Today for lunch I went to the local DQ. The gentleman who waited on me asked what I wanted and I said "large chocolate shake." He made it, or so I thought. When he rang me up, he overcharged me by 75 cents. Since I buy them regularly I'd asked, and he said "its for the malt." I said "What malt? I ordered a large chocolate shake." He put the drink aside and began to make me what I'd wanted. I told him "didn't mean to be a pain in the ass but just wanted what I'd ordered. Sorry." And it was left at that.

It amazes me how many people don't know the difference between a shake and a malt--though usually it seems to go the other way around. I ask for malts, and frequently get shakes. Which is sad, because malts are DELICIOUS.
And no, you weren't sucky. Sucky would've been insisting that you get free shakes for life, or $40 for pain and suffering, or something. Asking that they get the order right while in store, in a polite fashion = not even a little sucky."Eventually, everything that you have said becomes everything you will ever say." Eireann

I also vote Not Sucky. Being not confrontational, I'd have taken the malt, but let them know that wasn't what I ordered, just so they would not make the same mistake twice. 75 cents isn't that big of a deal, but to some people on a tight budget, it could be. Asking for what you actually ordered and getting it at the price you expected to spend : not sucky."I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
