She completely ignores that it's more disrespectful to waste the readers time with small talk before a question. If she wrote an FAQ, would she write an FAQ like this:
Q: Hello HSBC, I hope you're well this Friday afternoon. I was wondering what your phone number is.
A: Hello dear customer. Happy Friday to you too! We would love for you to call us. We always appreciate talking to customers about their banking. It's XXX-XXXXXX.
Q: Hello HSBC, I hope you're well this Friday afternoon. I was wondering what your phone opening hours are.
A: Hello dear customer. Happy Friday to you too! We would love for you to call us. We always appreciate talking to customers about their banking. We'll be ready for your call between XX and YY Mon-Sun.
So that's what a non-"toxic inhumane wasteland[…]shaming[…]…excluding women and people of color" would look like?
