An Abundance Of Nuttiness, Part 3

New York, Restaurant, USA | Right | April 15, 2011

(At the register where I work, we try to push sales of cookies. We have only two kinds of cookies: walnuts and without walnuts.)

Customer: “I think I will take a chocolate chip cookie without walnuts. It should be cheaper since it has no nuts, right? Because it’s lighter, I feel I should get a discount.”

Me: “Actually, sir, the plain chocolate chip cookies are the same weight as the cookies with the walnuts. It’s because we add extra chocolate chips to balance it out.”

Customer: *pause* “Dang, you’re good at this.”
