Last week I answered the phone.

It was a man asking about a reservation later that night. I tell him we have availability and to call back when he knows what time.

I go back to work.

45 minutes later the phone rings it’s him he proceeds to tell me that he called 45 minutes earlier and a young lady had told me we had availability.

Seriously.

A young lady? I’m the only person to answer the phone in days.

He insists he spoke to a young lady.

I don’t take it personally. There’s far worse I could have been called.

But is my voice that high?
