Hello, thanks for calling 1-800-CAT-MUGS. Before you ask, yes I know that’s not the number to the store but I’m afraid that number was already taken. Also, yes it’s a brick-and-mortar store, not a warehouse with a virtual storefront like most of the “1-800” businesses are. I don’t really want to get into that whole thing right now- besides I don’t even know you. Now, what can I help you with today? Oh, no sorry I think you have the wrong number.

Hi, there. Welcome to the store. Or should I say “Welcome to the roar!” No, I suppose I shouldn’t, sorry. Well let me know if I can…hey wait…where are you…oh well.

Hi, I’m Herbert. Are you looking for something specific? Oh, uh yes- the food court is just down the way there.
2:11 PM, phone rings
Hello, thanks for calling 1-800… what? No, just cat mugs. Yes, coffee mugs with pictures of cats on them. Well yes, now I know that it’s a terrible idea but it’s not like I’m going to be able to get my 401K back at this point and I know after the “scene” I caused when I quit my job at the bank that I won’t be headed back there anytime soon. Listen…hello? Dammit.
