Soft Drink, Hard Sell

Me: “Just a soda, thanks.”

Cashier: “$2.50.”

Me: “The sign outside says sodas are on special for a dollar.”

Cashier: “Oh, you have to tell me that you want the dollar drink.”

Me: “Oh, that’s weird.”

Cashier: “No, it’s not.”

Me: “Okay… well, I’d like the soda.”

Cashier: “$2.50—”

Me: “—dollar soda! I would like the dollar soda!”

Cashier: “Okay! Jeez, don’t sound so desperate.”
