Was Checking in to the Hilton Garden Inn in Monterey on Thursday when the phone rang could not believe the totally over the top way the receptionist answered the phone,quote:'Hi, it's a lovely day here at the Hilton Garden Inn Monterey, my name is ********, I'm happy to help you in any way I can, I'm here for you 100% customer satisfaction so please go ahead and speak to me' and all that in one breath.
Just wondered if anyone else had been greeted in such a way!

Never - and it might just make me forget why I'd called!

Most I expect is something like 'Hello/Good Morning/Good Afternoon/Good Evening (insert company name) (insert name here) speaking, how may I help you?'
