Something’s Fishy With This Pensioner
(I work at a fish and chips shop, and our special includes a pensioners’ fish and chips at a cheap price. A customer walks in.)
Customer: “I’m a pensioner, and I want one of your pensioners’ calamari and chips, please.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, the pensioners’ special only offers fish and chips, no calamari.”
(The customer goes on a rant saying he always comes here and always orders the calamari special. I show him on the menu a 1/4 calamari and chips for the same price.)
Me: “Is this the one you are looking for?”
Customer: “No! It’s the one with the calamari, fish and chips special!”
(My coworker and I are slightly confused, so I ask my coworker to handle him because I am getting irritated. My coworker sits him down gives him a menu. After a while, after I finish with another customer at the till, my coworker walks towards me rolling her eyes.)
Me: “What did he order?”
Coworker: “The same d*** thing that you showed him on the menu.”
Me: “The 1/4 calamari with chips?”
Coworker: “Yes, that one.”
(We both shook our heads.)
