(I just got off work and I am at my cousin’s basketball tournament as her parents are out of town. I am hungry so I go get some food from the concession stand. When I go there is only a cooler full of drinks and a girl about sixteen standing there.)
Me: “Do you guys have any food?”
Girl: “We make it in the back. Everything on the menu!”
Me: “Okay!” * looks at menu* “I will have a pulled pork sandwich, please.”
Girl: “Sorry, we are all out.”
Me: “That’s fine. I’ll take a Brat.”
Girl: “Sorry, we are all out of that, too.”
Me: “Hot dog?”
Girl: “No, sorry.”
Me: “Okay, how about a piece of pizza?”
Girl: “No, sorry.”
Me: “That’s fine, I will just have a [soda] and some popcorn, then.”
Girl: *nods and gets me a [soda] and popcorn*
Me: “Thank you.”
(I start to walk when a another woman comes up and orders.)
Woman: “I will have a pulled pork sandwich.”
Girl: “Yeah, sure!” *goes and brings one out*
Me: “Hey, I thought you didn’t have any!”
Girl: “Oh, I am saving the good food for my home team.”
(Just then, a man walks from the back.)
Man: “No wonder we been so slow! That’s really stupid, [Girl]!” *to me* “Miss, I will get you one now.”
(He gets me my sandwich and comes back.)
Me: “How much?”
Man: “It’s on the house.” *turns to girl* “You are grounded, young lady, and tonight we are going have a talk about how real life works.”
