“Sir, she was just here. You guys got in a huge fight and she said she never wanted to see you again before storming out. I came over to see if you were okay and you said you just wanted to forget this night ever happened. Then you ordered a cheeseburger and a Coke. This all happened, like, seriously, two minutes ago.”
“Funny, I don’t remember any of it. So can I get that Coke now?”
If I order a Coke (as in a COCA-COLA, and not just “a soda” some some people, for some reason, mean “Coke” to mean), and when they ask if Pepsi is OK. I say “No.”
If I ever ask for Dr Pepper and you say you have root beer or Mr Pibb or anything but Dr Pepper as though anything is a replacement for Dr Pepper… it’s the same thing.
I’m absolutely stunned, *stunned* that no one has commented on the classic Saturday Night Live “Olympia Restaurant” sketch with Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, et al.
Once I went to a restaurant and asked, “Can I get a root beer?” and the server said “Sure! Is Dr. Pepper okay?” It both baffled me that he said yes first when they didn’t have any, and that he thought Dr. Pepper was close enough.
If it’s your first time visiting a restaurant (or maybe second etc.) it’ll always be the opposite.
Yup
“I wonder where my date is.”

The sad thing is, there are customers like that out there, I have no doubt on this.
If I order a Coke (as in a COCA-COLA, and not just “a soda” some some people, for some reason, mean “Coke” to mean), and when they ask if Pepsi is OK. I say “No.”
And then I don’t get a soda.
Pepsi is better anyway but cherry dr pepper is even better
It’s why I ask, do carry Coke or Dr Pepper?
that would have worked better as an animation.
They taste the same. Give him a pepsi and he won’t notice.
They don’t taste the same at all!
…I can tell the difference easily.

“Ack-hack, *gasp*”
“I’m sorry, sir! I though you said a ‘Choke’!”
“We don’t have Coke. Is Pepsi okay?”
“Depends. Is Monopoly money okay?”
