These Minutes Are Minutiae
Golf Course | Ontario, Canada | Right | July 30, 2012
(I work in the pro shop at a golf course, and people often call to make tee times. Note that our tee times are spaced 8 minutes apart.)
Me: “Hello, this is [golf course]. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Hi, I’d like to make a tee time for 2:30, please.”
Me: “Alright, I’ve got 2:32. Can I have your last name, please?”
Customer: “2:32?! That’s WAY too late! Do you have anything earlier?”
Me: “Sure, I have 2:24.”
Customer: “2:24?! That’s MUCH too early. You guys need to have better times!”
