But what if they're just there doing inventory or having a store meeting and it's not actually open? They probably shouldn't answer the phone then, but sometimes they DO.

If I have to give them my phone number or put another app on my phone, forget it.

From the other side of the counter, one time I helped catch a woman who was trying to buy an expensive purse with a stolen wallet and checkbook and pass herself off as the woman in the ID. It was during a Christmas campaign where we got stickers for every store credit card we got someone to sign up for, and whoever got the most stickers each week won a prize. My reward for stopping this criminal mastermind was a whole sheet of stickers.

Companies are so generous, aren’t they? Any employee answering customer phone calls during inventory shall be confined to the freezers.
