Yes, thats right. Its time to draw the drapes and light the candle and have true confessions.
Years ago I worked for a Volkswagen Dealer that decided to build a brand new Dealership just on the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas. After the building was built and everything was in place we moved in and started to work. The phones had six places for numbers and the dealership used four of them. The last two were not used. One day I was in the coffee room drinking coffee and talking to the mini skirted phone operater that anwered all of the incoming calls. Mmmmm , coffee and mini skirts , one heck of a job benefit.
Mmmm ( hurumph!) Excuse me I got a little off coarse. Anyway the operater happened to tell me that the person that had installed the phone had made one small error. The sixth place for a number had been accidently installed and it was only one number off from the Sears & Roebucks number. She related that she had notice the light blinking on the sixth position and when she answered it was a Sears call. She said that it only happened a couple of times a day but everytime the light came on it was a Sears call.
Well , You know me. I thought it would be hilarious to answer the phone as if we were Sears and have some fun with the people. So I got her to tell me everytime a Sears call came . I of coarse would have her answer " Sears"
and when they told her where they wanted to talk , she would tell me what department it was and I would become that department manager.
One time Sears had some baby chicks on sale and an elderly lady called and ask me if the price was $.60 a peice and I told her yes that that was the sale price. She ask me if The chicks were in good shape and I said, " Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you wanted the chicks that are on sale. Those are all dead. Now if you want live chicks its going to cost you a little more."
Another time a man was very angery about his brand new Washer breaking down and I went through a whole lot things that he had to check are do before we (Sears ) could do anything about it. He was getting angryer and angryer and then when he was right in the middle of a long list of curses I told him. " Mr.
Jones , I'm sorry , but it is time for my coffee break. Would you mind calling back in about 30 minutes."
Another man called that the freezer door on his new refridgerater would not stay closed and he had just bought 3 gallons of ice cream for a birthday party they were going to have and it was melting. I told him he was in luck. Our serviceman just happened to be out in his area and I wanted him to hold that door shut until he got there. I told him it shouldn't take over 5 minutes till he would be there.
Of coarse there was others but the list of my rude practical jokes runneth over. I would like to apologise if any of you happened to be any of the people that Sears had less that good relations with. LOL It was probably me.
