Yeesh, sorry to bother you Google

My dad got a piece of mail about Google Tags, and I had some questions.  The brochure they sent had a phone number, so I decided to call.  The first thing I wanted to know was if the businesses at his outlet mall could somehow share a tag, since they’re all at the same address.

She spent about 45 seconds telling me why this couldn’t possibly happen.  I listened to her whole spiel, then in what I thought was a friendly tone, said “Thanks, that answers my question.”  I had a few other questions I was going to ask, but she responded to this by sarcastically saying “ooooooooKAY!” and proceeded to hang up on me.

I should probably be offended, but I found it hilarious.  It’s one thing to be rude to angry or otherwise difficult customers, but someone who’s genuinely interested in purchasing your product?  That’s a sales tactic I had never considered.
