It Had To Happen

I knew sooner or later it was going to happen. I was at the drive thru getting a cheeseburger today. When the employee told me the total, instead of saying 'Ok', or just driving up to the window, I said 'Thanks for calling' like I was at work. I doubt if she even noticed what I said, because she probably quit paying attention to me as soon as she told me the total, but I still felt silly for saying it. I remember I used to have a roommate that was a hostess for a restaurant. One night someone called while she was asleep, and when she stumbled to the phone and picked it up she said 'Thank you for calling Shoney's'. Just another side effect of working for The Man.
