How About Some Tea?

I was trying to find a nice place to have a cup of coffee on my WNR, and we stumbled across this new Coffee shop titled “Sentiment Café”
Anyway, so I go inside and after some contemplation, order a brownie and Peppermint Tea smoothie. When it came my turn to pick up my order, the waitress handed me what looked like a chocolate milk. “Where’s my brownie?” I asked her.
“In the tea.”
I did a double take “What?! Why?”
She appeared flustered. “Because…..you ordered a brownie and tea.”
“but I didn’t ask you turn it into a three in one.” I looked inside the cup and could indeed see the flecks of almond and chocolate icing floating around inside.
“Well….now that I made it already, can you just pay for this now, and get a separate brownie and tea next time?” She asked hopefully.
I was indignant. “I don’t think so. I don’t want to pay the net price for one cup of brownie/tea.”
Thankfully her manager came over, and after finding out what the situation was, she promptly had her redo my order…..but I did get quite a few good laughs out of it once I was safely out of earshot of the poor befuddled waitress.
More than once I’ve thought of compiling a book of all the misshapen restaurant orders that have happened here to myself and people I know. It happens often, but it’s not something you get annoyed about as much as amused, because they do it with such innocence, you cant really be mad at them.
Anyone up for joining me next time i go there?

Amazing that they wld come to that conclusion from your order. But how does that become "a three in one?"

Peppermint Tea smoothie sounds awesome, BTW; wld like to try that someday.
