Almost There

I'm fresh off a short morning shift and couldn't resist telling this story. So I happen to pick up a headset call this morning for one of the most indecisive women of the day.  It went a little like this:

Me: Hey what can I do for you today?
Customer: Uh, I'm not sure yet.
M: Ok take your time, let me know when you're ready.
(45 seconds pass in complete silence)
M: You have any questions about anything?
C: No, almost there.
(not quite sure I heard her right, at the time, so I didn't respond)
(another 45 seconds pass)
C: Almost there!
M: Are you sure you don't have any questions?
C: Almost there!
(at this point, I've understood her and am baffled as to whether or not she is talking to me...or finishing up, *ahem* something.)

Really that was it. I mean, she ordered and everything, but that was it. It was quite the curious interaction and it made me nervous. Who says "almost there" in a drive-thru? It sounds almost as though she was having a sexual act performed on her. There....I said it.

In other news, it was crazy busy today and it made me want to stomp on 2 day old kittens. A lot of smart-asses and dumb-asses should be enjoying some headaches later.
