Fandom Post Office, February 10 (Tuesday)
Tuesday, February 10th, 2015 08:30 amThe phone kept ringing today. Considering how often it rang when Éponine was actually in the post office, and how often she kept trying to have other places to be in order to avoid it, it was probably ringing constantly.
It was always the same person, too.
"No," Éponine said after about the seventh call, "no, this isn't the movie theater, so I can't very well tell you if what you want to see will be showing there, now, can I?"
"No," she said again after the twelfth call, "this still isn't the movie theater and I still don't know. What d'you think, calling here over and over again will change that? You're cracked, 's what you are."
By the twentieth call (that she'd been around to field) she just resorted to picking up the phone, listening just long enough to make sure it was the same person, and barking "Go to the devil!" in her harshest voice before hanging up.
Look, they paid her to deliver the mail, not provide customer service.
