My spouse and I went through the Burger Barn drive-thru, and I handed the cashier a $10 bill.
Our total was $8.75, so I added a quarter.
She looked puzzled and said, “You gave me too much.”
I explained, “Yes, but this way you can just give me $2 back.”
She sighed and fetched the manager, who asked me to repeat the request.
I did, and he handed the quarter back, saying, “Sorry, we don’t handle it like that.”
The cashier then gave me $1.25 in change.
Moral: Don’t try to confuse Burger Barn.
Our garage door broke, so we called a repairman. He said the issue was the motor size.
I told him we had the largest model when we bought it—a 1/2 horsepower motor.
He shook his head and said, “You need a 1/4 horsepower motor.”
I replied, “But 1/2 is more than 1/4.”
He countered, “Nope. Four is larger than two.”
We’ve never called him again.
Living in a semi-rural area, we recently got a new neighbor who called city services, asking to move the *Deer Crossing* sign down the road.
Her reason? “Too many deer are being hit by cars here. This isn’t a good spot for them to cross.”
Food Service Story
My daughter went to a Tex-Mex place and ordered a taco.
She politely asked for “minimal lettuce.”
The employee apologized and said, “We only have iceberg.”
At the airport, while checking in, an attendant asked, “Has anyone put anything in your bag without your knowledge?”
I replied, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?”
He nodded and said, “That’s why we ask.”
The crosswalk near my office beeps when it’s safe to cross.
An acquaintance asked, “Do you know what the beeping is for?”
I explained, “It helps visually impaired people know when it’s safe to cross.”
She responded, “But why would blind people be driving?”
She’s a government employee…
When we picked up our car from the dealership after a service, we were told the keys were locked inside.
In the service department, we saw a mechanic working intensely on the driver’s side lock.
Watching from the passenger side, I tried the door and found it was already open.
“Hey!” I said, “It’s unlocked over here!”
The mechanic replied, “Yeah, I got that side already.”
Stay alert. They walk among us, and they multiply!
