I've always wanted to work this quote into one of my posts. Anyways, on to the story. Short one today.
SC comes in asking to use our phone.
SC: Do you have a phone I can borrow? I might get a room here.
Me: I'm sorry we don't have a public phone?
SC: Could you let me use your phone as a friend? As a friend? I don't even know you!
Me: I'm afraid I don't feel comfortable with people I don't know knowing my number.
SC: They won't know your number. I'm just trying to call my dad. Then unless he has a landline w/o caller ID, HE will know my number.
Me: There's a payphone just a five minute walk down the street.
SC: Forget it then. It's not worth it to get a room.
You're right. You're not worth the $80 that our hotel could have gotten.
