Size Matters, Part 6

(A lady and her daughter walk in.)

Me: “Hi, how may I help you?”

Daughter: “Can I have the waffle cone with a scoop of coconut ice cream?”

Me: “Yeah, sure. Here you go.” *hands over ice cream*

Customer: “What sizes do you have for snow cones?”

Me: “I have a $2 cup and a $2.50 cup.” *shows her sizes*

Customer: “Do you have a $1.50 cup?”

Me: “No, I have $2 and $2.50.”

Customer: “Okay, I’ll have one exactly like my daughter’s.”

Me: “A $2 coconut waffle cone?”

Customer: “No, I want it in a cup… and make it strawberry.”

Me: “So, not exactly like hers.”

Customer: “No, I guess not. Wait… never mind. I’ll have a small snow cone.”

Me: “Okay, what flavor?”

Customer: “I’ll have the strawberry.”

Me: “Okay. There you go.” *hands over the small strawberry snow cone*

Customer: “Oh, you made it small? When I said small, I meant big! I thought you would understand.”

Me: “No. You said small, so I gave you small.”

Customer: “Well, I wanted the large one, but it’s okay. It was your mistake.”
