Sonic Fail

We went to Sonic today, taking advantage of the fact that both girls had fallen asleep in the car.

They have the best drinks ever. I ordered my usual strawberry limeade slush, and I ordered a "strawberry milkshake" for Ricardo. The girl said okay, and even repeated the order to us.

When the carhop brought our drinks, she repeated the order to us again: a strawberry limeade slush, and a strawberry slush.

What the heck... I said, "um, this slush was supposed to be a strawberry MILKSHAKE...."

I can not believe what the girl responded... I am not making this up:

Ditsy Carhop:  "Ummm...."  (twirling hair) "We don't have milkshakes."

Seriously???

Me: "You should have them..."

Ditsy Carhop:   "I mean, we have shakes... but not milkshakes.."

Oh, man. When she uttered those words, I was torn between wanting to laugh at her and wanting to pop her a good one upside the head...

Me:  "I, uh, am pretty sure they're the same thing... A milkshake is a shake."

I couldn't believe I was having to explain this to her. It was like an out-of-body experience.

Ditsy Carhop:  "I mean, I can get you a shake... But, it's not, like, milky or anything... "

Me:  "Yes, please, can we get a strawberry shake?"  Heaven forbid I should call it by its full name again and confuse you... Wow.

And, I better never ask for a hamburger-- can you imagine?  "Uh, sorry we don't have hamburgers, only burgers. But I mean, they're not, like, hammy..."

Or, even worse: FRENCH fries... "Um, we have fries, but I'm pretty sure they're American, not French..."

That was the ultimate Fail. The best yet.

And, for more fails and a laugh or 2, go here.
