Very large woman in line (staring at menu board which clearly does not list chicken wild rice as a soup option): Um, I’ll have a bowl of chicken wild rice.
Employee: I’m sorry ma’am, we don’t have that today.
Very large woman: You don’t have it?  You always have it!
Employee: I’m sorry, we don’t have it today.
Very large woman: So you’re saying I can’t get chicken wild rice today?!
Employee (looking a bit bewildered): Yes, that’s what I’m saying.
Very large woman: This is bullshit!  I’m going to McDonald’s!
Very large woman’s friend (to employee): I am so sorry.
