This Caller Needs To Be Sectioned

(I work in one of the three support sections with similar names in a large company that works to ensure records and documents are correctly maintained for employees.)

Me: “[Section A], [My Name] speaking. How may I help you?”

Caller: “Yes, I would like to get a new ID.”

Me: “Okay, ma’am, that would be [Section B]. I can transfer you to them now.”

Caller: “What? I thought [Section A] did that.”

Me: “No, that’ll be [Section B].”

Caller: “Wait, so what do you do?”

Me: “We maintain your current and past records.”

Caller: “I thought that would was [Section C]!”

Me: “No, they work with section transfers and inventory.”

Caller: “So… what does [Section B] do?”

Me: “…what you are asking for?”

Caller: “Oh! Okay, I’ll call them!”

(She hangs up on me and moments later calls back.)

Caller: “Hi, I’d like to get a new ID card.”

Me: “…ma’am, this is [Section A] again.”

Caller: “But I pressed three on the robot phone voice!”

Me: “That is for us.”

Caller: “Then what’s the extension for [Section B]?!”

Me: “That’ll be extension seven, ma’am.”

Caller: “Why did it tell me to press three then?!”

Me: “I’ve literally called our line yesterday, ma’am, and it tells you we are three and [Section B] is seven.”

Caller: “It was three last I checked! You should check again!”

Me: “Ma’am, is wasn’t three for a few months now and they updated the automated message.”

Caller: “Well, it didn’t inform me of any change!”

Me: “One of the first things it says is ‘please listen carefully, as some of the options have changed.'”

Customer: “THIS IS STUPID! JUST TRANSFER ME TO [Section A]!”

Me: “Ma’am, this is [Section A]. You want—”

Caller: “YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT! I DON’T CARE WHICH ONE IS WHICH OR WHAT THEY DO! JUST SEND ME WHEREVER SO I CAN GET A NEW ID!”

Me: “One moment, ma’am.”

(I transfer her to the correct section and sit back in my chair with a sigh as a coworker walks by.)

Me: “I… am NOT… paid enough for this…”

Coworker: “Welcome to [Section A].”
