I went to the cinema this evening with my dad and brothers. Bluewater was packed and apparently everyone had decided to have dinner at the exact same time as us. Most places said there was a 45 minute wait and as we only had an hour and a half till the film, we struggled to find somewhere that was going to feed us quick enough. We ended up at Carluccio's, which was slightly speedier, but we were still pressed for time so my brother Kolin and I went ahead to get popcorn etc while my dad and my other brother stayed to pay the bill.
So we walked up to the counter and queued for a little while before one of the staff called us over to his till. We walked over and I ordered a large popcorn, a bag of Minstrels and a bag of Starburst (Opal Fruits, Opal Fruits, Opal Fruits!!!!) and I then ordered an apple Tango for my dad. I turned to Kol and asked what he wanted. A Pepsi. So I said, "Okay, and two small Pepsis."
Our server, Olly, looked confused. "Do you still want the apple Tango?"
"Yes, and a Diet Pepsi."
"So that's one small apple Tango, two small Pepsis and a Diet Pepsi?"
"Yes."
"Do you know it would be cheaper to get a regular Pepsi, because that's less than two small Pepsis."
"Well, if it's cheaper...." I waited for a moment as what he actually said sinks in. "Wait, no, we need four drinks."
"Oh," he said. "I thought it was just for the two of you."
Yeah, the two of us were going to eat a whole large bag of popcorn and chase it with two entire bags of sweets. Seriously!

Gee, you just ate dinner - and then you're going to eat all of that at the movies?!?!?!?
Just kidding.
It's amazing the lack of basic common sense folks in jobs like that have some times. You know what you want to order; he should just take the order and get you on your way!
Hey, don't judge me, we hadn't had dessert! Hehe
