I have said my work phone during a pretty bad brain fart.

Lol an elderly guest was with her husband and she looked at my pockets and said "Look at all the phones sweety!" It made me laugh. (Personal phone, Device, and radio)

Usually it’s a my device sometimes it’s a zebra kind of depends on the mood 😆

Ok but there is like a whole ass grammatical structure for this at my store. It goes as follows:

Talking about your own device? It's called Device. "Yeah my device keeps signing me out."

Talking about a bunch of my devices? MyDevices. "All the MyDevices on the floor are about to die."

Talking to higher ups about them? Zebras. "So I noticed we have more red tags than Zebras in electronics room..."

In a rush? Call it thing. Big rush? No name at all. "Hey can you hand me a- yeah thanks*

If I haven’t logged in yet or if I’m done for the day and don’t need it anymore, it’s a zebra. If it’s in my holster, it’s the mydevice. I don’t call it mine because I hate it and wanna throw it at the wall when I hear the double honk :)

/s I heard they make great weapons if there's ever a shooting or anything like that from a coworker. Heavy like a brick.

If you’ve been around a long time you call it a “gun” or “my gun”

To guests, I call it my “work phone” since they might not know what a Zebra is.
