I work in an IT department for a relatively small company that needs our department to work nights and weekends when needed. On the way to my desk today, I was walking by the elevator and heard the emergency telephone in it ringing. For some reason, I picked up the handset and this was the conversation that followed:
Me: Um hello.
Female caller: Yes hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with the order that I had placed earlier today.
Me: Well I am not sure what order that you have placed but I will try.
Female caller: Well my name is blah blah and I was wondering if I could add some more pizzas to the large order that I had placed for delivery at 7:30 tonight. Also, I would like to change the type and toppings of some of the other pizzas that have already ordered.
Me: Sure, why don't you go ahead and just tell me what you originally ordered and I will try and find the order slip.
Female caller: Why can't you just look the order up in the computer?
Me: Oh, well I am the only one here and they don't let me touch the computer.
Female caller: What? Why?
Me: The last time someone called in and asked me to change an order that had already been placed, I smashed the computer and yelled at the customer.
Female caller: [Silence for ten seconds]
Me: Oh, look here! I found your order slip!
Female caller: That's alright, just deliver what I had originally ordered. Thanks.
End of call.
:)
