[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 185691, member: 47"] A guy came into my office a few weeks ago with the new telephone directory, handed it to me then asked for my business card for proof he was here and gave me the directory. I can't even remember the last time I looked in the phone book for a number, I always look on line. I told him I would give him a card ONLY if he took the phone book back. He wouldn't, and I wouldn't... so had to take the darn thing home and put it in the recycling bin. We have about 8 different companies making phone directories and they update them a few times a year...how many trees is that?? I get so irritated by people comming in trying to sell me something, and then wanting a business card as proof they were here..mmmm.....no. Had I asked you to come in and give me your spiel, I would have given you a card, but I don't hand them out to off the street solicitors. One girl stood there with two others I think she was training, and started to argue with me about my stupid business card. I told her, you know what, give me yours and I will give you mine. And I am also going to call your boss and relay the fact there is a big "NO SOLICITORS" sign in my window. They all left in a huff.. Its a 1.50 charge here to use 411 on your cell as well - the only good thing about it is that they will upload the number you are looking for to your cell, but still, its not worth that much money.
