Our hostess was a no-show today, so I had to answer the phone (not one of my favorite things to do there). At least this one conversation entertained me. Thinking of my hero Kara_CS, I wrote it down to share with my co-workers, a manager, and CS ...
ME: Thank you for calling [restaurant-name], may I help you?
CALLER: Hello?
ME: Hello.
CALLER: Hello?
ME: Hello, thank you for calling [restaurant-name], may I help you?
CALLER: [Restaurant-name]?
ME: Yes.
CALLER: You are a restaurant?
ME: Yes.
CALLER: You serve Italian food?
ME: Yes.
CALLER: I have coupon.
ME: Okay.
CALLER: It is for after 5 p.m.
ME: Okay.
CALLER: I have other coupon.
ME: Okay.
CALLER: It is for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
ME: Okay.
CALLER: You are near [shopping mall]?
Actually, we're in the mall's parking lot. But as the woman asked this, my co-worker Johanna walked by. I quickly handed her the phone, explaining, "they need directions," and immediately turned away so she couldn't see my evil grin. As I made my escape, I heard ...
JOHANNA: Hello .... Hello .... Yes .... Okay .... Yes .... Okay ....
(Yes, I was evil today. But I was on-time: I'd earned it!)
