These have to do with numbers.
The first:
The customer wants two sauces with their bread sticks... or do they?
me: So you want two sauces with your bread sticks?
customer: No! I just want one sauce, and then another sauce.
me: Um, ok.
The second:
We take the local college's student id as payment. It used to be that we had to use just the first seven digits - if we put the eight, the card would be denied (it says "Error - Not in System"). Well, the local college switched it on us. Now we need all eight digits.
me: And what's the card number?
customer: 1234567.
me: Is there another number after that 7?
customer: No, there's not a number after the 7, just a 0.
Of course, zero is not a number! In Roman times maybe!
