Not Short, And Not Sweet
(I’m trying to get something at an ice cream truck. Note: nothing is indicated as to prices or availability.)
Worker: “What would you like? We have the ice creams listed on the side of the truck.”
Me: “Can I get a freeze pop?”
Worker: “No freeze pops.”
Me: “Oh. Can I get a fruit bar?”
Worker: “No fruit bars.”
Me: “Okay… What about a drumstick?”
Worker: “All out.”
Me: “Toffee bars?”
Worker: “Nope.”
Me: “Cookie bars?”
Worker: “No.”
Me: “Do you have ANY brand-name ice cream?”
Worker: “No.”
Me: “…Okay. Then, I’ll have a dipped cone.”
Worker: “Out of dip.”
Me: “Then I’ll have a plain soft-serve.”
Worker: “No soft-serve.”
Me: “Do you have ANY ice cream at all?”
Worker: “We have number three, normal scoop in a cone.”
Me: “What flavors?”
Worker: “Chocolate.”
Me: “What else?”
Worker: “Chocolate.”
Me: “You couldn’t tell me you were out of everything but one type of ice cream in the beginning?”
Worker: “That’s not my job.”
(I ended up buying the chocolate scoop. Funny how someone so sour could sell something so sweet.)
