Me: “Thank you for calling [pizza place]. How can I help you?”

Customer: “Yeah. I got a couple of questions for you.”

Me: “Okay, what are they?”

Customer: “Is your pizza, like, really fresh?”

Me: “Well, sir, it’s fresh right out of the oven.”

Customer: “Okay. Is it better than [Competitor’s] pizza place?

Me: “Well, I don’t know, sir. I never order from them.”

Customer: “Oh, okay. I think they undercook their food.”

Me: “Well, I wouldn’t really know, sir. I don’t like their food at all.

Customer: “Oh, okay.”

(There is a long silence.)

Customer: “So, how was your day?”

Me: “Fine.”

Customer: “Okay. You working hard?”

Me: “Yes.”

(There is another long pause.)

Me: “Sir, is there anything I can help you with? Maybe some food?”

Customer: “Oh, no. I just called to ask those questions.”
