I went in Braum's today to buy a gallon of milk, and the woman who was ringing me up was simultaneously on the earpiece for the drivethrough. The man in the car had her listing off all the kinds of ice cream they had available -- somewhere just south of 30 varieties -- and after she was done, she paused a moment and then replied to him, "Double dip of vanilla, yes, sir."
"Seriously?" I asked her. "After making you list off all that, he ordered vanilla?"
She grinned at me. "Happens more often than you'd think."
