This Is Not Going Smoothie
Customer: “How much is the $1.99 smoothie?”
Me: “Oh, well, after tax, it’s just $2.11.”
Customer: “No, not after tax. Before tax, how much is it?”
Me: “Uh… huh. $1.99?”
Customer: *Shoots me a dirty look.* “I know that. I’m asking you how much is it really?”
Me: “…2.11.”
Customer: “What the h*** is your problem? I’m trying to get a smoothie and you’re giving me attitude. Can’t you hear? Are you f****** stupid or something?”
Me: “No, I’m not. I can only tell you the price of the smoothie.”
Customer: “Stop being… oh… wait did I say smoothie. I meant ice cream cone.”
Me: “That is [other price].”
Customer: “Oh yeah… that’s what I was expecting.”
Me: “…”
Customer: “Whoopsie.”
Me: “…”
Customer: *Sheepish.* “Can I have an ice cream?”
Me: “…”
Customer: “…please?”
I silently get them their ice cream cone. No apologies were given.
