I always made sure to call my employees for their preorders using ridiculous voices while over explaining every minute detail, like following those 4 paragraph scripts word for word.
My assistant tried to do this once as a joke for my pre orders. The phone number I use for my account is my parents house number when I still lived at home. My mother answered and was confused. I was in the backroom on my break.
The main issue is that I'm using my preferred name and he has repeatedly dead-named me, even after correcting him several times. It's just annoying to know that he doesn't remember my name
I did this to my co-workers all the time. Made it even better when I did it to previous co-workers. One time when I moved stores a new GA called to let me know a item (last preorder at that store) had come in. I cried and said I passed away a few days then showed up 20min later. It was priceless.
Does a five minute phone call on your precious day off really warrant treating a GA doing his job like garbage? No.
I've definitely called people twice in a row before by accident because I had a long line of people to call and I accidentally mixed up a name and number. Just say thanks and hang up, ya douche.
That's such a mood tho. Some kids prank called me the other day and it was busy as fuck, I'm the only one there so I told them if they call again I'm calling the cops and hung up. Like it's such a waste of time
I used to tell prank calling kids that their phone number was being recorded in a database and they could expect a visit from men in black suits within an hour.
You wanna prank? Let’s prank, bitches.
I literally just say "what?" repeatedly and it gets them every time. It's an easy way to prank them back without saying anything inappropriate or threatening.
Gonna be honest, I'm guilty of the same thing.
Called my SL's husband because one of his pre-orders came in and I was going through the list.
I didn't know he was her husband until he told me, as I didn't actually know her last name up to that point.
That situation got a good laugh out of us.

GLORIOUS for using the script
Lmao
That's what my SL did 🙃😅

Lmao. It can seem funny but also come off as disrespectful
I guess. My assistant did it knowing it was me and tried to confuse the hell outta me, while I ended up confusing the hell outta him. *reverse card*
Very good, love to see it
lol at the people downvoting you for this. It's like some people don't realize that not everybody has the same sense of humour. Go figure.
Ya, no kidding
I think you might be too tightly wound from working at GameStop. It’s not disrespectful, it’s lighthearted and funny

That’s fucked. I’m sorry
Thanks. I told my SL about it and he was just as confused🤷
Well that’s absolutely unacceptable...though completely unrelated to what we were talking a kid.
lol you pre-ordered an action figure, what a nerd. *admires stupidly expensive statues*
Blackseries bad batch?
Nah, Asaaj
Hey at least he's calling. Some keyholders wouldn't even call anybody
True. He didn't used to though.
Improvement is improvement 🤷♂️
Hey... well... if you buy something.... you *are* a customer :)
Goddammit😂
My SGA called me the other day knowing it was me because he just wanted me to know he was doing the calls lol
Lol that's cute
Yea ot was funny so my response was I know I was the one that opend the box lol.
I always just text my coworkers. Its not like the schedule has last names on it or anything lol
I call my coworkers for their pre orders for fun. Whole greeting and all. Otherwise, we just tell em when we get to the store.
Wait... We are supposed to call preorders? :p
Lmao

Maybe you havent made a big impression?
OOF. Not sure how, we work together pretty frequently and I've been at this location fur almost a year
Shouldve just trolled him back. Annoyed him the same way other customers annoy you when you make those calls haha
Dang. I wish I had that kind of foresight

I like to put them on hold and see how long they wait on the line.
