It went like this, last Friday. "I want X. Do you have anything
like that?" "No." "Can I see the catalog?... OK, here it is.
Do you have any of these?" "Let me check. No." (Manager intervenes.)
"You dipshit, that's a XYZ code, you can't look it up that way,
you have to call Carlene to let her check it to see if we have
any regionally." "OK, we might have some, but I'm not sure."
"OK, I'll just order it from the web site. Goodbye."
"Oh, no, we'll special order it for you, it'll be here faster
than if you'd used the web site." (Wait one week.) "Hi, I ordered
a part from you last week, it's a 15-889. Is it there?"
"Let me check... No, we have no evidence that you placed an
order here." "Thank you. Good bye."
