Answer phone with last name?

Did you ever have a job that, when you were called on the phone, you answered by just saying your last name? Like they do on police and medical TV shows? What was the job?

We didn’t do that in brothels.

No. But I was required to answer with the department name and "(insert first name) speaking."

They used to do that on TV shows about cops and doctors to make them seem "no-nonsense." And butch!

Why do you keep calling me?

My mother and father did that. "[Lastname]s."

I worked at a Frito Lay manufacturing facility one summer during college, in the shipping department. We had to answer the phone “Go for [lastname].” 🙄
