Killed a bug

I must be the only one at work who kills tiny bugs with my hand, I use
my shoe for larger bugs. I killed a tiny spider I pulled out of my bag
after grabbing my cold Mountain Dew. I wiped the bug on my pants.

Saturday is the day of strange phone calls. We get people asking if we
are closed and today my coworker was asked if all the car rentals at the
airport are closed. I would not be answering the phone if I was closed.
Then we get the same people calling twice asking the exact same
question. We have a location in a suburb that transfers their calls to
us when they are closed. Most of the weekend it is closed.

Then we get calls asking if they must have a credit card to rent a car
(we know they spoke to somebody to be asking this question). We say yes,
they must have a credit card to rent the car. They ask if we do cash
rentals. Um, no, they must have a credit card to authorize the amount of
the car rental upfront and no one at the airport will take cash upfront.
Only when we get the car back are we willing to take cash. They ask who
in the airport take cash. Nobody.

I guess some people think if they ask a question enough times that the
answer will change. Sorry, rules stay the same. Post later.
