I didn't know where to post this, but I thought I would say I was on the receiving end of an IP-Relay call last year sometime and it wasn't bad. It wasn't a scam either. I was working at a little 2nd rate call center for a major corporation that some may call a monopoly. *cough* Ticketmaster *cough*. (It wasn't a bad job, just that the call center itself was tiny and dirty.) Because I had worked for the Relay I realized the importance of speaking very slowly for the operator. So I spoke slowly, but yet I had to "think on my feet" so to speak to formulate what I was going to say. It felt pretty surreal. The woman who called through the relay did not have very good English. I had to ask several times what type of event and she wanted to attend. After asking two or three times finally she said "clowns go ahead."FinallyI knew she wanted to go see the circus! However there were several circuses going on inher areaat the time she called. Finally I think I gave her the phone number fora local venuedirectlybecause there was a circus going on there. I also referred her to the company website.Has anybody else fielded a relay call outside of working as an RO? How did it go?
