TAB (He’s baaaack!)
Welcome to another Episode of Tarvel Argent Beer! *ahem* *thwap* Traaavel Aaagent Bear!
So… yet another busy day in the life of your friendly *snort* Tarvel Argent Beer! *canned applause* I’ve had a lot of doozie phone calls but this one really took the cake. This here lady called up and asked about a ‘tawar package’ and quite obviously those who do speak or understand Bahasa Malaysia are laughing their asses off while trying to not fall off the chairs. After much finagling and mangling of the words, we finally managed to figure out she wanted information on the TOUR packages being currently advertised in the papers and that she was from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma, which is somewhat northwest of Thailand which is well… North of where Malaysia is… So, to cut a long story short, she’s in Malaysia on a ‘Social Visit Pass’ (which I think is wanted a trip to London, England and I can’t give it to her without her going to the Embassy of Myanmar and checking with them first about a visa to the UK.
But wait… theres…. MORE!!!
Time Travel
Pax called up, asking for ticket to go in November and come back in September. Asked if 1-year ticket, pax said no, 1-MONTH. *TAB thinks that time travel is still theoretical and doubts that its feasible or ever will be*
Idiot Pax
Fielded a call from an irate passenger. Dig through the confusion, pax didn’t want to pay the airport taxes (these are collected by the airline, you wanna bitch about it, blame the current Bushy US Prez among other people), expects us (the travel agency) to field the taxes… Riiiiight… Kiss it. fool. Keeps calling and bitching that he can’t afford the price, (then stop calling and bitching, we’re not backing down on this). Calls up identifying self by last name only (like you’re the only one with that last name in our list, doofus… Last I checked we had 28 people with that name in our booking list, which one are you? Oh wait, you didn’t want to pay, guess you’re not ON the list then)
Idiot Pax (follow up)
Dumbass Passenger (DP) called up again, asking for ‘Tuna’ (btw, my colleague’s name is DANA, I seriously doubt she’s a fish or even part fish, last I checked she had two legs and feet and not a fishtail) then another one calls up totally changing her first name AND last name. Some idiots…
And now, TAB apologizes for the late posts as nothing has been happening except a lot of work-related stress due to MATTA Fair coming on Sep 7-9 in PWTC. (Come check us out at Hall 2, Booth numbers 2048-2051) *sings Welcome to Kenya* (darn you, SIL!!!:)
*cues theme to Travel Aaaagent Bear!!!*
I’ma outta here!
