Me: “Thank you for calling [Call Center]. This is [My Name]. How can I help you?”

Customer: “Yes, I’d like to place an order.”

Me: “I’d be happy to do that for you; however, our ordering system is down. If you’d like to call back in fifteen minutes, someone can help you with that.”

Customer: “Okay, so is it fifteen minutes Hawaii time or your time?”

Me: “No… just fifteen minutes… I’m pretty sure that’s the same no matter where you are, ma’am.”

Customer: “Oh! Okay, thanks.”
