No major SCs. Just some annoying ones.
Sure, I'll put your call through, but no one will pick up
*phone rings*
Me: *spiel*
SC: "Can I get Mikey in room 209?"
Me: "There's no one in that room. Do you know his last name?"
SC: "I don't know. It's his mom's room. I got through yesterday."
Me: "Well, there's no one in that room today, and I don't have any Mikey's registered."
SC: "Well, I really need to talk to him. Can you just put me through?"
Me: "Sir, that room is vacant."
SC: "But can't you just...well, nevermind. This is [temp agency] and I guess he's going to miss out on work tomorrow."
Me: "Guess so."
SC: *click*
With his tone, it was like a threat. Seriously, I don't know who Mikey is, and I don't care that he's missing out on work tomorrow. Emphasizing that point is not either going to (a) earn my sympathies or (b) allow me to magically divine where Mikey is.
Ghosts in the ceiling
Guest calls down multiple times complaining that people above him start thumping every time he falls asleep. No problem, just call the people above him and tell them to quiet down, right?
Except that there's no one above him. Those rooms are vacant. Which only irates the guest even more. I told him I'd check the walkway outside, but otherwise what am I supposed to do? I don't know what's causing the thumps, unless it's ghosts, and I'm all out of sage to do a smudging with. Sorry.
(And he won't move, as he's already settled in. Argh! At a loss for what to do...)
Well, FINE! to you, too!
*phone rings*
Me: *spiel*
SC: "Do you have an indoor pool?"
Me: "I'm sorry, our pool is outdoors and only open in the summer."
SC: "Oh."
Me: "If you're looking for an indoor pool, I can tell you that [competitor] is the only place in town that has one, and they're located at [nearby exit]."
SC: "Well FINE!" *click*
That...that snappiness was just rude. I saved you the time and effort by telling you where you can find a pool, and you snapped at me!
I mean, believe me, I've been asking for a pool tent for our pool for years now, but I don't think Corporate is going to spare the expense. If I could magically make our pool available in the winter, I would. I mean, I've already finangled having it open an extra two months a year, but I'm not God...I am a mere mortal and I can only do so much!
