Trust fund baby
A caller asked how we accept payment. I told him.
Caller: "Oh, I don't have those things. I have a trust fund."
Me: "OK, well, those methods that I mentioned are the ones that we accept."
Caller: "But I have a trust fund."
Me: "Right."
Caller: "So you don't take cashier's cheques?"
Me: "No, I'm afraid not. The methods that I listed for you are the methods of payment that we accept."
Customer: "Oh. See, I have a trust fund, and even though it's my money, the trustee won't let me at it, even though I'm 40 years old.
What am I supposed to say to that? I decided to use my stock non-committal space filler.
Me: "OK."
