[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

   Co-workers at the surplus store I put in part-time say they are
confused sometimes when the operator says that she is a relay
operator and is the person answering the phone ready to receive
information.
   Their complaint is that they are sure the call is a mistake and
usually say that the person must have a wrong number. Sometimes they
have hung up. I have posted fliers from the Relay Service and asked
them if they could send pamphletts to those companies which they
call for clients so persons who answer the phone could be aware of
the service performed and not think it to be a crank call.
