A lady comes up to the bar. A co-worker serves her.
SC: Hi! I'm on my break, I work across the road! I need two meals, umm two fish and chips. I need them now!
CW: OK...we don't have any food on at the moment, but it takes over five minutes to cook the fish from fresh...
SC: OK, I'll have that. How long do you think it could be?
CW: Anything between five and ten minutes
SC: OK, I'll order it, but please get it to us quickly!
The order went through...
...FOUR minutes later, she comes running up to me.
SC: I ordered my food TWENTY minutes ago! I have to go back to work!
Me: I was there when you ordered your food, it was only a couple of minutes ago.
SC: It was TWENTY! I have to go back to work!
Me: Can I see your reciept?
SC: There!
Me: OK, your reciept says you ordered your food four minutes ago...
SC: Then it's wrong! I've been waiting TWENTY FIVE minutes!
I walk behind the bar and bring up her order.
Me: The computer on the register says it was four minutes ago...
SC: It's wrong! I have to go! I'm in a hurry!
Me: I don't mean to be rude ma'am, but if you were in that much of a hurry you should have gone to McDonalds.
SC: I ordered my food about FORTY minutes ago!
Me: *losing patience* What? A minute ago you said it was twenty minutes...
SC: It's been ages! Where is my food?
At this point, CW walks out the kitchen with her food.
CW: The computer screen in the kitchen says the order went through five minutes, twenty seconds ago.
SC: It's wrong!! I'm right! But at last! It's here!
The SC and her friend sit down. The have about ONE mouthful of their food.
SC: I have to leave now, but don't throw my food away! I'll be back in fifteen minutes to eat the rest of it!
They left.
Two hours later...the food is still there.
She'll probably return later tonight and say "I've only been away a few minutes!"
