"Hello? I can't help you."I
"Hello? I can't help you."
I am trying to find a company that I saw advertise in a local paper. I cannot recall the name of the company or the phone number, but I can describe in detail what the ad said and looked like. I decided to call the
paper, who shall remain nameless to protect the stupid, to talk to the ad department thinking, since they don't have a tremendous volume of advertisers, they may possibly be able to help me out if they had a description of the recently ran ad.
The girl that I was lucky enough to have answer the phone seemed stumped by my query. After I explained what I was looking for, she asked, "Do you know the name of the company?". I said no, and she asked if I knew the telephone number, to which I replied, no. At this point she said, "If we don't have the phone number or company name, we cannot look it up." After rolling my eyes back from inside my head, I just simply said, "Well, if I had either one of those things, I could contact them directly and wouldn't need to be calling you to find out who they were now would I?"
I then thanked her for her lack of assistance and hung up.
