    Math is hard

    Tonight a customer ordered 30 hot wings. We sell them in orders of 10 or 20. When I put the order in, I heard this exchange in the kitchen:

    Scatterbrained CW: 30 wings? We don't even sell 30 wings! All we do is 10 and 20.

    Other CW: 20 plus 10 is 30.

    SCW: Ohhh. I didn't know we could do that.

    SCW is a natural blonde, if that counts for anything.

    In her defense, I think most places would send it to the kitchen as two items on the order, no?

        3 orders of 10 is also an option here.

            Nope. As OP said, they're only offered as orders of 10 or 20.

              Sometimes those types of people can be exasperating to deal with! However, this reminds me of a mistake I made recently, haha. I was making a purchase at the store where I work, so I guess I was the SC.

              I was owed $70 in change. My coworker who rung me up gave me three $20 bills and a $10 bill. I counted like 3 times and kept thinking, "Why did she give me only $50?" and finally said, "I think you owe me $20 more." I realized my mistake as soon as I opened my mouth. OOPS! She probably (understandably) thinks I'm an idiot now.

                Like I used to share stuff with my little bothers and sheepsters (4 of each):
                "One for me and one for you and one for me. Next!" I got 16, they each got 1.

                  From the warped minds of the Merry Melodies/Silly Symphonies teams:

                  "One for you, and one for me. Two for you, and one, two for me...."

                  1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                  2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                  3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                  4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
