order taker

A derogatory term in the sales world, an order taker is someone who has no real sales ability. They're just going through the motions and don't have the skills to actually sell someone something. The order taker relies on existing accounts that will just reorder when they need something, or they rely on inbound calls to make sales. The worst order takers are the ones who think they're big stuff, but are really just chalking up sales that are really driven by price or high demand, and having nothing to do with the ability of the salesperson.

Steve is just an order taker. He couldn't close a tough sale if his life depended on it.

Pre Order

The newest way of fast food places (especially McDonald's) to try to get you to buy food that you don't want or need. When you get to the drive-thru ordering spot (with the menu and all), they "greet" you with "Hi, would you like to try a nice Cappuccino today?". Of course, you think this is a person that is ready to take your order. Instead, when you're in the middle of saying your order, you get "Welcome to McDonald's, can I take your order?", or "Sorry - can you repeat that?". This is just like going inside and when you reach the counter, the person says that crap to you, and walks away. I find it ridiculous.

Me: *Drives up to the drive-thru*
Speaker: "Hi, would you like to try a nice Cappuccino today?"
Me: Yeah, hi, can I get your #9 3-Piece meal?
Actual Person: Sorry, can you repeat that?
Me: *Hot steam coming from ears* Yeah, can I get your #9 3-Piece meal?
Actual Person: Please drive up.
Me: *Wonders how much cash to pull out* How much is it?
Actual Person: Uh....$6.16.
Me: *Wonders why I'm not greeted nicely, not told the cost of how much I need to pay, or why I never even got thanked for placing my order and doing business with them*

Seriously, this pre ordering crap sucks.

iocaste-order

Iocaste-order is an order where mothers and women and daughters are entitled above fathers and men and sons, and these entitlements are defended by blinded men acting as chivalrous protectors of women against fictitious perils and shortchanges from a fictitious oppression by their fellow men.

The western civilization is proud to have abolished aristocracy, and mocks the Hindu caste-order, while the implementation of the iocaste-order is blindly denied.

Snapchat Order

First name alphabetical order. Organizing a list of people or names alphabetically based on the first letter of the first name like in the popular app "Snapchat".

George Smith: *reading team roster* "This is wrong; my name is before yours on the list."
Adam Jones: "Nah brah it's in snapchat order! "
George Smith: *Checking list again* "Oh. ...It's still wrong..."
