If you listened any less I'd explode.

[marty]

Me: Thanks for calling Gamestore where we have Wiis in stock for the holidays, this is Marty, how can I help you?

SC: Yeah, do you guys have Wiis in stock?

[Trayol]

Oh how I know this woe.

Me: Thank you for calling dairy store we close at 10; how may I help you?
SC: What time do you close?
Me: ..10.
SC: Thanks <click>

[Fenrus]

I know EXACTLY how you feel...

Me: <blank> County Dispatch, Fenrus.
SC: I need <blank, exactly what I just said> dispatch.
Me: That's us, what can I do for you?
SC: <repeat last sentence>

I die a little inside...

"Empire Records, open til' midnight.... Midnight!"

Sorry, it popped in my head.

[One-Fang]

Me: Thanks for calling Gamestore where we have Wiis in stock for the holidays, this is Marty, how can I help you?

SC: Yeah, do you guys have Wiis in stock?

Oh, you're not going to like me.

I skimmed the first line, read the second, and thought "Huh, what's the issue here?" I had to go back and read the first line properly, and realised I'd missed the bit in the middle.

However, I had someone in a business class the other day explaining that's what people do. If you have a three-part statement for a greeting, they may hear the first, they will hear the third - they will NOT hear the middle one.

So you say "Thanks for calling Gamestore where we have Wiis in stock for the holidays, this is Marty, how can I help you?" and people in general hear "Thanks for calling Gamestore this is Marty, how can I help you?"

"Empire Records, open til' midnight.... Midnight!"

Sorry, it popped in my head.

I work at a concrete company. This is what I say when someone calls...."Good morning/afternoon. ABC Pumping, this is me." I've gotten calls for American Express, a fence company, a hotel, lots of different places that don't even sound like my company's name. And once in awhile we get someone calling Amanda or Joe (generic names, can't remember who they ask for, but they don't work here) for a conference call....and they call 3 times in a row asking for the same person and "that's the number given for the conference call"... no it wasn't, that person doesn't work here, and we're not That Company you want!
But that's not even the fun part....when you call my company, you get a recording: "Thank you for selecting ABC Pumping. For customer service, press 1. For all others press 2 or you may press 0 at any time to reach an operator." Ok, it says the name of my company when you call....then you have to press 0 or my extension to get me and I repeat the name of my company!....and you ask for a totally different company name!! Grrrr!

Next question: "Ok will you hold a Wii for me?"
