Flaky To The 9th Degree
Customer: “Two supremes, please.”
Me: “Okay, and what type of crust?”
Customer: “Oh, that nice one. I had it the other day. It was thin and very yummy.”
Me: “Thin and crispy?”
(The customer starts making hand gestures, pinching her thumb and forefinger together.)
Customer: “It was thin and yummy. We had it the other day.”
Me: “We have a thin crust. Is that it?”
Customer: “That must be it.”
Me: “Okay, that’ll be $23.80.”
Customer: “What? That much?”
Me: “Yes, they’re $11.90 each.”
Customer: “They were only $8 each the other day.”
Me: “Was it a flaky base? We had a promotion for that, but it ended yesterday.”
Customer: “Yes! That was it. But it said it was until the end of the month.”
Me: “The promotion ended yesterday.”
Customer: “But it said until the 31st.”
Me: “I’m sorry. What said that?”
Customer: “The piece of paper.”
Me: “Oh, was it a coupon?”
Customer: “Uh… yes.”
Me: “I can’t give you the discount without the code on the coupon.”
Customer: “Oh. Hang on. Try 54261.”
Me: “No, that didn’t work.”
Customer: “Oh, there was another one. I think it had a 9 in it.”
Me: “I need the whole code.”
Customer: “It had a 9.”
Me: “I can’t do anything without the code.”
Customer: “But it had a 9!”
