Transcript of a call I just got... it took me a while, but I think I finally have their system figured out:
I pick up the phone to this prerecorded intro, and my heart skips a beat and, knowing what will come next, I'm as excited as a kid on Christmas morning:
AS A VALUED WESTJET CUSTOMER, YOU HAVE JUST WON A FREE TRIP! PRESS 1 TO ACCEPT
Me: 1
[Dorky synth music]
Guy: Hello sir, congratulations, and in order to be eligible you have to be at least 25 and have a valid credit card. Are you over 25?
Me: Yes sir, I certainly am.
Guy: Great! Let me transfer you to one of our agents.
[Dorky synth music]
Susan: Hello! My name is Susan, how are you doing today?
Me: I'm doing great, Susan.
Susan: And who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?
Me: I'm Joe
Susan: Well hi there, Joe. I just wanted to let you know that you have an opportunity for a Mexican vacation-
Me:-Susan, sorry to cut you off, but I thought I won a Westjet flight?
Susan: Sir?
Me: Yeah, Westjet... aren't you guys with Westjet?
Susan: No, sir, we're not, our company provides special promotions for Mexican vacations
Me: Wow, that really sounds great. I can really use a break from all this terrible weather we've been having.
Susan: Well this it's a good thing we called, isn't it? [laughs]
Me: Susan, it's a GREAT thing you called.
Susan: Ok, so to check availabilities, I will first need your verify your phone numb-
Me:-Susan, sorry to cut you off again, but will I be able to bring my kids on this vacation? I have a little boy.
Susan: You certainly will be able to, sir, and if you let me go over our package we can-
Me:-Ok, that's great. Do you have kids as well, Susan?
Susan: I do... yes, I have a daughter.
Me: Great! Must be a handful, how old is she?
Susan: She's 8.
Me: They're so much fun at that age. Ok, sorry, go on...
Susan: Alright, so let me go over the details of our promotion and then at the end of it you can make an informed decision on whether or not this is something you want to take advantage of.
Me:[big laugh] Hahaha, sorry, did you say "take advantage of."
Susan: Sir?
Me: Sorry, I probably shouldn't have laughed... but that is exactly what I tell my son's friends when they come over for sleep overs... "don't tell anyone that Uncky Joe touched you down there, you don't want to take advantage of Uncky Joe's generosity, do you?"
Susan: ...
Me: Ok Susan, that was a joke, but seriously, have you ever thought about having a stranger pay to shove a dildo up your 8 year old daughter's ass? I'm a wealthy guy, and trust me I'd make it worth it for you.
Susan: SOMEONE SHOULD DO THAT TO YOU, YOU... YOU...SICK-O!
Me: Seriously Susan, I'm going to cut out your daughter's asshole and wear it for a bracelet.
Susan: [mumbles something about me being a 'fucking pervert']
[Susan loudly hangs up on me]
You had me at hello, Susan...
