Comment of the day

As you all know I work at Pernod Ricard (previously named V&S Vin & Sprit AB, including The Absolut Company - the vodka), in the reception and conference facility. It's a fancy and modern building with an eight stories high opening in the center and a full glass ceiling, which provides a lot of daylight. We are three working there, Viktoria, Jessica and I, and our boss Susanne, and the three of us work by a rotational schedule, so for instance, week 1 you are responsible for the reception, week 2 for the conference facility and the events, and week 3 you take care of the switchboard and incoming and calls (but also work as a "spider", which means you are a back up for both the reception and conference facility). We meet a lot of people, both employees and all sorts of visitors.

Some more intelligent than others.

Today, Viktoria had a couple of women arriving for a meeting with one of our employees, and when they arrive to the reception they notice a queue in front of the computer where you register for your visitors badge.



- Oh, one of the women exclaims, they have a cash dispenser!

Her friend looks at her and says
- No, that is the computer where you register.

. . .

- Aah. Really. I seriously thought it was a cash dispenser...

Totally made my day! :-D
