Cafe menu deals
A few years back I went into a cafe which was self service and I took the 'Menu deal' option which was a full english breakfast including tea and toast. I don't drink tea so didn't bother taking a pot or cup. When I got to the till man at the end of the counter I had a most surreal experience

Til Idiot (TI): 'Do you know that this menu comes with tea also?'
ME: 'I know but I don't drink tea'
TI: 'Yes but if you want to avail of the special price offer you have to take the tea. If not I'll have to charge you the items individually'

I waited for him to smile as surely it was a joke but no, he was serious.

ME: 'Look, I don't expect a discount and I'm not wasting a pot of tea that I don't want'
TI: 'I'm sorry sir but the offer says the special menu includes tea and toast'
ME: 'Can I take some extra toast in lieu of the tea'
TI: 'No, I'll have to charge you for the extra toast'
ME: 'Is the tea really really hot?'
TI: 'Yes Sir'
ME: 'Good, now go get me a pot and I won't need a cup for where I'm going to pour it'

It was at this point he called over the manager who after consultation with the idiot, asked me to leave! I was in such shock that I didn't even shout or spitefully spit on the breakfast in front of me!
