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.

Multiple Personality Order

1. Multiple Personality Order is a common response to the largely conflicting views and ambitions pursued by different groups in the world, related to artistic "disinterestedness".

A condition in which the intelligent individual decides to order his or her mind by creating different personas to better associate with the various Single Personality people in the world.

It is often easier to accomplish by giving the different personalities their own ridiculous names to help in the mental transition.

2. A social order, or club, in which the members have multiple personalities, unlike most orders or clubs where everyone dresses the same way, thinks the same way, says the same boring nonsense and even eats the same snacks when they have their coffee breaks.

These are quite rare.
