Electronic Moronic
(I work at a big box electronics store, which is all we sell, and am answering the phones.)
Me: “Thank you for calling [Store]. This is [My Name]. How may I help you?”
Caller: “I need your electronics department.”
Me: “Yes, ma’am. Which section?”
Caller: “Your electronics department.”
Me: “We are only an electronics store, ma’am. Did you need computers, TVs, phones?”
Caller: “Electronics, please. I have already told you this.”
Me: “Yes, and as I have said we only sell electronics and I need to know what you are looking for.”
Caller: “Godd*** it, I already told you. Electronics!”
Me: “Please hold.”
(I place the customer on hold and turn to a coworker.)
Me: “Answer this and just say electronics so we can find out what she needs.”
