This isn't the Carnival...

[Rine]

The mall my store is in frequently rents out the parking lot to various groups and we get this Carnival that comes in every six months. It's small and has the typical fair rides and food stands. I don't think I've told this story...

I was getting ready to clock out for work and I took an odd phone call.

Me: Thank you for calling ABC store, this is Rine, how can I help you?
SC: Yaaah, I was wondering if you if the Carnival was open. You know, the one in the parking lot.
Me: Um. No I don't know.
SC: Yaaah, well, it's near your store...
Me: Sorry, I came in at seven AM and the workers were still asleep, so nothing was running.
SC: Yaah, but it's near your store. Can't you look out a winder or something?
Me: No, this is the second floor. There are no windows.
SC: Do you know when the Carnival is leaving? It's near you!
Me: No, ma'am.
SC: But it's near you.
Me: I'm sorry--
SC: ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING? WHY DON'T YOU KNOW, DAMMIT?!
Me: Because this is ABC STORE, not the CARNIVAL! *click*

Sadly, I heard from another co-worker that it was the second time this person had called, apparently. I did go downstairs and looked out the window, but I couldn't tell just by that whether they were open or not.

I was so tired of listening to her "yaaaah, but." Yaaah? Then, she cussed at me. I figured, she wasn't a customer, so I hung up on her. Might have been the wrong decision, but...Oh well.

must have been the right decision

fixed for the truth
no reason you should entertain his rudeness, especially if she's swearing at you and calling you names.

Seems to me that calling the mall office or service desk would be the more logical route to getting information on things that the mall is in charge of...such as events going on in its parking lot.

Maybe that's just me.

There was a carnival in the parking lot of the mall across the street from where I work last week lol

I don't think the office to my mall is open anymore.

I think a more reasonable thing would have been to call the Wendy's right across the darn highway from it. At least they have giant windows with full view of the carnival. Still. That's mean of me. I wouldn't wish this idiot on anyone, especially a fellow retail/foodie worker.
