Democracy Makes No Concessions

I work in the concessions stand at a movie theater. A group of three girls comes up to my register. Ironically, the one ordering is clearly the least decisive one of the group.

Me: “Hey, what can I get for ya?”

Girl #1: “Can I have a thing of pretzel sticks?”

Me: “Yup! Would you like to add a cup of cheese for a dollar?”

Girl #1: *To her companions* “Should I get cheese?”

Girl #2: *Already a little exasperated* “Do you want cheese?”

Girl #1: *To me* “No cheese.”

Me: “All right. Anything else?”

Girl #1: *To her companions* “Should I get a water?”

Girl #3: *Also fed up* “Do you want a water?”

Girl #1: *To me* “And a water.”

At least she paid without taking a vote to see if she should use cash or credit!
