a couple quick ones

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!

We have to check how many people live in the customers house, for several reasons - there may be more than one name on the account and therefore if the other person has rung up with a problem, the notes pertaining to it may be on THAT person's account (the two account holder accounts are kept seperately).

These are real replies I have had while trying to get an answer to this not very difficult question -

me to customer - how many adult people live in the house with you?

customer - I don't know, it's a bedsit. (in which case, in YOUR bedsit, how many people are there?)

customer - I have three dogs and a cat

customer - i live by myself
later in the conversation customer states that his wife has tried to get an answer to the problem as well
me - your wife lives with you? I thought you said you lived alone?
customer - yes I live by myself with just the wife, no children.......
me


customer - well i have three children who live with thier mother
me - so they dont live with you? And they aren't adults?
customer - no.
me

With our college's system, all we have to do is show them our ID to get a discount or they scan them like a credit card. Very handy for both me and the cashier. Although I don't how well this will work once our branch changes over to using our IDs like debit cards like our main campus does. We shall see.

customer: No! I just want one sauce, and then another sauce.

Am I the only person who got "Fletch" vibes off of this?
