Receptionist: "Good afternoon, Customer Services, Rachel speaking."

Caller: "I've been trying to get through for half an hour! This is ridiculous!"

Caller: "I need to speak to someone about my order — right now!"

Receptionist: "Of course. May I take a few details, and I'll transfer you to the appropriate department immediately?"

Caller: "It's just... it's not turning on properly, and I don't know what to do."

Receptionist: "I completely understand. Could I take your name and your department, please?"
