Goodness! That brought back something from my childhood! I don't think I've heard paging chimes in 20 years. Do they still have them? I thought they vanished not long after metal department store charge plates...

BTW - have you ever noticed that when a message is announced on the store's p.a. system that if it's for an employee it's clear as a bell but if it's for a customer you can't understand but one or two words?
"CSM to the shoe department for a fat lady who insists her size 10's are really 8's."
