Two Egg Rolls, Some Chow Mein, And A Cheating Husband
(I work at a food delivery company. I receive this call.)
Customer: “Hello, I would like to place an order. My number is [number].”
Me: “Right, that will be at [address]; is that correct?”
(There is a slight pause at this point.)
Customer: “Please repeat that.”
Me: “The address is [address].”
Customer: “Under which name?”
Me: “The name listed is [Other Customer] and the last order was on [date]. Is there a problem?”
Customer: “That’s the address of my friend.”
Me: “Oh, I understand. We can change that; where do you reside?”
Customer: “No, you don’t understand.”
Me: “Sorry?”
Customer: “I’m phoning from my husband’s phone. There’s not supposed to be a listed address other than ours.”
Me: “I… I don’t know what to say.”
(I’m feeling awkward and I can hear the customer reaching the point of tears.)
Customer: “He’s cheating on me. I knew it!”
Me: “…”
Customer: “It’s your fault! You took it to them; you should’ve let them starve!”
(She hung up and I was left confused and feeling responsible for some reason.)
