    Our local vet cracks me up. They’re great, but when you call them you have to choose from a 5 option menu, ranging from “Press 1 for an emergency” through to “Press 5 for all other enquiries”. It’s nonsense because all calls are answered by Betty on reception anyway lol

      That’s funny. I remember going to the movies with the clan and the place was deserted and the dude who gave us our tickets also served our popcorn then said to us “I’ll be in to pop the movie on soon. Make yourselves at home”.

      Could be a call queuing thing if there’s a wait, emergency gets you straight through the queue

        That’s really the only thing that’d make any sense. Unless the same menu plays after hours and emergency puts you through to someone on call or something?
