    Last time you called in your play?

    No one uses the 1-800 number anymore with internet and smart phones. I loved talking to the tellers on the other end. Makes you feel like you are a big timer and doing something bad.

    Teller: "Sports"
    Caller: "account number"
    Teller: "password"
    Caller: "password"
    Teller: " how can I help you" in some foreign accent
    Caller: " what do you got for the late night yankee game." Drunk slur
    Teller: " game is off the board"
    Caller: " what the fck are you talking about, first pitch hasn't been thrown."
    Teller: " let me ask....... Yankees -180"
    Caller: "give me Yankees for $500"

    2015 - was at a bar to watch mayweather/pacquio. Wanted to put a free play on the spurs but had shitty network connectivity in the bar. I called BM and they were happy to help. Almost always had good customer service with BM.
