Creating Your Own Problems
(It’s very busy at our restaurant due to a one-day deal. I’ve been either the only one or one of two people on till, and we are just finishing up with the post dinner rush.)
Customer: “Hi, I was wondering what goes on the create-your-own pizza?”
Me: “You get to choose your own toppings.”
Customer: “No, I know, but what goes on it?”
Me: “Well, it has sauce and cheese, and then you get to pick what else you want on it.”
Customer: “Okay. But what—”
Customer’s Daughter: “Mom, never mind; I don’t want the pizza.”
Customer: “No, you do. We’ll get one with chicken, bacon, and olives.”
(They later demanded a refund because they wanted pasta, not a pizza.)
