Long long ago, in a country apparently far far away, the most common meaning was "Post Office". Do you remember those?

In another thread folks are referencing PO what is that acronym? Checked TER FAQ and google. No bueno.
Phone Operator or Booker. Determines if pre-book is allowed or not. Usually have to confirm appointment by 9 am or no soup for you.
Although Rocketbro likes to schedule on the fly and somehow gets away with it when the rule by many POs is confirm by 9 am or no soup for you.
So YMMV
So another term for booker/scheduler. I suppose in some context it might be police officer but hope that was not the case.
In the hobby I always interpreted it as Provider Office. Especially since they do so much more than answer the phone. A good PO can make or break your experience.
NorCal PO = SoCal booker.
What about other regions, are there other terms used?
then the term often becomes, "Shithead."
Booker, mama-san (which is really incorrect since they are all Korean owned).
I just was reading a thread where it said booker and also intermixed in was PO, so it was hella confusing.
Washington DC area Booker or old school is mama-san.
PO is phone operator, yes.
Outside of hobby, most common meaning is probation/parole officer. I've never heard of police officers referred to as POs, but it might be a thing too.

Good point, lol. I forgot about that.
This has come up before:

PO is used for too many other things, even as a common abbreviation for Parole Officer ... not that I would know anything about that.
.
A "phone operator" is not a booker! A phone operator sits at a switchboard and, using wires, connects your call to the party to whom you are speaking. If the line is busy, she might take a message ... using a pencil and a pink message pad. Sheesh.
.
Just say booker. Just say phone girl or PG. And even when it's a guy who does the booking, it's still "the phone girl told me about someone new ..."
.
PO is not clear even when you think the meaning should be obvious. JUST SAY BOOKER! (Do I need a hashtag for that?)
Imp, I will disagree here. Your version of phone operator was true maybe in POTS times.
In times of virtual circuits, sip servers and digital telephony, a PO is the person who takes phone calls or texts. It's ingrained in bay area slang for years too. I won't get this one dude who thought he was a hot shot because he was an aamp PO on night_shift.
Phone girl sounds like phone sex, lol.
the FIRST thought that came to your mind was something other than Parole Officer? LOL
The winds of change are upon us. Bend like bamboo or break like the mighty Oak in the winds of change.
OP, I agree with Rocketbro that to us Bay Area mongers, a monger must pass the gate, in order to access Wonderland. The gate is guarded (or with some orgs unguarded by PO). That being said, I can be flexible and start using Booker, but for those that don't know I'm an Easy Bay monger, they might think I'm a SoCal monger.
It's good to be flexible.
YMMV
In the modern day of PC terms we should not even use booker.
The correct term is Ultimate Satisfaction Coordinator (USC).
EC = Ejaculation Coordinator? (Which would make the girl an ET = Ejaculation Technician)
USC means Trojan. Which makes sense with "bookers" on many levels, if you think about it
I had notices the USC connection but not a huge sports fan so missed that link.
I'm a big sports fan, so youll hear a lot of sports puns... mostly bad ones... from me, lol.
But let's not forget, Trojans always fail under pressure.
I am of course talking about the 2006 Rose Bowl where Vince Young put the Longhorns squarely on his back and came back to win that game after being down early as underdogs winning me ten grand in the process. Even better I was on a ten day vacation in Costa Rica at the time where I set a personal record of doing 40 different chicas during that ten day period.
I spent right about the same ten grand on the trip so I guess you could say the Trojans paid for my trip by losing. lol
An epic Trojan fail!
I think the line was USC -7 1/2, I didn't take the points, I took the +260 and parlayed it with the over and at half time I doubled down and did it again for the second half. It was one of the most enjoyable games I have ever watched, not to mention the fact I watched it at the Blue Marlin Bar in San Jose Costa Rica surrounded with maybe a dozen or two other gringos along with maybe 200 hot Colombian, Nicaraguan and Tica putas. Ah, those were the days.
As they say, your username checks out
I do miss those "good old days" at the Hotel Del Rey in Costa Rica, back in '05-'06 even the hottest of the hot chicas down there only charged about $40 for an hour or so, and you could get TLN (Toda la Noche) for about $100, and the place was constantly PACKED with pussy, usually anywhere from 5-1 at worst up to more like 10-1 chicas to hombres, it was like living the life of a rock star and I was still young enough to fuck several girls a day, every day for a week or more at a time. My poor old body just can't do that anymore today, especially not doing it while drinking 20 hours a day on top of all the fucking. Ah to be young again, or even "middle aged" lol
