I've done that. It's the "super focus" coming into play, I go in and I've actually gone to the bother of figuring out what to say... and I forget that the staff don't have my script, and might start with something else. And by the time I realise that what I had planned to say was inappropriate, I've already said it, because I was too busy paying attention to saying the right thing.
EDIT: Oh, I should also mention that it wasn't Monday when that happened. :-\

We used to have a server who got particularly ticked off when he'd say "How are you today?" to get "Coke" as an answer. So he started saying, "Really? I'm Coke, too!" Totally made people mad, but we both agree it was worth it.
