"Is this The Food Whore?"

"Yes it is, how may I help you?"

"I am calling to arrange a Trick for my company's holiday party."

"For this month?"

"Well of course."

"What date did you have in mind?"

"This Friday, the 3rd."

"This Friday??"

"Yes."

"I am sorry, but I won't be able to help you."

"What? Why not??"

"We are booked."

"You're booked already??"

"Yes we are. That day has been booked for two months, actually."

"Who books so far out?"

"Well, no offense, but that is pretty much the norm. When it comes to holiday parties, you have to plan ahead and book early."

"So you're saying you won't Trick for me?"

"No - I am saying I can't trick for you. I have two Tricks on that day already."

"Well how do you expect to run a successful business if you aren't willing to work for people?"

"Excuse me?"

"Well I am trying to give you my business and you are not even willing to work with me."

"Ma'am. I am booked, I don't know what more I can tell you. But I can say that next year you should plan ahead."

"I am planning ahead - the Trick isn't until Friday!"

"Any time of year you can't call a Caterer this close to the function. But the Holidays, especially, you need to plan at least 2 months in advance."

"Well do you have the number to another caterer?"

"Well I can recommend a couple but I can promise they will be booked, too. Everyone is booked this time of year."

"Well then I am going to call the Better Business Bureau."

"For what reason?"

"Well you will receive a bad rating."

"Ma'am. I am sorry you're upset with me. But there's really nothing I can do."

"And that's why I am filing a complaint with The Bureau."
