up to the tech and dispatcher to actually read the note (or not) in most cases work order notes DON'T get read
