Keep prank calling me on a Friday night.

Hero: Discover ALWAYS swipes through correct for me the first time.
AmEX, makes my system freeze, cause it's confused on why there's a number missing. My tech guys called it the death card. It's killed my system before. Made it do a total restart.. and I shakily handed the card back with, "I think it's possessed."

Sound bored. I had a guy in a pink bathrobe and a cheap wig come through drive to "shock" us I guess. He was like "WAHT DO YOU THINK LOLOL" I just blinked and shut the window. He looked a little deflated.

"I think your wig is sideways, sir."

"It's not your color, sir."

Ah, gotcha. They weren't terribly common when I was working retail, so if we'd taken phone orders the 15 would have thrown me off. Didn't realize you meant shorter than the 15. Sorry

[Mr Hero]

FYI, American Express cards only have 15 digits, not 16 like MC/Visa. I'm guessing since they're not quite as common as other cards, you might not have taken too many of them (if any) in the past, so I can definitely see how that could seem fishy at first glance.

It's fishy because he quoted less than the 15 digits. The number he gave was short. Even for an AmEx.

SHW: At my hotel it's the Discover cards that are the bigger pain.

We know it only has 15 digits And they actually come through often in my area, I hope Hero doesn't have to do them alot (they're a pain in the ass.) But that's why they were dubbed the special card.

"I'm not paid enough to think, sir. Would you like to place an order?"

Fixed that for you

Maybe deflated in more ways than one...depending on his motives...

Me: What's the card number?
SC: *** *** *** ***

I type that in knowing it's too short of a number. Ya, I broke it up by 3's because that's how the SC read it off to me. For some odd reason, the computer accepted it as valid.

Ah Colfax. I never managed to drive that road with my car doors unlocked.

Lack of personal vehicle meant that for a time I had to take that damned bus from Quebec all the way downtown. About 70 blocks IIRC. Too many horror stories on those things. I thank the FSM that 1) I was able to move and 2) that they built the Southmoor station, so I never have to deal with Colfax again.

I'm one of those people who can be SUGARY sweet on the phone, but when I hang up, you'll hear, "Prick.."

[Mr Hero]

Oh my.. Hero. *gives cookies* I just hang up, The minute they sound like pranks, I hang up. So far, I' have YET to hang up on a truthful customer (Customers who are truly wanting to stay there, usually call right back., prankers dunno what to do if you hang up on them)

I'm still figuring out the best way to deal with prank callers. My theory right now is give them the benefit of the doubt, but don't let them detect any anger in your voice.
