Shop Talk
Pocket Dial!
Customer in store, telling you their life story that you've already heard a billion times. No one else in line behind them. They will keep talking to you until you become busy. So I pocket dial. I have the store number on my speed dial. Once the phone rings, the customer wraps it up and they're on their way. I answer the phone as I would if it were an actual person calling. Poof! All gone! 😈
I give the kids a cheap phone I have with a movie on it, so the grown ups can talk. Buys me about 20 - 30 minutes.
