Can you at least give me someone's phone number? Isn't that a little easier?\nReceptionist: Ah, actually it's not that easy. We need the real name here, if you don't have an appointment, I have no way to help connect you.\nMW: That's fine, if you need a real name, I can give you my name.\nReceptionist: You need to give us the name of the person you have an appointment with, tell us you have a call scheduled, and then you can call.\nMW: So how do I schedule an appointment?\nReceptionist: They have their own clients there, or it's... Because this here is our headquarters. How about you give me your number?\nMW: Fine, I'll think about it and call back.",
