Too many options

Back in the good old days when you was allowed to shove small boys up chimneys ordering fish and chips was easy. "Fish and chips please love." the only response you got was "Salt and vinegar darling?" sadly today is very different. Ask for fish and chips now and you'll get a whole barrage of "Is that a special?"

Armed with this we went to the chip shop last night fully prepared for their annoying options.

Me: [Full of smugness] "Can I have sausage and chips special please."
Assistant: "Is that the £1.50 or £2.50 special?"

Aaaarrrgghh WTF! Ok ok lets move on.

Me: [Full of trepidation] "Can I have kebab meat and chips please, OH WAIT! you only do small or large don't you?"
Assistant: "No we do a breakfast special, a daily special, a mini special, small, medium or large."

Aaaaaaarrrrrrggghh!

Can I not just go in, order something, get served and leave? :'(

Give me your supplier.

Customer: "I see you have some Windows 7 pro laptops for sale, can you do them any cheaper?" Me: "I'm afraid not, we put very little markup on them and as they are refurbished they are very reasonably priced anyway." Customer:  "Seeing as it's pro I take it they come with Word and Excel?" Me: "I'm sorry, why would Pro mean that? No that is just the operating system, Office will be extra" Customer:  "What? They're not much use without Word." Me: "As I said, you can have Word/Office for an additional cost." Customer:  "Can you tell me where you buy them from please?" Me: "I'm afraid not." Customer:  "Why not?" Me: "Two reasons, one they only sell to Trade and two, why would I tell you that so that you go to them direct?" Customer:  "You're very rude?" Me: "I'm sorry you feel that way, I think we will leave it there. Goodbye."
