Less Social, More Security
(I am on working the register during a busy day and the line is building up fast. I have finished ringing up a customer and am gathering some information.)
Me: “And can I have your zip code, please?”
Customer: “Sure, it’s [zip code].”
Me: “All right, and a phone number?”
(The customer rattles off a number that sounds exactly like a social security number.)
Me: “Um, sir, that sounds like it would be your social security number.”
Customer: “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Customer: “You tricked me into giving you my social security number!”
Me: *speechless*
