So, I was at work today, at the Steak and Fries and this guy comes up and says he wants a chicken sandwich, so I ask him all the usual condiment questions and then I ask if he wants anything else, like something to drink. He said that that was all he wanted and he handed me $5, I entered 500 into the computer, which is what you do when someone gives you five dollars...
Then he said, oh wait I want a bottle of water too, so I pressed the beverage button and then the bottled water button...but I had forgotten to clear the five dollars...I looked at how much he owed and the amount was around $734.
I gaped at the computer and then I realized that it put 500 bottles of water...I was stunned. I started to laugh and I told the man what had happened and he was laughing too. Then I pressed the screen to highlight the waters and then I pressed void...the number went down to 499...
4 voids later and I turned to my coworkers ... "Enrico, Shannon, Tom...I accidentally put in 500 bottles of water and it is voiding them one at a time..." They burst out laughing and came over but they couldn't figure out how to get rid of them all at once, so we printed the receipt out and wrote void on it and then rang up the order again. This time with just one bottle of water.
At closing time we were all sitting in the back waiting for Jaunis (my boss) to come and pick up the money. Jay came over to talk to us and take me home, and so I was telling him this story, I got to the part where I was about to say that I had entered 500 bottles of water and my boss came out from the front and yelled "500 bottles of water! How did this happen!" we all burst out laughing and she told us that it wasnt' funny, and that we should call her over next time. We pulled straight faces and said we would call her next time, and then she left and we burst out laughing once again.
So yes, that is my 500 bottles of water story!

Wow. How quite amusing.

Just because I feel like it and have nothing better to do...
497 bottles of water to void, 497 bottles of water... take one down, pass it around... 496 bottles of water to void.
This is where you left off, right? Someone else take over. I'm done.
496 bottles of water to void, 496 bottles of water... take one down, pass it around... 495 bottles of water to void.
