I am English and drink hot tea as opposed to coffee. My husband and I visited a fast food restaurant in America, and I asked a waitress if they had any hot tea.
* Me: "Do you have hot tea?"
* Her: "Well, it is not very warm...but.. .."
* Me: "No I mean do you have hot water and a tea bag?"
* Her: "Yes."
* Me: "So you can make me hot tea."
* Her: "Well I can put a cup of iced tea in the microwave for you."
* Me: "No, just give me a cup of hot water and a tea bag, and I will make my own."
* Her: "Do you want ice in the cup?"
Once when I went to McDonald's, I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
"We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter.
"You don't?" I replied.
"We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply.
"So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?"
"That's right."
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
I used to work at an Arby's. In the two years I worked there, the dumbest customer by far has been one that apparently never succeeded at first grade math.
* Me: "That will be $12.69, please."
* Him: "Ok. Here you go."
He handed me a $10 bill. Thinking that this was just a mistake, that maybe he meant to give me a $20, I said:
* Me: "This is a $10 bill."
* Him: "Yeah, I know."
* Me: "The total is $12.69."
* Him: "I gave you a 10. That's enough."
* Me: "I need $2.69 more. The total is $12.69."
* Him: (annoyed) "It's all there! I gave you a 10!"
* Me: "No. I need $2.69 more."
* Him: "I gave you a 10!"
* Me: "I know. The total is $12.69! I need another $2.69!"
This situation kept on going for a good four or five minutes, when something really wrong happened. I just had him on the verge of giving me a $50 bill, when a manager changed the price to make it less than $10. After I told the customer that, he said:
* Him: "Darn kids don't know how to do math these days."
I suppose the moral of the story is act dumb, even if you aren't, and rewards will follow.
* Me: "I'd like a small coffee shake and nothing else."
* Clerk: "Anything else?"
* Me: "Uh...a cup?"
I had a craving for french fries one day, so I pulled up to the drive-thru of McDonald's.
* Me: "I'd like a large french fries please."
* Clerk: "Would you like fries with that?"
I got sort of confused at this one and told him no. He told me to pull ahead, so I did, and then he asked me why I was sitting there.
* Clerk: "I thought you didn't want fries."
* Me: "No, I ordered a large french fries."
* Clerk: "Ok. Do you want fries with that?"
Since saying no the last time had gotten me nothing, I figured I'd better say yes this time. He gave me two large fries.
