If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again

After this lady kept calling I looked up the moon phase and noted it's at 99% full. I could tell.

Repeat Violator Lady: RPV
Your Friendly Fedup Floral Specialist: Me

Me: Blah blah blah, opening spiel, how may I be of service..
RVL: Yes, I need to order flowers and I want that 40 buck fall arrangement..
and off we go, I start taking the order, get all the way through the recipient information before this..

RVL: *Insert long rambling diatribe involving cancer, foreign languages, the price of oil in the 3rd world and other conspiracy theories..followed by attempt to bargain my price down in crazy ways.* Your prices are too high. I'm calling your competitor! *Click*
Me:

Ring, ring, ring....

Calls 4 through 17...

Me: Blah blah blah, opening spiel, how may I be of service..
RVL: Yes, I need to order flowers and I want that 40 buck fall arrangement..
Me: Ma'am they are EXACTLY the same price as they were when you called X amount of times. You're obviously not going to order so goodbye.

I am hoping she was after each time... and yes, this was on the late night shift..

I'm basically doing what my avatar is doing right now.

Did she try for an 18th shot, or did you just stop answering her?

[calulu]

She might have called an 18th time but the phones rolled over to the overnight right after the 17th call. I'm sure she'll call at some point and bitch that I was rude but that's too damn bad.. I wasted so much time with that idiot and she was killing my sales to calls ratio last night.

Getting punched in the face?


Cal, sorry you had to put up with that. Seventeen calls is ridiculous. I think after about 10, I'd have just started asking "You know we're not giving you a discount, and you've gotten me each time you've called, so why do you keep calling? Are you actually going to order?"

Getting punched in the face?

Bangin' my head.

My avatar's a scene from the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when Willy Wonka (played by Johnny Depp) walks square into a seemingly invisible glass elevator.

But actually, the OP's SC's stupidy is so painful, it feels like getting punched in the face.
