Home show aftermath

[growler_south]

*ring ring*
Hello- Bob from the BNZ here, you filled in a form at the home show requesting to be called regarding a mortgage?

I did? uhhh, ok, if you say so...

Yes, a promotion in conjunction with Harvey's real estate.

Oh! THAT form! yes, but that was just to get the free coffee. If you filled in the form you got a coffee.

Thats ok, I've called 139 people tonight and none are interested in mortgages, they were all after the coffee too. I dont suppose your interested in what the BNZ has to offer?

no, sorry!

Thats fine sir, thanks for taking the time to fill in the form and I hope you enjoyed your coffee. Have a pleasant evening sir.

the free coffee?
more like the hornbag of a barrista's phone number werent it?

Explaining that would've made a more interesting conversation, I think.

Can you immagine how angry that guy would be? He's probably been given the job of ringing everyone from the show, by some woman who hates him cos he stopped calling her, and just wants ONE PERSON to get information on a mortgage, but they only wanted coffee... it's really funny actually :P

Nah, he would just be some guy in a call centre, being paid per number called- he didnt seem particularly upset, he was actually fairly jovial about the whole thing :-)

you should know by now, the old adage is true...there's no such thing as a free lunch...

I'm not sure if that is truly fucked up, or the funniest thing I've read today!
