Honestly if someone was this insisting IRL, I would start feeling harassed. "D00d, just cancel my membership and leave me alone."

The difference is that IRL you can escalate the situation which means the person on the other end is incentivized not to let the situation escalate (a visibly pissed off customer isn't a great sight for other potential customers), thus they're unlikely to be as pushy.
