Fucking Hell!?!

What the F!?! I just called GameStop to find out their store hours to make sure I had time to get down there today after work, and I got the most bored-sounding guy EVER on the phone. Our "conversation" went like this:

GameStop Asshat: (in snotty, aggreived tone--note: this was at 10 in the morning, not five) Thank you for calling EB, where you can [sales pitch sales pitch sales pitch--the hell is he doing introducing the store as an EB store anyway? Didn't they merge ages ago?--sales pitch]. How can I help you?
Me: (Very politely, using my telephone voice) Yes, hi, I was just wondering what your store hours are.
GameStop Asshat: ::HUGE DRAMATIC, PUT-UPON SIGH::CLICK
Me: (looks at the call timer on my work phone) Hmm, hasn't disconnected, maybe he's transferring me...doot-do-doo....
CALL ENDED
Me: Motherfucker!

He hung up on me. He fucking hung up!!! What the hell kind of business practice is that!?!

I called from my work phone. Perhaps I was speaking a tad softly, but it wasn't like I couldn't be heard. I use this phone to place orders all the time. I used to have trouble with the old phone at my old desk, but this one has gotten no complaints when I've used it. And my telephone voice is very calm, slow, and clear.

And he's still an asshat.
