We have a customer who rings up on a regular basis to ask us to save magazines for him. It is worth mentioning that he is happily married with 5 kids between 6 and 18.
Initially when he would ring he would thank us and say how helpful we are. Over the last 5 or 6 years this has evolved through calling me young lad, love and petal.
Recently things have taken a rather worrying turn - he has taken to addressing me as Little Flower. I can thing of few people less suited to the nickname Little Flower than me. When he rings he now asks specifically if am here. If not he hangs up and rings back later. He has been known to ring up to six times in a day to get hold of me.
On friday the phone rang.
Me: Good afternoon Boggles The Newsagent
SC: Good afternoon my little, handsome sexpot.
Luckily for me the boss has agreed that this has gone way too far now and is going to have a word with him on monday when he comes to collect his order. I have suggested the words i would use but the boss feels he can be slightly more tactful.
