Dial #300 for Harry

It's a post about the phone on the Sleepy's salesman's desk. Our sales guy, who was outstanding by the way, explained that all 400 stores in the chain are owned by one guy, and that the instructions are clear: if there's anything in the store, anything important, that's broken and not fixed within 72 hours (including policies, prices, inventory, whatever), his job is to pick up the phone and dial 300.Isnt it interesting? I bet, Harry almost never has to pick up the phone. After all, who wants to receive a phone call from the boss asking why it took more than 72 hours to fix something.
And Harry Acker, the owner, the billionaire, answers. "This is Harry." And you tell him and he fixes it.
