Will Never Be As Thick As The Customer
Customer: “I’d like some ham, and I want it exactly this thick.”
He holds his thumb and index finger half an inch apart. I slice him a piece of ham that’s half an inch thick and hold it up to show him.
Me: “Is that okay?”
Customer: “What the h***?! Why is it so thick?! I wanted it paper-thin!”
Me: “You held your fingers half an inch apart and said that was the thickness you wanted, sir.”
Customer: “You knew what I meant!”
Me: “You wanted me to assume that when you said, ‘exactly this thick,’ you meant something else?”
Customer: “You knew what I meant!“
He stormed away without taking his order and left me standing there holding a super thick chunk of ham.
