So me and a friend are having a crazy argument about whether or not he got tricked and "disrespected" at a pizza parlor. The story from him goes as follows:
Friend: Yeah I'd like to order a calzone to go please.
Pizza guy: Ok. Anything else?
F: Nah thats it. Just the calzone.
PG: Thats it?
F: Yeah thats all.
PG: Alright it'll be about 10 to 15 minutes.
*Friend goes to sit down at nearby table*
PG: Oh would you like anything to drink while you wait?
F: *Puzzled* Um yeah I guess a soda.
PG: What kind?
F: A pepsi.
PG: *Gets soda and then adds it on to the bill*
F: *Confused by adding to bill but takes soda anyways. Pays final cost of calzone and soda once the calzone is ready*
Friend's argument
So basically what's important here is that he waited until I'd closed out my order by saying "that's all," before he asked if I wanted a drink and because he said "while you wait" I figured that he was just going to comp me a drink because I had to wait 15 minutes.
When I saw him add it to my bill, I didn't make a fuss because I just wanted to get the hell out of there after basically being coerced into buying a drink I didn't want (or ask for.)
My argument
My argument is that the pizza guy performed an acceptable sale tactic. The customer was in the perfect postion to be offered more items to the order. The 2 big points I have on this is that 1) The order was not closed out after "just the calzone" request; 2) Friend chose and accepted a soda at a place of business that specializes in food.
Just because he was waiting and the wording of the pizza guys offer sounded like a complimentary gesture doesn't mean he was tricked into buying an item he didn't originally want. At like Chiles or something, when you go just to have one certain meal, one wouldn't expect that the offer of an appetizer to be free cause you have to wait for the baby back ribs to come out.
Now my friend says this place deserves a boycott cause he is so outraged by salesman trickery. He says its a horrible way to run a business and he was disrespected cause the server was able to pull a fast one on him. I say that he is fucking crazy to even be angry about the soda.
Yeah super trivial and dumb argument but we have been going at it for like an hour. Plus I haven't had a good argument in awhile where I know I am right.

It is very simple
One time we ordered pizza from Dominos
And when the delivery guy arrived it turned out he forgot the pizza
*huff*
"yeah sure i'll take a pepsi. wait. WAIT. i see what you're trying to do here!"
DO HO HO HO HO HO THAT REALLY SLAPS ME ON THE KNEE
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
So I bend down and look and I see that my carpet is crawling with ants.
What the fuck, man?
Where did these ants come from?
How long have I been walking on them?
AND I CANT VACUUM THEM ALL UP BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS SLEEPING ROAR
GASP!
Did you get the pizza!?
I must know how the story ends.
so everyone else would rather have ants crawling all over them while they sleep?
Do you wanna get ants lana? Because this is how you get ants.
We waited while he went back and got it
T H E E N D
we should know, we're professional lonely nerds
Just as I was realizing it he walks off in a huff saying something like "Thanks a lot what with gas prices and everything!" in this really over the top sarcastic tone
So I decided definitely not to tip him
I'm gonna have to go hardcore tomorrow and kill every one of them.
Is it common for them to live IN the house or are they stationed outside and just coming in here for food?
and the cashier accidently gave me a 5 instead of a 1 for change
i gave it back when most people wouldn't have, and i felt good all day
a clean, natural high
My dog eats any ants he sees, which is awesome because I do have a minor ant problem
from the semen stains you see
The piping down there is fucked.
one time i went to a pizza place
and the cashier accidentally gave me a 5 instead of a 1 for change
i kept it like most people would and split a dimebag of some kush with a friend and felt good for the next few hours
a clean, natural high
I am reading this in Ron Swanson's voice and am giggling
This is strange only because I cleaned my room a week ago-ish and the only area with food in my room is here at my desk where I only see a couple of the fuckers every so often, but the carpet by my door (where I kicked off my shoes) is just infested...
Maybe they like my footcheese?
This is a good thing to do
A lot of people think "Wee, free money!" and don't realize the cashier could end up fired for having a short register, or at least getting in some kind of trouble/feeling bad for coming up short
