Doesn’t Know One’s (Gas) Station
(A customer comes in and asks to use the phone to call a cab.)
Customer: “Can I get a taxi to the [Wrong Name] on Kingsway.”
Me: “Sir, this isn’t [Wrong Name], That’s down the street. This is [Our Name].”
Customer: “No, it’s not. Are you sure?”
Me: “Well I DO work here, unless I’ve been coming to work at the wrong place. You DID walk past the name about 20 times, but if you don’t believe me, that’s completely fine.”
(20 minutes later, a taxi comes in for fuel.)
Customer: “What took you so long? They said five or ten minutes!”
Taxi Driver: “Nope. No call for here, but there was a call for [Wrong Name] and nobody was there.”
Customer: “…Oh. I guess he was right. Can I still get a ride?”
