Just Shut Up And Watch Your Movie
(A customer walks up to the movie theater concession stand.)
Me: “Hello, how can I help you?”
Customer: “Yes, I’d like a cinnamon pretzel, please.”
Me: “We don’t have any of those prepared right now, so it will be about five minutes. Is that okay?”
Customer: *pointing to the display case of pretzels* “Why can’t I have one of those?”
Me: “Oh, those are just for display. They’re covered in chemicals and have been there for ages.”
Customer: “So they’re not real pretzels?”
Me: “No, they’re real pretzels, just not really edible.”
Customer: “Well, you shouldn’t have them out if people can’t get them.”
Me: “We put the display case out so people can see what they’re like.”
Customer: “I still don’t understand why you have fake pretzels out instead of real ones.”
Me: “Look, even if you could eat those pretzels, look at the case; there’s no way to open it!”
Customer: “Fine. It still seems stupid to have fake pretzels.”
