I think the problem, and there's really no excuse for it given the state of things at the paper, is management have pared back EVERYTHING and EVERYONE into the bone which is in this case self-defeating. They have an option for callers wanting to sign up for PG+, who'd rather not do it online, to call in. If this is going to be the result they'll get fewer sign-ups than the handful they'll get anyway.
