Today a fellow comes in, and when I ask what he wants, size, location, features, etc., he says, "One bedroom. Nothing else really matters to me."<br /><br />So... I show him some. In the course of going from apartment to apartment with him, I'm able to establish that he wants:<br /><br />Top floor,<br />Big bedroom (he has a king mattress),<br />and price under $1000 (not impossible in this area, but not common either.)<br /><br />Now, if he'd told me these things in the office, we'd both have saved at least half an hour of our day, but it seems actually communicating needs concisely is beyond some people. The capper? After showing him several and eliminating one after another...<br /><br />He: "Don't you have any without connecting walls?"<br /><br />Me: "Ah, no... I'm afraid all of them will have at least one connecting wall."<br /><br />He: "Well, I don't want anything with a connecting wall."<br /><br />For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, there's a name for an apartment without any connecting walls. It's called a HOUSE.<br /><br />I wonder if he's the groom?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158951268559083713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831736675609259548.post-2882403634684271592010-03-20T15:32:52.331-04:002010-03-20T15:32:52.331-04:00Oh my gosh, you just reminded me why I always disl...Oh my gosh, you just reminded me why I always disliked working retail/customer service. I have a feeling that I have talked to THAT woman before. Or at least very close relatives!
