Can anyone, including those from Microsoft, tell me how to stop Microsoft Loop from remaining fully functional within an M365 tenant?

Microsoft documentation? I've read/applied all that I can find and Loop remains FULLY functional.

Microsoft Support? Part 1...I attempted to complete this exercise, but it essentially went nowhere. I submitted all detail and evidence I had in front of me and the process was ridiculously slow...as if they were reading from a script. So I closed the case.

3rd party ideas/support? I've read/applied all that I can find and Loop remains FULLY functional.

AI? I have pages and pages of expertise that I've tried and Loop remains FULLY functional.

Microsoft Support? Part 2...Working with the fine engineering folks at Microsoft (again). Referred them to the previous case, provided all notes of what's been done/tried since, AND STILL get the "did you try" with references to their publicly accessible documentation.

Microsoft SUCKS.

TL;DR - Is blocking premature boarding a total scam/sham?

Just boarding a flight from MHT to
DCA and experienced a massive amount of gate lice. Or so I thought. The gate agent gave the, “our scanners won’t allow boarding if you attempt to blah blah blah.”

Boarding begins…

Concierge Key: 1
First Class: 18
Group 1: 5

Almost all gate lice is headed down the jet bridge ahead of me.

Group 2: 1 (just lil ole me)

I proceed to board and see 1 FC blocked off and 3 of the remaining 11 available FC seats empty. A good handful of those who boarded are sitting in the far back of the plane. Huh?

My question is, how does a CRJ900 (12 FC seats) allow 1 CK and 18 FC passengers?

What am I missing other than (possibly) the gate agent is able to bypass the supposed scanning restriction (I.e., alarm).

Genuinely perplexed by this. I fly regularly and can’t stress it enough how comforting it is/was to hear that sound. It’s decreased dramatically since being introduced though.

If you must ruin things for me by telling me it’s a total sham/lie, please do so gently. 🙃

...has decided to do away with the aggravating AI Chatbot and replace it with, get this, shenanigans.

FINALLY able to reach a human being after 20mins of circles. Liz was so understanding of my situation -- although she completely ignored my rant about Amazon purposely hiding access to the phone number, email and chat options. LOL. No biggie for me now cuz I captured the URL (take that Amazon!).

When all was said and done, I was prompted for a response to my Customer Service experience, and I gave Liz 5 (or is it 6?) stars throughout. Here's what I put in the "optional" field:

Absolutely horrible experience trying to reach some-thing/one in Customer Service (I'd take a chatbot over whatever the hell this "new" experience is).

Trying to resolve a quantity issue with an order and every option (i.e., two...just two) jammed down my throat was ridiculous. I could...

1. Return 14 individually packaged widgets and Amazon would send me the 15 individually packaged widgets I ordered (because someone or something can't count) OR
2. Return 14 individually packaged widgets and Amazon would credit my account.

Wow, Amazon. Just wow.

Interestingly enough, clicking on the "accessibility" link brought me directly to that super secret place where phone numbers, email addresses, and live chat options live. Win!

Come on now, Amazon. You certainly take more than enough from me with Prime! The least you could do is keep a few HUMANS around to deal with other HUMANS when they need assistance. Wake up.

And it's only gonna get better with AI and robot, folks. I can't wait. /s
