    But who would know!!

    I have five stories for you tonight, since that's all I can remember. Again, background: working late night answering phones at a pizza place:

    What kind of discount can you give me?

    me: Thank you for calling, can I help you?
    customer: Yeah, what kind of discount can I get?
    me: Um, I really can't give you any discounts.
    customer: Yeah, but what kind of discount can you give me?
    me: I can't give you any.
    customer: But I work there! What kind of discount can you give me!
    me: We don't get discounts.
    customer: I know, but what kind of discount can you give me?
    me: I really can't give you a discount. I have to answer the next line now.
    me: **answers next line**

    Note: Our "discount" is that we get to make and take home a pizza at the end of our shift.

    Keep you job then.

    me: Total is $17.86.
    customer: Can you make that $15.00?
    me: I really can't do that.
    customer: But you're my friend!!
    me: **I don't know this person** I really need to keep my job.
    customer: Ok, keep your job then.

    You should've asked one more time, or the Return of the Doctor-Lover

    me: And what would you like to drink?
    customer: Dr Pepper.
    me: I'm sorry, we only have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew & Sierra Mist.
    customer: Oh, I'll have Dr Pepper then.
    me: I'm sorry, we still only have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew & Sierra Mist.
    customer: Pepsi then.

    customer: I would like to pay with credit card.
    me: Ok, what's the number?
    customer: Um, 8... T.
    me: ??
    customer: Oh wait! I have the card upside down!

    But who would know!!

    customer: I'd like to pay with my student id.
    me: Ok.
    customer: I'd like to put a tip on it.
    me: I'm sorry, but the college won't let us put a tip on it.
    customer: Can't you just charge me extra?
    me: Um, no.
    customer: But who would know!!

    So I explained to him who would know.
    To err is human, to blame someone else shows good management skills.

    Sorry, only *competitor* gives out discounts.

    At least they won't be your problem anymore.

      I had this guy's father or uncle or something a few years ago at the brew pub.

      I'm at a table taking drink orders, and this one guy doesn't seem to understand the concept of a brew pub.

      HIM: "I'll take a Coors Light."
      ME: "I'm sorry, sir. We're a brewpub, and we only have the beers we make here on premises."
      HIM: "Oh, okay. In that case, I'll have a Miller Lite."
      ME:
      HIS FRIENDS:
      HIM: "What?"

        I have a similar story, Jester, but I was the unwise twit.

        My girlfriend at the time and I went to dinner with some of our friends. We went to a place that I'd never been to, called the SBC. Only after I attempted to order a Guinness with dinner was I aware of the fact that SBC stood for Stonebridge Brewing Company. The waiter was kind in his informing me of that, and instead I had one of the best microbrewed stouts I've ever had.

          Then there's the time my dad and someone else from the Engineering Society are out with sales reps from Molson. The other guy orders a Blue. Not only did he do something that stupid, he was oblivious to the line my dad tried to throw him. (Molson had the stock ale, "the original blue", so my dad tried to save the guy with "I don't think they have stock ale here".)

            Some people are just plain cheap. People used to try to haggle with me at Wal-Mart. I'd inform them it wasn't a flea market or country fair.
