Power to the people

Customer: "Hi there I'm after a little bit of advice about our server"
Me: "OK"
Customer: "They'll be switching the power off on Sunday should we shut the Server down?"
Me: "Seems like a good idea to me"
Customer: "Do I just press this button in then?"
Me: "No you need to shut it down properly, go to start then shutdown you'll have to fill in the reason why so there is a record in the log"
Customer: "Do you know our password?"
Me: "No I'm afraid not"

After asking internally.

Me: "Its date of births."
Customer: "Hm what's mine? I should know it as its my birthday today"
Me: "Erm 21 01 something?"
Customer: "Oh yeah thanks it says shutting down"

What can I say!

Customer: "I see you have some Windows 7 pro laptops for sale, can you do them any cheaper?"

Me: "I'm sorry, why would Pro mean that? No that is just the operating system, Office will be extra" Customer:  "What? They're not much use without Word."

Me: "Two reasons, one they only sell to Trade and two, why would I tell you that so that you go to them direct?" Customer:  "You're very rude?" Me: "I'm sorry you feel that way, I think we will leave it there. Goodbye."
