Number One $5.99 By: Blake Whitley Off work at last! Yay!! I pull in at the local burger joint, I opt to go inside instead of drive through. Employee nervously said hello welcome to Burger Joint! I return the greeting with a hello and I would like a #1 Would you like cheese on that sir? No just the #1 for $5.99 will be good, (I actually said $5.99!) Would you like that in a medium or large? Ill take the #1 for $5.99! He turns to look at the menu, simultaneously I am pointing at the #1 for $5.99. He looks back at me without saying anything, just staring into my eyes as looking into the abyss! He finally speaks with a shaking voice yo y y yo you want the #1? Yes the #1 for $5.99. Finally I hear the beep beep beep of the register and he says that will be $7.39 sir Out of disbelief I handed him the $20 until I snapped to attention and said $1.40 for tax? As he handed me the change he said you ordered the medium didnt you? I ordered the #1 for $5.99 Sorry I rang you up for the medium, Ill get the manager. He looked at a nearby coworker and ask where the manager was, shes outside on break. He paced back and forth a couple of times being careful not to make eye contact with me before he headed outside. She is not out there, he paced some more again without any eye contact The manager appears from the back, I let him tell the story, she apologizes. I hand him the change from the twenty, she is digging change out of the register and he is putting change right back in when I interject for a time out. Can we start over, she agreed, put all of the money back in the register and made proper change, everybodys happy! She smiled as she began to walk away and said, he has only been here a few days but I think he is doing marvelous! Dont you? I am so glad there was no mirror there for me to see the look on my face.
