I don't think I can match that, but I've got a story:

I used to work at Tim Hortons, and I had an early shift during Finals Week at school, so I was completely gone during my shift. Anyways, it was one of my first times working the till, and a customer came in, asking for a buttered bagel - but she didn't want a whole lot of butter. That's reasonable, right?

Anyway, on the till, there's this "1/2" button that's used in situations like this. Presstin "1/2" and "Butter" made it show up "1/2 Butter," an the counter came back to clarify - "She doesn't want a lot of butter." "Oh, okay." This was all common practice, and my supervisor stood behind me, backing me up. Apparently the bagel wasn't buttered to the customers specifications, she flips out at the counter, and stalks off. Guess what we talked about for the rest of the day?
