Christmas Is Calling

It’s Christmas Eve, and our hours have changed for the upcoming holiday. All day, the phones have been ringing with a common theme: how long are we open?

Manager: “I wish people would actually check the website.”

Me: “I’m gonna change the greeting to say the hours.”

Manager: “What if it doesn’t work? Then you’ll just sound obnoxious.”

Then, the phone rings:

Me: “Hello, and thank you for calling [Store] where we’re open until eight. [My Name] speaking; how can I help you?”

Customer: “Oh! Until eight? Perfect.” *Click*

Manager: “Yeah, let’s use that greeting.”
