Over the weekend I volunteered at my son’s school for a fundraiser and was put on a concession cash register.  The event was pretty busy and we had a steady flow of hamburgers, hot dogs, and combos thereof coming past, with the occasional candy bar or soda.  I tried to do the friendly chat with people as I rang them up, so I didn’t always take a close look at their plate aside from noting the dollar amount of the items.  Once in awhile I caught myself in a mistake, and there was also the mis-identified hamburger combo…

Two gentlemen that appeared to be of Indian origins came up, and wanted to combine their items on one ticket and pay the combo price.

“Sure, let’s see…a hamburger combo is $5.00.  How are you guys enjoying your day?”

The gentlemen looked at me in horror.  “Veggieburger!”

I cringed, nodded, and rang them up.  Veggieburger, hamburger…they look the same in a wrapper!
