I used to work at a bowling center. A group of six got bent out of shape when a group couldn’t bowl a single game for $2.99.
Customer: “But your website says it’s $2.99 per game!”
Me: “It’s $2.99 per person, per game!”
Customer: “That’s misleading!”
Me: “You know what? You’re right! I can’t wait until later tonight when I go to buy one movie ticket and then bring five friends along for free so we can all enjoy the movie, right?”
Customer: *Glares.*
Me: “And oh, happy day! Now I can finally afford to take my family to Disneyland since I only have to pay for one ticket, and—”
Customer: “—Okay, okay! We get it! Shut up!” *Pays.*
