The other day, a customer called wanting to know how long it took to get a phone number (another coworker originally answered the phone). I asked which number he wanted and he said that he wanted a number where he could complain without talking to a machine. I offered to get the manager and the customer wanted someone above the store manager. I ended up getting customers at the register I was using so a 3rd coworker took over the call and ended up telling the customer that he needed to call corporate.

Ha, I was TWICE just this week asked, "Is this a real person?" The second time I'd about had it with idiots in general and said, "Ma'am, if I was a robot how could I even answer that question?"
Next time I'm going to say, "No, this is the Ad-Bot 3000, the latest in newspaper mechanization! How may I assist you, human?"When you start at zero, everything's progress.

I got asked the other day if I was a real person. I said, "Last time I checked, sir." He apologized and said he only asked because I sounded like "one of those computer people.""Redheads have at least a 95% chance of being gorgeous. They're also concentrated evil." - Irv

To be fair, I did get an automated dialer/answerer that did a remarkable job for over a minute of convincing me it was a human salesman. It wasn't until I gave it a question off its script that I started getting nonsensical answers, and started suspecting it. The tech is getting better at spoofing human speech.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

I never got that, but what I did get was something like, "oh god an Indian!" to which I usually responded with my full southern drawl... or a near-perfect impression of the tech support rep from Foamy. (Much swearing in this)Supporting the idiots charged with protecting your personal information.
