"I have your phone...."

[Frantic Freddie]

This is from my wife the pharmacist last night:

They get a call & the guy says just that "I've got your phone"."What do you mean?" they ask.

In the drive-thru there's the pillars with the pneumatic tubes & call button & a phone to use if they can't hear the speaker.

Well,turns out Mr. Brilliant drove off with the phone in his car & tore out the phone line,cracked the tube & took out a fair-sized chunk of concrete too.

I'm thinkin' it had to damage his car too,wonder if he's married,I'd love to hear that explanation!

Yeah... that couldn't have been good for his car.

I've seen something like that happen at a gas station here recently. Guy left the fuel nozzle in his car and forgot about it, and drove forward to park outside the store. Rip! Good thing the safety valve worked, but there was a good bit of gas all over the ground.

not to mention.... would he be liable to pay for the repairs?

Hell YES! There's no manager spineless enough to let a customer walk away from that one.

awww!! isn't it sweet? Panacea is still an optimist!!

[Frantic Freddie]

They're not gonna go after him for repairs,apparently the company sees it as a business expense.
The wife tells me he's a regular customer & a nice guy,after all he did at least admit to what he'd done & not just drive off.

The title makes it sound like a ransom call!

Cost of doing business. Insurance will cover most of it, I'm sure.

Some lady once did this at my store and screamed at my manager "Your pump damaged my car, what are you going to do about it?!"

He calmly replied, "Ma'am, your car damaged my pump...what are YOU going to do about it?"

She stuck her nose in the air, harumphed, and drove away. He chuckled and snapped the hose back together. Good as new.

When I saw that title, I was reminded of a line from the latest Star Trek film.

Kudos to the customer for stopping and admitting when he made a mistake.

Shame on the manager for not doing the right thing and sending the information to both the store's and the customer's insurance policies. "Business expense" means that he will have to make up that loss in sales, most likely by raising prices.
