at a burger king drive thru
bk: welcome to burger king can I take your order?
me: I want a bacon double cheeseburger meal with a coke and that's it
bk: a what meal?
me: a bacon double cheeseburger meal
bk: ... ... uh.....we don't have no bacon double cheeseburger meal
me: um you don't? (i've ordered it before)
bk: no sir
me: um...okay......do you have a double cheeseburger meal?
bk: yeah
me: can I get bacon on that?
bk: yeah
me: that's what I want
bk: (sheepishly responded after long pause) your total is $.... please pull around.
The best part is when I pulled around it was the manager working the drive thru.

Back in my Wendy's days...a friendly looking middle aged woman walks in with her daughter.
Customer: I would like two hard shell tacos
Me: We don't have tacos
Customer: where are the tacos on your menu?
Me: We don't have tacos on our menu
Customer: You're a taco bell and you don't have TACOS?
Me (sporting a Wendy's hat at the register surrounded by pictures of burgers and Wendy's logos): We're not Taco Bell. This is Wendy's, and that's Taco Bell two places over.
Customer: *short pause* Oh. thanks!
Someone once ordered a Mozzarella Chicken "Surprise" instead of "Supreme". I wanted to say "Surprise! It's not chicken!", but I withheld.

My wife, working at KMart (when she was 16)...
Middle aged customer in Health and Beauty: "Where do you keep the vibrators?"
My wife: "Uh...I don't think we have those."
customer: "Hmmm. Really. They might be with your small electric appliances."
After showing her to the appliances which naturally, did not carry vibrators, my wife says..."Maybe you should try Pricilla's."
