Can’t Keep A Lid On How Crazy That Is

(I work at a movie theater that has annual popcorn buckets. You buy the bucket for $25 dollars at the beginning of the year and fill it up for $5 each time you come back. We also sell lids for these buckets separately for $1.50. Yes, I know that’s ridiculous. This happens to be the cheapest thing on our menu, and this is what happens weekly.)

Customer: “I want a bucket lid.”

(I grab a lid and hand it to them.)

Customer: “No, I want the popcorn that comes with the bucket lid.”
