IF RESTAURANTS FUNCTIONED LIKE MICROSOFT
Patron: Waiter! Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem? Patron: There's a fly in my soup! Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly isn't really there. Patron: No, it's still there. Waiter: Then it must be the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead. Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there. Waiter: This is starting to sound like an incompatibility issue; what kind of bowl are you using? Patron: A SOUP bowl! The same one YOU served me! Waiter: Hmmm, that usually works. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up? Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?! Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup? Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day! Waiter: At this point my best advice is for you to upgrade to the latest Soup of the Day. Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day?? Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour. Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now? Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato. Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I'm running late now. Waiter: (Leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check.) Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check. Patron: This is potato soup. Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet. Patron: Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything. Waiter: Enjoy! Waiter: (Leaves.) Patron: Waiter! There's another fly in my soup! Waiter: That sir, is not a fly, it is a protein feature. We have included this enhancement for free with your soup upgrade. Patron: This is completely UNACCEPTABLE!!! Waiter: Well, according to the license agreement printed on the back of your latest napkin, we are not liable for the disliking of our product features. I believe we can close this ticket now. (Removes old check, and leaves a new one.) Patron: (Reads the check:) Soup of the Day ...........................................................................$ 1.50
seems cheap to me ..... |
