I have had the following conversation several times with one particular employee at my local Tim Hortons:
Me: I'll have a toasted chicken club sandwich combo please, on whole wheat bread, with Coke to drink and a chocolate dipped donut.
Her: A chicken club sandwich?
Me: Yes, please. Toasted, on whole wheat bread. As a combo, with Coke and a chocolate-dip.
Her: What kind of bread would you like that on?
Me: Whole wheat please. Toasted. As a combo, with Coke and a chocolate-dip.
Her: Would you like that toasted?
Me: Yes, please. As a combo, with Coke and a chocolate-dipped donut.
Her: OK, would you like that as a combo? You can get a drink and a donut with the combo.
Me: Yes, please. I'll have Coke and a chocolate-dipped donut.
Her: OK. Coffee to drink with your combo?
Me: No, thanks. I'll have a Coke. And. A. Chocolate. Dipped. Donut.
Her: OK. Coke. And what kind of donut?
Me: Hmmmm... I can't make up my mind. What do you suggest?
Her: I like the Maple dip.
Me: Fine. Maple dip it is.
Her: OK, anything else?
Me: No thanks. There are only so many hours in a day.
Her: Confused look
I suppose that it would help if I said what I wanted up front rather than wasting her time like that, trying to squeeze the information out of me.

And you don't think that deserves an increase to ten bucks an hour? LOL
