Exclamation Yikes

I ran outta coffee! I love the company I buy from. Here was the phone ordering process this morning.

ring, ring.
Them: "Hello, Schapira's."
Me: "Hi. This is Pete Nosko. I need 18lbs of Yrgacheffe beans."
Them: "OK, we'll get that out today."
Me: "Thanks, have a great weekend!"
Them: "Thanks, you too."
click.

Duration: Probably less than 15 seconds. Where else can you find service like this?
