Your Brain Was Momentarily A Potato  

(I work at a fast food place known for serving ice cream and some food. Today has been an off day for me already with many mistakes, but this one takes the cake. I have just walked over to see what my coworker needs made.)

Customer: “What kind of fries do you have?”

Me: *slowly and unsure* “Potato?” *pauses as I realize* “I don’t think I’m understanding the question. I’m sorry.”

Customer: “That’s okay. Like, curly or…?”

(At that point, my coworker answered his question while I walked away trying to fathom my own stupidity. Thankfully, they didn’t seem too bothered by it, but I’m still trying to figure out where my mind was during that.)
