again, background: answering phones at a pizza place in the wee hours of the morning (12am-4am)
drunk 1:
me: Thank you for calling, can I help you?
drunk: *places order*
me: Ok, that'll be $11.13, did you want to pay cash or credit?
drunk: Credit.
me: Ok, what's the number?
drunk: uh... 9.
me: ok?
drunk: 9827.
me: is that it?
drunk: Uh, yeah.
me: It's a four digit credit card number?
drunk: Uh, yeah?
me: Um, is there anyone more sober who can tell me the number?
drunk: Uh, no.
me: Could you pay with cash? That would be much easier.
drunk: Uh, the number's 4.
We went back and forth awhile until he hung up. If we were busy, I would've hung up first.
drunk 2:
similar story, up to the credit card part. lady is trying to relay the card number from someone else and is getting all the numbers wrong (I can hear the person telling her the numbers).
me: Could you just hand the phone to whoever has the card? That would be much easier.
and she does, and yes, it was a lot easier.
bonus:
heard in the background while someone was placing an order:
"There's a Dayton cop, get inside."
