Can you hear me now?

This is how I started my day. I hadn't even been in the box office 5 minutes.

Me: Thank you for calling the box office how may I help you?

Patron: Yes, I want to get tickets for your first summer show.

Me: Certainly, what date would you like?

Patron:.......I'm sorry, I can't hear you very well.

Me (louder): Yes, what date would you like to attend?

Patron: Oh, I'd like to go June 10.

Me (still loud): Could I have your name please?

Patron:.........I'm sorry, I can't hear you. You keep fading out.

Me (even louder): Could I have your name please?

Patron: It's Jane Doe

Me (still very loud): And your address?

Patron:....It's 123 Main Street

Me (still very loud): And your zip code?

Patron: What?

Me (even louder--now I am echoing down the hall): What is your zip code?

Patron: What?

Me (shouting so loud that I could be heard up and down the hallway and probably through two doors): WHAT IS YOUR ZIP CODE, PLEASE??

Patron: I still can't hear you. Maybe I should just come in.

Me (shouting at the top of my lungs): YES, THAT WOULD BE BEST

Patron (mumbles): I can't hear her *click*
