Reception staff dismissive about stopping text messages

Called the practice today and was greeted in an unfriendly manner. The receptionist who answered seemed unhelpful and indicated I would receive a callback, but before I could even request an appointment, they appeared irritated by my call and made assumptions about why I was contacting them. I found their manner to be quite curt. I also asked if the text message reminders could be stopped on my phone, as I felt I was receiving them unnecessarily for clinic appointments I wasn't attending. They responded that they might not be able to stop them and made a dismissive comment under their breath, as though I had made an unreasonable request. I was disappointed by their attitude. They explained the texts were needed for appointment confirmations, but I pointed out that if I book an appointment by phone, I already know when it is scheduled, and that prior to mobile phones, people managed perfectly well without constant reminders. The service used to feel more welcoming, but today's interaction was quite disappointing. Following this, a manager contacted me to apologise after reviewing the call and confirmed that the standard of service fell below what is expected. Update April 24: I continue to receive text messages despite requesting twice via email that they be stopped. If you prefer not to receive multiple unsolicited text messages, this may be a concern worth considering.
