Can I see the Tarot Reader, please?
Here is a transcript of an actual conversation I just had. I have variations on this a dozen times a day.
“I’d like to see the Tarot Reader please.”
“Ok. The next appointment is available at 3.45.”
“Isn’t there anything sooner?”
“No, I’m sorry, she’s booked up until then.”
“Oh, so she’s here then?”
“Yes she is, she’s just doing other readings up until 3.45.”
“So I can’t have anything before then?”
“No, I’m sorry. The next available spot is 3.45.”
“Oh. So that’s the earliest time I can see her?”
“Yes it is, would you like to book in for 3.45?”
“Is there anything before that?”
“No, sorry, nothing before 3.45.”
“Oh, I’ll have to come another time.”
“Ok. No problem.”
I am the queen of diplomacy.
