This one was told to me by Hubs, but I thought it would be worth telling.
My father-in-law has been truck driving his whole life, and after the first few years, he realized that instead of eating fast food all the time, he could take a crockpot along to make his own meals. Naturally, he still wanted a good, greasy burger from time to time, and this particular time, Hubs was with him. Hubs was about 10 at the time, and out of school for the summer. They were on their way home after a month away (in the car, they had already dropped the truck off), and went through the Booger Fling drive-thru.
FIL (Father-in-law): I'd like [burger].
Cashier: I'm sorry sir, we don't have that right now.
FIL: Well, I'd like [other burger] then.
Cashier: I'm sorry, sir, we don't have that either.
FIL: Okay, I'll have [other other burger] then.
Cashier: Sir, we're out of bread.
FIL blew up at the cashier (he's old and Southern and likes to curse, so you can imagine what that was like), then drove off across the street to the Golden Arches drive-thru.
FIL: Before I order, do you have bread?
Cashier: Yes, sir, we do.
While he didn't need to blow up at the cashier, she probably should have mentioned being out of buns, considering it's a burger place. For some reason, though, the whole story just makes me laugh.
