It’s Going To Be A Long Night
(I work at a 24-hour gym. We are the only gym in the area that is open 24 hours and we advertise that as our main seller — it is on our billboards, buildings, website, fliers, etc. One evening I got a phone call:)
Me: “[Gym], [Location]. This is [My Name] speaking. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Hi, I was looking at your website. How late are you open?”
Me: “We are open 24/7”.
Customer: “So the website is not lying to me?”
Me: “No, sir, it is not.”
Customer: “So if I come in at 3:00 am that is fine?”
Me: “Yes, sir, it is.”
Customer: “So you guys are open 24 hours.”
Me: “Yes, sir.”
Customer: “Is your pool also open 24 hours?”
Me: “Yes, sir, and the basketball court, too.”
Customer: “So if I come in at 12:00 am and swam for an hour then played basketball for an hour that is completely okay?”
Me: “Yes, sir, it is.”
Customer: “Huh, so you really are open 24 hours?”
Me: “Yes, sir, we are.”
Customer: “What if I bring my son?”
Me: “Still 24 hours, sir.”
Customer: “Oh, okay, so just double-checking. Open 24 hours right?”
Me: “Yes. Yes, we are, sir.”
Customer: “Cool, thanks, bye!”
