Who cut the cheese?

Now I don’t condone eavesdropping, children, but I couldn’t help myself tonight.

I was at my local pizza joint ordering a large works no olives when the phone rang and Pizza Guy answered. Obviously I could only hear his side but I think you can get the gist without the other end.

Pizza Guy: Thank you for calling Valentino’s Pizza. This is John. Would you like to try any pizza with extra cheese?
Pizza Guy: One large cheese would be $6.99
Pizza Guy: Extra cheese would be $2 more.
Pizza Guy: Yes ma’am. Extra cheese does cost extra.
Pizza Guy: No, the pizza does come with cheese but if you want more cheese you pay extra.
Pizza Guy: Yes, it’s the same kind of cheese but you just get more.
Pizza Guy: I guess that’s true. A large pizza would have more cheese than a medium pizza.
Pizza Guy: So you want to order a large cheese pizza but on a medium pizza?

I’ve never seen someone get so red in the face. I had to turn away to stifle my snort.

Aren’t you glad you aren’t in retail anymore? I know I am.
