Will Need A Large Drink After This
(A customer places an order in drive-thru. I give them their total and greet them at the window.)
Me: “Hi, your total is [total].”
Customer: “Sorry, can we add a large drink to that?”
(I ring it in and give them their new total.)
Me: “Okay, with the drink your new total is [$3.00 more].”
(She hands me enough money for the original total.)
Me: *counting the money* “Sorry, I just need another $3.”
Customer: “Okay.”
(She doesn’t move, just smiles at me.)
Me: “Sorry, you were $3 short. Your total was [total] and you only gave me [amount].”
Customer: “…”
Me: “…I need another $3.”
Customer: “I’m just trying to figure out why it costs more now.”
