99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: Whaddya mean?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: (by rote) Sir, the system shows me that your medical records indicate

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you have high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Luckily, we have a new agreement with your National Health Care provider that allows us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to sell you double meat pies as long as you agree to waive all future claims of liability.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: What?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The total is $67.00 even.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: $67.00!!!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: That includes the delivery surcharge of $15.00

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to cover the added risk to our driver of traveling through an orange zone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: I live in an orange zone?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: Now you do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Looks like there was another robbery on Montrose yesterday.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hmm ... you could save $48.00 if you ordered our special Sprout Submarine combo and picked it up yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Comes with Tofustix. Those are very tasty, Sir. Good value too.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: Well, I’m sure you can afford the $67, then.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You just bought those tickets to Hawaii. They weren’t cheap, eh?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, but I see you checked out “The Budget Beach Bum” at the library last week.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hmmm. Up to you sir.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: All right, all right... I’ll get the Sprout Subs.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: Good choice sir.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Gotta watch that waist if your hitting the beach, eh? 42 inches.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wow. Man I’d say tofu and sprouts is, like... required!”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: (sputters) That’s how much?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: Just between you and me, there’s a $3.00 off coupon in this month’s Total Men’s Fitness Magazine.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Your wife Betty subscribes to that, right? (pause)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Anyhow, clip that and it’s $19.99 even.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Whoa, looks like your maxed out on all your credit cards. Bring cash, ok?”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: (sarcastic) say if you’re so wired into the system

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
why don’t you just debit my bank account?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Operator: No problem... But your bank charges a $2.00 transaction fee for that...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(sarcastic) Sure that won’t break the bank, sir?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Customer: (sputters) I’ll pay cash!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
