To Whom This May (Not) Concern, Part 3

(There are at least ten people in the restaurant. I am the only person manning front counter, so when I finish bagging each order, I call out what I’m holding so the customer can come pick it up.)

Me: “Cheeseburger combo. Cheeseburger combo!”

Customer: *raises his hand*

Me: “Cheeseburger combo?”

Customer: *takes bag*

(I continue taking orders and bagging them as they come up. Two minutes later, the customer that took the cheeseburger combo comes back.)

Customer: “Hey, this is a cheeseburger combo. I ordered a chicken burger!”

(I take the cheeseburger combo back from him and continue bagging orders. About a minute later, he has his chicken burger.)

Me: *gives him his chicken burger*

Customer: *gives me a condescending look and stomps off*
