I had a winner today.
At the restaurant I work at, we sell all soft drinks (i.e. Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper) for 99 cents between 3 and 5 pm. Any size. Any soft drink. This does not include ice cream. At all.
A woman got a little testy with me concerning the exclusion of frosty treats from this offer.
SC: "I'd like to get 4 large chocolate shakes, please."
Me: *rings up order, recites price (around 6 dollars)*
SC: Isn't this your 99 cent drink special right now? It's only 3:20.
Me: Yes, yes it is. But that doesn't include ice cream, only soft drinks.
SC: Aren't shakes soft?
Me:
"Well, yes, shakes are soft, otherwise you wouldn't be able to imbibe them through a straw."
SC: "See?!"
Me: You didn't let me finish. A "soft drink" is a drink that is carbonated. Like Coke, or Mt. Dew.
SC: "Well, that sign is misleading!"
Me: "Ma'am, have you ever heard of a drink that's physically hard?"
SC: "Are you being smart with me?"
Me: "I'm simply trying to do my job. Do you want me to make these shakes, or do you want to cancel out the order and make you some drinks that qualify for our little special?"
SC: ..."Just give me 4 large Cokes..."
