Welcome to People’s Pizza, Comrade
Old man: “Well, I’d like three slices, all meat, and a Coke.”
Me: “Is Pepsi okay? We don’t serve Coke anymore.”
Old man: “WHAT?! YOU DON’T SERVE COKE? ANYMORE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?”
Me: “Well, we used to sell both brands. It was just far too expensive to keep both stocked when most people aren’t devastated by not having Coke.”
Old man: “THAT’S ABSURD! WHO DOESN’T SELL COKE?! THAT’S INSANITY!”
Me: (I’m now egging him on and holding back laughter) “Well… you can go next door. The convenience store probably sells Coke, but I can’t guarantee it.”
Old man: “That’s what I’ll do! You won’t get my $0.75!”
Me: “Umm… okay. I’ll have your pizza in just a minute.”
His Wife: “Don’t mind him. He’s crazy.”
Old Man: “Shut it! What kind of a day and age is it when you don’t sell Coke? It’s just plain un-American.”
Me: “You know, Coke cans are red… like communism. ”
