It's called.....would you mind going and checking for me?

I've been wanting to get one of those cheap plastic kiddie pools for my husky for awhile. It won't fit in my car, and mom informed me that dad took the motorcycle to work, meaning I could take the truck to go get one.

So I called the hometown grocery store where my parents live....

Me: Polite and inquisitive...
Her: Bored sounding...and I think I used to work with her... O_o


H: Hello, Felpausch. How may I direct your call?
M: Yes. Hi. I would like to know if you are selling kiddie pools and if you have any in stock.
*uncomfortable pause*
H: Yeah, I guess we have some in the lobby.
M: Oh...um....thanks.
H: Have a nice day. *click*

I just sat there staring at my phone and blinking. Should I have asked her to go look for me?!

When I worked there, I'd put the customer on hold and look if it was in my realm to do so. If not, I'd forward the call to the correct dept.

I didn't really want to have to drive out there to find no pools... maybe I'll call back later.

Feh.
