Scenes from a movie concession stand (all true)

Me: I’d like a medium regular Coke, please.
Concession worker (11 years old): [long pause] Water?
Me: No, a medium regular Coke.
11-year-old: Now, would you like regular water, or flavored?
Me: No. No water. A regular Coke. Medium.

He finally gets that it’s a fountain drink, and slowly, slooowly grabs the paper cup, puts it vaguely under the spigots, and looks back at me.

11-year-old: Cherry Coke?

    Ya know, I’m certain I was that age at one time, but I don’t remember living in the same fog of ignorance and indifference. Perhaps it is all subjective. Perhaps I was smacked in the back of the head often enough to snap me out of it.

    *LMAO*

    I’m a clerk at a convience store, and although I have my moments, I have co-workers who amaze me everyday at how they can do stupid things like that 11 year old and still keep a job.
