My trip to Dairy Queen today
Provided without extra narrative for your enjoyment.
Her: Welcome to Dairy Queen!
Me: Hello. I'd like a small twist cone, a small dipped cone and two medium twist cones.
Her: [long pause] Ok, I have two medium cones and a small dipped cone.
Me: No, two small cones one dipped and one twist.
Her: Ok, so two small dipped cones.
Me: No... one... dipped... and... one... twist. Also the two medium ones.
Her: [pause] [laugh] I'm sorry I had to switch registers. [pause] So that's two medium cones and one small dipped cone, right?
Me: The two medium cones are twist. Chocolate and vanilla twist.
Her: And a small dipped cone. Or was there two?
Me: One dipped and one twist. Vanilla and chocolate twist.
Her: Ooooohhh, one is twist!
Me: That's right. So what do we have so far?
Her: One small dipped cone and one small twist cone and two medium cones.
Me: Yes, two medium twist cones.
Her: Wait, so you don't want the small twist cones?
Me: [large inward sigh] I want 4 cones overall.
Her: Oh, ok, two medium cones and the two small cones.
Me: Yes, the two small and two medium twist cones. Vanilla and chocolate twist cones.
Her: [giggle] Ok, that will be $9.18
My wife: Ok that was painful.
Me: [pulls up to window]
Her: [tries to hand me two medium chocolate cones]
Me: The medium ones were supposed to be twist.
Her: [goes around the corner to change the order while shaking her head in disgust]
Me: [stares blankly at her]
Her: [hands me correct cones] Have a good day.
Me: You, too. [drives away]
