Alicia Martinez spent 1 1⁄2 hours on hold Thursday trying to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment for her partner at the United Center.
Then, at last, a human voice answered. Martinez had just finished giving the woman on the line her partner’s date of birth when she got disconnected.
“I was angry, I was upset. I was everything,” said Martinez, who is 67 and lives in Berwyn.
