Ring Ring Ring…<\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> Good morning, this is Susie, may I help you?<\/p>\n

Associate:<\/em> Yes. I placed an ad in the EWM Mailer and I just got a price reduction. But now the Ad System won’t let me put the new price in. Can you change it for me?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> It’s great that you got a new price, but the Mailer’s already been printed.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Associate:<\/em> So you can’t make the change for me?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Me: <\/em> Well, no, the Mailer’s already been printed.<\/p>\n

Associate:<\/em> But it’s just a little price change. It would only take you a minute and I can’t do it.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> Nobody can do it. We printed 85,500 mailers and by now they’re all at the Post Office.<\/p>\n

Associate: <\/em> You mean I can’t use the new price?<\/p>\n

Me: <\/em> No, not for this month’s mailer.<\/p>\n

Associate: <\/em> Okay. How about the Real Estate Guide? I put an ad in for this Sunday. Can you change it there?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> Actually, Nicole’s the one who handles the Real Estate Guide, but this is Friday and I’m sure it’s too late to make any changes.<\/p>\n

Associate: <\/em> Why?<\/p>\n

Me: <\/em> Because Nicole had to send the ad to the newspaper Wednesday and they went to print Thursday.<\/p>\n

Associate: <\/em> But it’s just a little price change. It would only take a minute.<\/p>\n

Me:<\/em> Can I put you on hold for a second?<\/p>\n
