  • Oh yes, those two names sound alike!

    Short and sweet:

    Customer last night: "Yeah, I talked to Randall earlier, and he gave me some options for changing my flight."

    Me: "Well, there's no Randall here, but we have two males on duty, John and Steve."

    Cust: "No, I wrote down RANDALL (emphasis his)"

    At this point I ask for his name and look it up. It was Steve.

    Me: "Oh, you talked to Steve. He did document the record. How can I help you?"

    Cust: *laughs* "Steve? Damn. Where did I get Randall?"

    Me: *laughs* "Im not sure. I thought maybe we had a new employee."

    Him: *laughs* "Oh yeah, Steve and Randall sound TOTALLY alike. I swear I'm sober!"

    This was particularly cute because it was Superbowl half-time at this point. I also enjoyed it because he was sarcastic and self-depreciating like I tend to be when I screw up.

    It was refreshing to talk to a customer who made a minor brain-burp and managed to laugh at himself and have a personality about it.

    Unfortunately, so rare.

    Does Steve look and/or sound like Randall from Clerks, by chance?

      Is it just me, or does it seem like there are a lot of references to Clerks (one of my top ten) lately???

      It's so refreshing when people can own up to their errors...
      No... Just No! And I mean it this time!

          Well, no, but he's in line for the Stan Lee autograph event, and then, they're gonna have a sleepover...
