Working For The Weekend

Our hotel has a shuttle that runs Monday to Friday from eight to four. A guest comes up to me on a Saturday.

Guest: “Can the shuttle can take me to the stores downtown?”

Me: “The shuttle only runs weekdays, ma’am,”

Guest: *Completely deadpan* “Today is a weekday.”

Me: “No, it’s not. It’s Saturday.”

Guest: “Exactly!”

Me: “So… that’s not a weekday.”

Guest: “But today is a day… in the week!“

I had to explain what weekdays and the weekend were. They didn’t believe me.
