Special Orders Don't Upset Us
Overheard at a local coffee shop: a demanding patron and a less than bubbly and bright counterperson try to have an exchange about an order that goes out of order.
A speeded-up woman, obviously not needing much more coffee, tries to ask for a smaller version of her usual drink. The woman behind the counter is not quite awake yet.
"Uh, so, your order is... a grande Iced Chai?"
"Yeah. OH, I usually get a venti with five pumps!"

"A venti has six pumps!"
"And I get five!"

"But there's six."
"And I'm telling you ... I only get five."
"So you want five?"
"No, I want less."
"How many?
"How many are in the grande?"
"Four pumps."
"Okay."
"So you want four?"
"No, I want less."
"Three?"
"That's fine. Three."
"Do you want anything with that?"
"A blueberry muffin."
"Do you want the whole muffin?"
