My brother and Tech support

[Crosshair]

My brother just told me this one and I'm going to tell it while it's still fresh. he doesn't have, or want, an account here so I'm going to tell it.

My brother works at a call center where they do tech support for the double arches. This involves race, but in a humorous way. To add to the humor, ND has the lowest violent crime rate in the nation, so when you do tech support for high-crime areas the difference can be funny.

A = My brother, Norwegian white
CW = Co-worker, black guy
Sup = Supervisor, also black.
Call = Caller.

Call: Hi, we just got robbed again and our system got damaged. (Technical details) How do we fix it?
A: OK, let me work out how to get that up and running. I'll get back to you with instructions. (Off call) Hey CW, "Call" restaurant was robbed and they need their stuff fixed. They were totally nonchalant about it, it's weird.
CW: Hey, ask them if it was a black guy. *Laugh*
A: What? No, I'm not gonna do that.
CW: No, it's totally cool, I wanna know what they say.
A: I'm not doing that.
Sup: What's going on here.
A: "Call" restaurant was robbed and they need help getting their system running. "CW wants me to ask if it was a black guy that robbed them.
Sup: Go on, ask them. It'll be funny. I wanna hear what they say too. *laugh*


My brother stopped right there and then shakes his head. I don't think he asked them. He has some interesting co-workers.

Yea, it certainly makes you wonder. Where I live, you are more likely to get shot, be it by staff or customers, than you are to get any serious money. Too much stuff is credit and debit card nowadays. Though gas stations here give a $.05 per gallon when using cash/check, but they put the big bills into a safe with a time lock.
