I was a dumb SC on the weekend. Oh so dumb!
I rang up to confirm a resivation I had made a week before and when I got through to the guy he informed me there was no such resivation in my name for that night. I PANICED I had people who were coming thinking that we were going to this place for a SURPRISE party for another friend. I think it came out in my voice:
ME
guy on the phone: gonp
me: "ahhhhhh ok right well, umm, yeah I kind of booked it last week, so I don't know.."
gonp: "you sure you did?
me: "positive, for tonight, 8 people, get there by 6:30 on the dot of loose the reservation"
gonp: "ok...(goes quiet)..is your name abcd??"
Me: "no, my name is wxyz"(irritated voice)
gonp: " ok..................ok your reservation is not tonight it's for the 1st of March"
Me: FREAKING OUT! "No, it was meant to be for tonight, you couldn't change it could you?"
gonp: "yeap, done, sorry for the mix up"
Me: *sigh of relief* thank you so soo much"
The Dumb SC part....I checked my diary it was ME that screwed up and gave them the wrong date. MY fault, not theirs...ahhhh
Next part:
I get there. There is a huge line, there is always a huge line, it's why I booked so that I could by-pass the line. Lady from the place is asking people how many people per table.
I try to flag her down, but get ignored. Right ok. I go right to the front door and ask a guy holding the door open in a similar top, not the same, similar. ie: the girl had a black top with white writing on it. So what did I do, go right up to him and say
"hi, I have a booking for 8"
dude: "Woah I don't work here"
"woops, sorry just the black shirt"
Mate: "LOL so do I work here because, we're all wearing black??"
Me: "yeah, haha, I'm so sorry"
ahhhh
ok...what is my punishment...I can handle it...maybe
