Got Owned And The Owner Wasn’t Even There

(We regularly get call centres phoning up wanting to speak to the owner, attempting to sell us broadband/electric/etc. In order to make sure it is legitimate we ask them for the owner’s name, who is female, and if they are right we will pass them on.)

Me: “Hello, [Cafe]. How can I help?”

Call Centre: “Can I speak to the owner?”

Me: “Do you know the name?”

Call Centre: “Bob?”

Me: “Nope.”

Call Centre: “Dave?”

Me: “Nope.”

Call Centre: “Am I close.”

Me: “Not at all.”

Call Centre: “Okay then, bye.”
