The distributors.
I have not come across a more useless bunch of wankers in the
distribution business.
Me: Hi, do you have this part xxxx?
Them: Do you have an account?
Me: No, but if you have the part we will open an account to purchase.
Them: You need an account.
Me: I just need to know whether you stock the item.
Them: You need an account.
I used to have to spec parts from "Hamilton Have-Not"....
Salesdroid: "Oh yes, we have 128 of those in stock."
Moi: "Great; I'll be over to pick up 30..."
Salesdroid: "They're not here...they're in Dallas.."
Moi: "No problem; ship 30 here & I'll come pick them up - Tuesday?"
Salesdroid: "Err....."
By the time I left that assignment; even the procurement folks were
using my version of their name...
