How many times can you get a Chick-fil-A employee to say “My pleasure?”
The bar is currently set at five, since I got two yesterday before realizing what I was doing and went for three more. All of my “Thank you”’s flowed with the conversation, but I’m sure you could find more opportunities to thank the person behind the counter, or find more things to ask them about to lengthen the interaction.
Splendid!
I bet a good way would be to order for yourself, and right prior to the tendering of money, feign a phone call, explain that your wife must be calling you, that she might want something, “if you could just give me a moment!”
Then you ‘answer’ your phone, and start a second order.
But you keep having to tweek it as you go, with a “Oh, could I get that without lettuce?” -my pleasure- “Thank you.” -my pleasure- “Is it at all possible to replace the fries with a different side?” You get the drift.
If not wife a friend sitting outside might do, that way it isn’t fake. You could have a hand signal.
You could rack the numbers up really high, I bet. Or if you were ordering for a party.
It says there are no responses to ‘my pleasure’ above my comment.
How rude.
Most of my blog spam thanks me (Nice site!! Thank you!), so I’ve added it to my filter. I don’t check the filter nearly as often as I should, especially with a post that encourages commenters to use some variation of thanks in a reply.
That would be another fun experiment, tweaking a meal until it becomes something totally different, thanking the person repeatedly for it, and them saying it was their pleasure to help you out.
I also had the though of yelling back into the kitchen “Thank you everyone!” before you leave to get a “My pleasure” chorus.
Oh, that would be hilarious if that worked.
Like a ‘my pleasure’ grenade.
