Wow. He Actually Did It.

This happened when I was serving tables about ten years ago, and it’s one of my favorite experiences ever as a server. I went to a table of one during lunch.

Me: “Hi, I’m [My Name]; I’ll be your server. Can I get you something to drink to start?”

Customer: “Yeah, can I have a Pepsi?”

Me: “Oh, I’m sorry, but we only have Coke. Is that okay?”

Customer: “Nope.”

And then he stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

I wish I was as sure about anything in my life as he was about wanting a Pepsi with his lunch.
