          I will always side with myself. I find that when you're honest you don't need to remember as much. When you're right and honest, even better. When you're right, honest, reasonable and have the majority share of the brains in a 2 person debate then it's worth staying true to yourself.

                    Most customers don't know what they really want.
                    Most agents don't know what the customer needs.
                    Possibility you are wasting your time going to a F2F before a phone interview, very high.

                    Against the possibility that you will not get the job because you didn't do a F2F, low.

                    Also the people that will drag you 300 miles, without a phone interview, are people you don't want to work for.
