Sale Fail, Part 4
(I am working alone in a chocolate store. I transferred from another store about three months ago. I get a call, and thankfully it isn’t busy.)
Customer: “Hello, I am wondering if you have a sale for your chocolates going on?”
Me: “Well, we always have a sale on something. What are you looking for today, sir?”
Customer: “Buy-three-get-three-free on the showcase.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, we just finished that sale.”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “We only had it for the summer; it’s October.”
Customer: “But you always have it during this time!”
Me: “I’m sorry, but the sale is done.”
Customer: “How long have you been here for?”
Me: “Over a year, sir.”
Customer: “See? You haven’t been here long enough!”
Me: “If you want, this Saturday, we’re having a similar sale for one night. Buy two, get one free.”
Customer: “When’s that?”
Me: “Well, it’s [event], and between seven to ten we’re having that sale.”
Customer: “Good. That’s the sale I want. Goodbye.” *hangs up*
(I remembered later that he would need tickets to get that sale, since it was a charity event, and I wasn’t working it.)
