Without fail this woman calls the food bank at least once a week.
I seem to always get her calls.
I know her voice and manner of speech so as soon as she opens her mouth I know what she's going to ask for.
This is today's conversation. Keep in mind this is the general content of every conversation as well.
Woman: Hi I need to know where there's a food bank at such-and-such an intersection.
Me: *gives food bank info I already have memorized thanks to her*
Woman: But whenever I go they're closed.
Me: *I know, you tell me this every week* They're open on Mondays and Wednesdays only, when did you go last?
Woman: Friday, and they weren't open.
Me: They will be open tomorrow.
Woman: What if I stop by on Thursday?
Me: They'll be closed.
Woman: See? This happens all the time! Whenever I want to go they're closed.
Me: That's because they are only open two days a week and you can't just show up whenever you like.
Woman: But some days I'm too tired to get down there in the morning.
Me: Unfortunately getting up and actually going down there when they're open is the only way to get food from them.
Woman: I can't go on Thursday?
Me: No.
Woman: Whyyyyy?
Me: ...
Woman: Hello?
Me: Yes.
Woman: Whyyyyy?
Me: ...
Woman: HELLO?
Me: They're open on Mondays and Wednesdays only. You need to go one of those days to get food.
Woman: Wh--
Me: Mondays. And. Wednesdays.
Woman: OK. ... Can you tell me the hours of *other food bank*?
Me: They're by appointment only.
Woman: So what are their hours?
Me: They work on appointments only, it's not a drop-in facility.
Woman: Yeah, but what are their hooooooouuuuuurs?
Me: Whenever they tell you to show up.
Woman: Oh. I get it now.
Me: *No, no you don't, because we will be right back where we started next week.* Anything else I can help you with?
Woman: *looooong emo sigh* No... I guess not.
Me: Alright then, have a good day.
