Stick It To The Calculation
(A customer calls into the store about a printing calculator he recently purchased. The calculator is AC adapter powered.)
Me: “Hello. How can I help you?”
Customer: “I just bought a calculator and the numbers won’t clear off the screen.”
Me: “Okay, why don’t you reset it using the reset button on the bottom of the calculator.”
Customer: “Okay, I reset it but the numbers are still on the display. Should I unplug the power?”
Me: “Go ahead and unplug the power and try resetting it again.”
Customer: “The numbers are still on the screen, that’s not working.”
Me: “Sir, what numbers are listed on the screen?”
Customer: “One through nine.”
Me: “…Sir, is it a sticker?”
Customer: “…Oh.”
