It is not normal to speak to a real person at Google, no

One time they had phone tech support for Google music many years ago and it was surreal to talk to someone at Google

I have talked to a real person at google a number of times in the past related to pixel support, as well as a few other topics. But it was YEARS ago. Just like every other company, it has gotten harder and harder to speak to a real person.
