Not Very Timeshare Aware
(I have just started my shift and the phone rings.)
Me: “[Hotel], this is [My Name]. How can I help you?”
(There is no answer right away, and I repeat my greeting.)
Caller: “Hello?”
Me: “Hello? Can you hear me?”
Caller: “Hello! How are you today?”
Me: “Fine.” *pause* “How are you?”
Caller: “I am fine!”
(He then says something about timeshare properties that I do not completely catch.)
Me: “…Okay.”
Caller: “Are you interested in a vacation home?”
Me: “We’re a hotel.”
Caller: “I’m sorry?”
Me: “This is a hotel. I think you called a wrong number.”
Caller: “Oh.”
(I hung up at that point and relayed the gist of the conversation to my manager, who laughed.)
Manager: “We’re already a vacation property!”
