The (ever)Last(ing) Supper
(I work as a cook at a pizza place. A tall and thin customer comes in and begins to place an order with the cashier.)
Customer: “Yeah, I want the large pepperoni.”
Cashier: “For here?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Cashier: “Would you like anything with that?”
Customer: “Yeah, let me have the spaghetti dinner.”
Cashier: “Oh, did you want that instead of the pizza?”
Customer: “Naw, I want the pizza too. Can I get extra garlic bread?”
Cashier: “Um, sure.”
Customer: “Sweet. Can I also get one of them open-faced sandwiches? The roast beef and cheese… and can you add some sausage to the sandwich too?
Cashier: “Yeah…”
Customer: “…and a salad. What kind of salad do you have?”
Cashier: “Well, we have a small side salad, or a larger dinner salad…”
Customer: “Well…”
Me: *speaking over the counter* “We also have the antipasto salad! It’s pretty big!”
Customer: “Yeah! I want that!”
Cashier: “Um… is there anything else?”
Customer: *looks around, and sees the bags of potato chips on display* “Yeah, those look good. Give me two bags of chips!”
Cashier: “Okay… is there anything else?”
Customer: “Naw, I think that’s it.”
Cashier: “Do you need us to box up any of this to go?”
Customer: “Naw.”
Cashier: “Will you have anything to drink with this?”
Customer: “Oh yeah, I totally forgot! I’ll have a small Coke!”
(When we finally brought the food out to the customer, it was a LOT of food. Surprisingly, the customer stayed in the restaurant for over four hours, and he ate almost everything!)
