News Flash! If you don't have any money.....
It baffles me how many people call to order things and do not have the means to pay for said products. But what is even more baffling are the questions they ask. I promise you I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
caller - "Hi, um yes I was wondering if maybe if I wanted to order something and I have $75 that maybe well see if I had someone else who had $75 too and we could buy the big package for $150 together because I don't have the entire $150 myself. So like maybe you could take $75 from her and $75 from me. Well how would that work? Could you do that?"
My response - "Well maam what I would suggest is that you coordinate with said person and between the two of you figure out whose credit card you would like to use and the other can pay the $75 to whomever uses the credit card"
Brace yourselves because it does get better.
caller - "Well actually I don't have anyone in mind right now. I need to find someone first who would be willing or interested in doing that."
I know what you all are thinking because trust me I was thinking the same thing. "No this (explicative) did not!" Ok so who am I now, Suze Orman? .28 per minute does not get you financial advice.
So to all of my dumb ass customers who want to order something....news flash....if you do not have any money at the time of the call, if you don't get paid until the 10th and today is the 5th, if you don't have a major credit card or debit card, if your spouse has possession of the credit card and you don't know the number, if you left your credit card in your vehicle..... don't pick up the phone to call an order line. Furthermore, and I'm no spring chicken, but I think it's pretty safe to say c.o.d was obsolete even before I was damn born!
