I had an early job with an ISP that was similar, had modems in people's garages all over the county since this was when calling local could get expensive. The ISP was in the back of a computer store though. Once an ISP customer came into the store. I was just answering phones in the back room, but they sent me to the floor to talk to the customer. I was wearing sandals, and the sales manager fired me on the spot for being on his floor with sandals. The person who I really reported to tried to hire me back when he found out that sales manager had sent me home and fired me.
