~RING~RING~

Good morning. Royal Cab.

I need to go to the harbor.

Where are you at?

Kihei.

Great! So am I.

~RING~RING~

Good morning. Royal Cab.

You hung up on me!

Yes I did.

I need to go to the harbor.

Wouldn't it be smarter to tell me where you want to be picked from?

I am in Kihei.

Good morning. Royal Cab.

Quit hanging up on me. I need to go to the harbor.

What is the address of the pickup, Miss.

(Yelling to someone) Whats the address here?

~RING~RING~

Good morning. Royal Cab.

You hung up on me again.

Yes I did.

Why?

Because you are a blithering idiot, ma'am.

Did you just call me an idiot?

No ma'am. I called you a blithering idiot. Anyone who calls for a cab and doesn't know where they are is a blithering idiot.

You're rude.

No, ma'am. I am just honest.

I have never been treated so rudely.

I have a problem believing that.

Are you going to pick me up?

No.

Why not?

I don't think I could stand having you in my cab for the 30 minutes it would take us to get to the harbor.

I have money to pay you and I'll take care of you.

I am sure you do ma'am but I also have the right to refuse service to anyone and that is what I am doing.

You're an asshole.

Yes, ma'am, I am.

I did some "phones" for Yellow once. Taking orders is not easy.

Is that an actual transcript of a call?

LOL yet another post that got a giggle out of me this morning....everybody is on a ROLL this weekend!

When I worked in retail I always wished I could respond that way to the huge idiots....

my mom's ex-husband runs www.jokeaday.com and he makes a habit out of responding to idiot customers in pretty much the same fashion. It was one thing he was actually good for...
