The worst "foreign call center" experience I've had lately...

Hotel check-in. Walked in, lady at desk is read a novel, I ask "can I check in?", she directs me to a video-conference kiosk across the room, which is actively in-use by a high-maintenance customer who, in addition to changing her reservation details, can't understand a fairly light Indian accent. 15 minutes of waiting later, this other customer is still going around-and-around with the call center guy (who's being nothing but patient and trying his best with the system provided), the lady at the desk, rolls her eyes, harrumphs, and asks if I want to check-in with her instead.

Which hotel?
It was the Quality Inn in Kill Devil Hills, Outer Banks, NC. Typical mediocre beach hotel in that area.
