Overheard at a drive through

Returning from a trip recently, I stopped by a fast food restaurant and waited as someone gave their order in the car ahead of me. Here’s what I overhead.

“Do you have regular chicken strips?”

“That’s one order of chicken strips, please drive ahead.”

“No, I didn’t order, I asked a question. Do you have chicken strips, just chicken strips, by themselves, nothing else?”

“Yes we do.”

“How much are they”

“They’re $1.79.”

“Does anything come with them?”

I was dumbstruck by the last question. The answer was no. After all, the driver had asked for just chicken strips, with nothing else. I will spare you from the rest of the conversation!
