A quick conversation with the phone bitch

[Antisocial_Worker]

Just got off the phone with this one. Lots of fun.

Phone Bitch: I want to speak to the manager.

Me: I'm speaking, how can I help you?

PB: Are you the manager?

Me: I'm as close as you'll get. How can I help you?

PB: I want the manager.

Me: I'm as close as you'll get. What can I do for you?

PB: I don't want as close as I can get. I want the manager.

Me: I can help you.

PB: I don't want you to help me. I spoke to someone three weeks ago, wanting to talk to the manager and I still haven't gotten a call back.

Me: She's out of the country until April 1st.

PB: Then I want to talk to whoever is over her.

Me: There is no one over her. She owns the property.

PB: Then she must have a cell phone number or something. I want it.

Me: I'm not giving you her number in India. How can I help you?

PB: I just told you how you can help me.

Me: And I'm telling you I'm not going to do it.

PB: Then you're saying she'll be back on April 1st? Fine! (hangs up)

Damn, we gotta wait a whole month to find out what this "lady" wants??!!

I love the SC theory that demanding something enough times will make it so.

*If I just ask twelve more times, the poor, mistreated employee might cave, or reality itself might shift the the manager will somehow return to the country now!*

Ok, enough, it's dark and scary in the head of an SC, even a pretend one.

I have a couple of suspects in mind as to who this might be and what she wants. One left some clothing behind here, we couldn't find it, and she's NOT happy about that. The other was a victim of incompetent housekeepers, although I still think she caused at least some of her own problems.

Alright, who want to lay down money that says she'll call back three times a day between today and April 1? I'll start off with five dollars...I've got $5 in the front row, do I hear ten? Ten? Ten? Ten! How 'bout $15?

If the customer asks twelve times, you answer thirteen.

Mabee you can contact your manager and get the hotel phone number, then give it to the customer. Long Distance charges are going to cost that customer alot.
