Placebo Me, Part 5
(I work as a cocktail waitress and this happenes to be on a rather busy night. The customer has only taken one sip of their beer before handing it back to me.)
Customer: “This beer is hot! Go get me one that’s cold. I can’t believe you are serving warm beer!”
Me: “Sir, that beer has been on ice for an hour or two. It still has ice crystals on it. Are you sure it’s warm?”
Customer: “I can’t believe you think I’m lying!”
(I apologize and take the beer back to the bar and refill my tray, never switching out said beer because it’s ice cold. I return to the customer and give him the same beer back.)
Me: “Here you go! Sorry about that. I hope this one is colder.”
(The customer takes the drink and tries it.)
Customer: “This is much better! I hope you don’t have any more of those other beers back there. You should put all those in the back of the cooler!”
