One old lady/man calling to ask if we can hold something, completely fine, happy to help them.
100s of able people making the phones unusable with calls they would never make if they had to do it themselves, unsustainable.
- encom 11mo agoAs someone who also used to work in a store, I'd just hang up. I barely had time to answer the phone most days, ain't got time for this bullshit.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoWhen I worked in a store I never answered the phone. Why would I prioritize someone's call over helping people there in the store who actually bothered to come in person. Drives me nuts when I'm at a store trying to talk to someone and they step away to answer a ringing phone. I usually walk out when that happens.
- encom 11mo agoYea, it was far down my priority list. Only responding to emails was lower. At the end of my shift there'd usually be 40 to 60 unanswered calls if I was alone at the store. God that place was awful.
