Old Marge working in the small town version of the same knows full well it's likely a mistake on the order takers behalf n would question first. Where the fire is sure to spark, when normally polite customer A goes back in for them to remake only to be told by someone barely able to communicate, "swir, dhatz how yu urdered at". It's become a drive through, fast food joke how many unqualified peeps are on the front lines working in positions where good communication skills should be a must. Not picking on anyone from anywhere, don't care if your green, purple or blue n have six heads, if you can do the job, have at it.
On the flip side, even when being reasonable, all too often takes pushing way harder vs what it should for a mfg / vendor to do the right thing. No not the customer version of the right thing, the real right thing.
Yet another part of our lives where common sense by parties on both sides of the counter would see all of our lives run just that much smoooooooooooooother.
