The distributor put her on hold, opened up his stock management system and discovered that they were out of Colombian coffee. Before giving the customer this bad news he checked in his delivery management database and saw that some Colombian coffee was due in the following day. When he told the customer this, the customer explained that was no good, as she really needed some coffee for her café that day.
