Doesn’t Have A Nice Ring To It
(I’m working a normal day in a restaurant, and everything is going fairly well until this happens. A customer approaches me at the front counter.)
Customer: “Hi, excuse me. How many onion rings do you get in one order?”
Me: *thinking* “Uh, should be five. Did you not get that many?”
Customer: “No, I did, I was just thinking, is that all you get?”
Me: “Um…Yes? Were they really tiny?” *gestures a one inch diameter circle*
Customer: “No, they were all this big.” *gestures a large three inch diameter*
(Usually we do not give out even three onion rings of this size, so this lady has had a fairly generous order.)
Me: “Yeah, that sounds about right.”
Customer: “That’s really all you get? For two dollars? You only get five onion rings?!”
Me: *dumbfounded* “Yeaaaaahhh.”
(I am so confused; usually people like our onion rings because of the different breading and because they are so large.)
Customer: “Well, then. We’ll never come here again.”
Me: “Okay? Have a nice day!”
