Won’t Speed Up For A Dollar

(My friend and I are standing in the fast food line during lunch. There are two lines, and we are in the one with the cashier who is notorious for being slow.)

Friend: *holding dollar bill in front of cashier*  “Can I get a [Sports Drink]?”

Cashier: “No. You only have $0.25 on your account.”

Friend: “How much is a [Sports Drink]?”

Cashier: “$1.25.”

Friend: “If I give you this dollar, I should have enough.”

Cashier: “No, you won’t.”

Friend: “A dollar plus twenty-five cents is $1.25.”

Cashier: *skeptical* “We’ll just see about that.”

(She accepts the dollar, but doesn’t admit she was wrong. She gave him a bottle of water. At least now we know why that line is so slow.)
