Employee: “Welcome to [restaurant]. How may I help you?”

Customer: “I need a hamburger kids’ meal. Also, could you put cheese on that?”

Employee: “Okay, so you want a cheeseburger kids’ meal?”

Customer: “No, just a hamburger with cheese on it.”

Employee: “Ma’am, if you put cheese on a hamburger, it becomes a cheeseburger. So, do you want a hamburger or a cheeseburger?”

Customer: “Well, then, I guess I want a cheeseburger.”

Employee: “Okay, and is this kids’ meal for a boy or a girl?”

Customer: “Does it matter?”

Employee: “Not to me, ma’am.”

Customer: “Yes, but I haven’t used it. It’s expired.”

Me: “The expiration date is yesterday. It was well in date when you bought it.”

Customer: “Yes, but I didn’t use it, so you have to give me a refund.”

Me: “I’m afraid we can’t give a refund for that. It was within date when you bought it.”

Customer: “Well, can’t you change it, at least?”

Me: “You want to swap some expired milk for fresh milk?”

Customer: “No, just change the label so it’s in date again.”
