She Wanted Less. She Got Less.

You ever go into a deli, right? You want a little turkey, some ham. Simple stuff. But then you get a new owner, they want to go the “extra mile.” Next thing you know, you’re in a philosophical debate about the weight of your pastrami. Comedy.This deli worker, bless their heart, trying to impress the new boss. Customer comes up, looks at the bill, and says, “Whoa, that’s too much!” She thinks she ordered less, right? So, what does our hero do? Instead of saying, ‘Ma’am, you got two pounds of bologna,’ they just… give her less. “Somebody got less ounces I’ll tell you what…” – that’s a direct quote. Beautiful. Like a magic trick, but with cold cuts.It’s a classic case of “be careful what you wish for,” you know? Or, as one commenter put it, “If she was nice about it and just asked then she could have saved face.” Oh, the humanity! Saving face over… sliced cheese. We’re talking deli meat, not a diplomatic incident. But hey, a penny saved is a pound… of someone else’s meat lost, I guess. Did I say that? Probably.The irony, right? Trying to go the “extra mile,” but the customer’s attitude makes you go the “extra millimeter.” And then she complains it’s too much, and boom – now it’s less. It’s like a financial diet. Quick results, no exercise required. Just complain.So next time you’re at the deli, and you think the price is wrong, maybe just ask. Don’t demand. Because you might just end up with a lighter wallet and a lighter sandwich. Me? I just shut up and pay. Less drama, more ham. That’s my motto. And I’m a mess.
