Some telemarketing companies call and try to get a recording of you saying "YES" so they can send you items and/or bill you. (Normally just bill you) We started keeping track of calls that are spammy telemarketers or rude salespeople or...just non-legit businesses to begin with. There is a list above the phone for handy reference!
Today the caller I.D. showed a call from an area code where we had previously had both rude hang up calls AND calls from marketers trying to get you to say "YES" on tape. (They edit out the rest of your conversation)
I answered the phone the way I normally do, "Thank you for calling (store name), how can I help you?"
Scummy Telemarketer: What, did you say (repeats name of store)?
[Wow he tries for a 'yes' right off the bat!]
Me: Indeed that is our name! (hey it's not a yes! LOL)
ST: Do you do loans?
Me: And so much more!
ST: Do you do (insert all kinds of things he asks, trying to get a YES answer)
Me: We do it all, sir, how can I help you?
ST: Well we print the bags for the Supermarket Pharmacy (says name) on West street (there is no such store, it closed) and they offer advertising opportunities on their bags. Are you interested?
Me: No thank you, our customers are only into illicit street drugs, not prescription drugs.
ST: Excuse me? What?
Me: Our customers only use street drugs, they wouldn't see our name on prescription bags, I'm sorry.
ST: What is your business again?
Me: Repeats store name.
ST: NO! What do you do there?
Me: Mostly I sit on my ass.
ST: No, no, what do you do, what kind of store is this?
Me: I don't know sir, YOU called ME.
ST: Yes! (repeats bogus offer)
Me: No I am sorry, we just aren't interested.
ST: CLICK! Slams down phone in my ear
:) Not a YES to be had, awwww poor scummy telemarketer!
