    SC = blargle blargel WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERING JERKOFFS STILL ANSWERING THE FUCKING PHONE????????
    <actual conversation on a Friday night at 3am we closed at 2 am>
    Because we must. You never know when the DM or Corporate is gonna call (they took great delight in test-calling us at what they knew were our busiest times and when we were trying to run labor by GTFO'ing); if somebody was in the store, they expected the phone to be picked up. Period. If they were feeling really sadistic, they'd call at like 4 minutes before close to make sure we were still actively taking orders...>_>

      with some I do not really get a chance to ACTAULLY explain to the caller WHY we have to answer the phone after hours. most either just hang up immediately or cuss us out or plead with us for "just one more order PLEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE". a few will be nice and say "Oh OK" and hang up

        And today we had followup fun from Friday.

        Every other customer told me "I was trying to get this sorted out on Friday but your computers were down,you have no idea what a nightmare it was"

        Yeah, coz I was hiding in the toilet the whole time that nightmare was going on.
        Customer "why did you answer the phone if you can't help me?"
