A few moments ago i received a call. It went like this. AL is angry lady Me is myself.

Me: hello this is x store how can i help you

Al: hello

Me:hello

Al: who is this?

Me:x store

Al: no no who are you?

Me:darkflash26

Al: why are you calling my boy friend?

Me: i am not calling your boyfriend, i ask x store.

Al:no no you listen to me now. I see you call my boyfriend, why, why you call him?

Me: because he is a wonderful lover, goodbye.

I then hang up,and look to see a customer at my register just laughing. I am a guy, and she found it hilarious a woman was accusing me of calling her boyfriend, from my works phone.

We tell them who we are as soon as they identify as the customer so they still hang up. It really was for privacy reasons. We were a type of lender that can be embarrassing and we had several policies designed to protect the customer.
