High Maintenance

Saturday, we rolled into Sonic and placed our order. Just a drink and a smoothie, nothing fancy.
As we waiting for our order, a young girl in a large SUV pulled up and after a few seconds of deliberation, placed her own order.

Girl: Can I get the Sweetheart Brownie Blast with vanilla ice cream?
Disembodied Voice: It IS made with vanilla ice cream.
Girl: Right but can I get it without the dark cherry favoring?
DV: Yes, you want a Sweetheart Brownie Blast without cherry?
Girl: Well, yes, but I want extra brownies and I want another Sweetheart Blast with no whipped cream?
DV: you want another Sweetheart Brownie Blast with cherry flavoring and no whipped cream?
Girl: What? No. I want another Blast WITHOUT cherry and no whipped cream but extra brownies

By this time we were laughing and I shook my head, "God, what a high maintenance little girl!"

I then turned my head and found myself staring at the larger-than-life-size poster of the Sweetheart Brownie Blast.
It DID look good. Ice cream, bits of brownies, whipped cream....but I hate cherry flavoring and it WOULD be good with lots of extra brownie bits.

Me: *pushes the button*
DV: May I help you?
Me: Can I get a Sweetheart Brownie Blast without cherry and with extra brownies?
DV: *heavy sigh*

That's awesome. Did you even realize it at the time you were making the order or did you only afterwards have this self-realization? If it was the latter then yes, you are high maintenance ;)

As a kid, I worked in one of those fast food joints, and for DV's everywhere I say: "You picky bastard!"
