Why Did He Think This Would Work?
Cashier: “Hello, welcome to [Restaurant]. What can I get for you?”
Customer: “I want fries.”
Cashier: “Okay. What size?”
Customer: “Fries.”
Cashier: “We have small, medium, and large fries.”
Customer: “Yeah, that one.”
Cashier: *Short pause* “The large?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Cashier: “Okay, anything else?”
Customer: “No.”
Cashier: “Okay, that will be [Price].”
Customer: “No.”
Cashier: *Another pause* “Our large fries cost [price], with tax. If you want, our medium fries are [lower price], instead.”
Customer: “No.”
Cashier: “Well, I’m sorry, but that is what it costs.”
The customer speaks in a tone like he is talking to a small child.
Customer: “I want fries, buuut I don’t want to pay for them.”
Cashier: “But you do have to pay for them if you want to get them here.”
Customer: *In a smug tone* “No.”
Cashier: “All right, then.”
The cashier presses something on the register.
Cashier: “Please step aside so I can take the orders of people who are actually willing to pay.”
The man stepped aside, I guess thinking that the cashier had put through his order. However, after a few more orders, including mine, had been processed and delivered, it apparently became obvious to him that he wasn’t getting the fries he’d demanded, and he ended up stomping out.
