A Chai Late And A Dollar Short
Me: “Hi, I’d like a small chai latte with soy, please.”
Cashier: “Okay.” *enters order* “And what size did you want? Oh, you said small?”
Me: “Yes, please.”
(She rings me up and hands me my receipt. I double-check it to make sure she got it right, and see that in addition to the soy, I’ve been charged $1 extra to add a shot I didn’t ask for.)
Me: “Excuse me, but it says I was charged for a shot.”
Cashier: “Oh, well… I accidentally rang it up as a chai instead of a chai latte.”
Me: “Okay…”
Cashier: “So… sorry about that.”
(The cashier looks around awkwardly, and then grabs a barista and shows her my receipt, whispering to her.)
Barista: “Did she order a shot?”
Cashier: “No.”
Barista: *to me* “Sorry about that.”
Me: *waits*
Barista: “…Did you want that dollar back?”
Me: “Um, yes?!”
