So it all started with an accidental prank call that I made to Starbucks. I called the store where David works, hoping that he would answer, so that I could ask him a question. He didn't answer, so I didn't feel like bothering with making the girl go get him and everything because it wasn't all that important. I found myself asking the girl a made up question about what frappacinos are, and what kinds they had. I figured it was harmless enough, but then I felt like the biggest loser ever because I had just accidentally prank called Starbucks my myself in my car.
Later that day, Gabby and I were hanging out and we were bored. I told her about my phone call, and we had the idea to prank call his store with a planned-out scenario. We concocted a little story:
I am going to be a crazy lady calling the store with a 2-fold question. First, I'll explain that I accidentally knocked a 1 lb. bag of Sumerian Blend coffee beans into my garbage disposal. I'll ask what they think I should do about it, and if I can just turn on my disposal or if they think the beans will break my disposal. The second part is that I want to see if I can get their store to replace the fallen beans with no charge.
When we call the store, David answers. I start telling him the story, and I begin without even changing my voice because we hadn't planned on David being the one to answer the phone. He doesn't recognize my voice, but I slowly get more and more Wisconsin, by default. (?) So we didn't think to start taping it until this point, the same point at which I decide to ask him if he personally can come over and get the beans out of my disposal... (here is a short clip from the middle of the conversation)
So my camera cut off, but he did agree to come over and help out a crazy stranger for $50. I guess now I know if I want anything from him there's my price.
