The hostess with the mostess

In honor of April's birthday, Brad and I are taking her and Reece (the boys have baseball practice) to our favorite restaurant, PFChangs! I just called to make the reservation (because they are ALWAYS packed out!) and here is the conversation I had with the hostess:

H: Hello! Thank you for calling PFChangs! How are you today?
Me: I'm fine. I need to place a reservation for tomorrow night.
H: Ok. How many and what time?
Me: Four people for 6pm, if that's available.
H: Certainly. And your name?
Me: Allison McMichael.
H: Allison Michael?
Me: No, Allison MCMichael.
H: Ohhh, ok Mrs. McMichael, I have a reservation for four people at 4pm tomorrow night, April the 2nd.
Me: Umm, no. I needed 6pm....and today is April the 2nd. I need the reservation for tomorrow, the 3rd.
H: What's that? I can hardly hear you. Let me turn up the volume. (TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP) Are you still there?
Me: Yes.
H: Ok, so you need reservations for four people at 6pm tomorrow night, April the 2nd.
Me: NO. TODAY is April 2nd, I need the reservation for TOMORROW the 3rd.
H: Oh is today the 3rd? Let me look at my calendar.............long pause..................Oh I'm sorry, let me just white this out.......long pause........ok, let's start over. Seriously? Did she just say start over?? Ok, so you need a reservation for tomorrow, the 3rd, for four people and 6pm. Right Mrs. McDaniel?
Me: Growing extremely irritated, NOOOOOOOOO. Mrs. McMichael, not McDaniel.
H: My apologies Mrs. McMichael. And your phone number?
Me: 205-555-5555
H: That's 205-555-5557. Got it.
Me: Sigh.......No. It's 205-555-5555.
H: Oh ok. Your confirmation number is 3276. See you tomorrow!
Me: I hope so!
