Secret Soups

[zara1269]

I was working the front register at the restaurant I work at today. This guy comes up to the counter and asks me what kind of soup we have today.

G: Guy
M: Me

G: What kind of soups you got today?
M: Chicken Noodle, Hearty Vegetable, and Cream of Cauliflower.
G: I'll have potato bacon.
M: I'm sorry we don't have that today. We only have the three soups I listed.
G: Do I have to pay more for Potato Bacon?
M: *Head counter* I'm sorry we're all out. We only have Chicken Noodle, Hearty Vegetable, and Cream of Cauliflower.
G: Ok I guess I don't want anything.
M:

Apparently he thought we had some secret stash of soup that we only gave to extra special folks.

I can understand the first time the person asked, after you listed all the3 soups you have, if you have potato bacon. Just in case you forgot you had it (sigh). But to keep on asking for it is just f*(&ing stupid.

Though now I want potato bacon soup. I have a can of potato soup, and I just bought some bacon. I also have some tocino, which I can cook up too for the soup...mmmm.

[Food Lady]

Yeah, I had to explain to this guy 4 or 5 times that his coupon would only work on Sandwhich A or B, not Sandwhich C.

But you should have had some "out the back" *hides*

[Camry178]

That's the "special soup" that's kept under the counter.

I think I know where you work. Love the cream of cauliflower and the broccoli cheese.

How about Hearty Vegetable with a Bacon Sandwich to dip in it?

G: I'll have potato bacon.
M: I'm sorry we don't have that today. We only have the three soups I listed.
G: Do I have to pay more for Potato Bacon?
M: *Head counter* I'm sorry we're all out. We only have Chicken Noodle, Hearty Vegetable, and Cream of Cauliflower.

G: Oh, ok. Then I'll have Black Bean.
M: I'm sorry we don't have that today. We only have the three soups I listed.
G: Hmm, really? Then I guess I'll have the French Onion.
M: I'm sorry we don't have that today. We only have Chicken Noodle, Hearty Vegetable, and Cream of Cauliflower.
G: Oh, sorry, I didn't catch that the first time. I'll try the Clam Chowder.

Eventually either you get a concussion from slamming your head into the counter or he makes his way far enough through the menu that he gets to one of the three soups you listed.

The scary thing is that I've seen this happen. I had mercifully blocked it out of my memory until your story brought it all rushing back.

I send him next door for the soup. It doesn't matter if it's a crafts store or a hardware store. THAT'S the one thing he believes!?

[Mnemjian]

Ah, yesh, I see what the problem was! When you listed the three types of soups you had, all he heard was "Baconbaconbaconbaconbaconbacon." A common mistake

Sorry for that. It wasn't really a suck just a WTF custy moment. Plus I forgot to mention we have the soups of the day listed on the menu which I physically pointed out.

I often hear the words bacon as well. I love bacon. It's meat candy.

Mmm... The broccoli cheese is really good.

That product is all sorts of wrong but so so right at that same time. I might have to get some. It would be great on popcorn.
