Tim Hortons

Am I the only one who gets frustrated at Tim Hortons?

Here's this morning's exchange:

* * * * * * * *

Me: Hi, I'd like a maple pecan Danish, an extra-large English Toffee to go, and...
Her: Maple pecan?
Me: Yes, a maple pecan Danish.
Her: Large coffee?
Me: No, an extra-large English Toffee coffee.
Her: Extra large coffee?
Me: Extra large English Toffee coffee.
Her: Extra large English Toffee coffee.
Me: Yes.
Her: To go?
Me: Yes.
Her: $3.65.
Me: How much are the cookies? (they're not on the board)
Her: (turns around to look at the board) Oh, just a minute. (enters a cookie in the till) .89 each.
Me: Is there a price break for 6 cookies?
Her: 6 cookies?
Me: Yes.
Her: .89 each.
Me: Okay, I'll take 6 white chocolate macadamia cookies.
Her: Chocolate?
Me: White chocolate macadamia.
Her: Chocolate chip?
Me: White chocolate macadamia.
Her: White chocolate macadamia?
Me: Yes.
Her: (puts one in the bag) What else?
Me: All of them the same.
Her: You want all 6 white choco...
Me: Yes.
Her: $x.xx please (I can't remember the amount).
Me: (gives her the exact amount)
Her: (counts it, looks confused, counts it again, counts it again and realizes she doesn't have to give me change)

Now, can you imagine if we provided trail directions in the same fashion?

Rider: Can you tell me how to get to the viewpoint?
Me: The gravel pit?
Rider: No, the view point.
Me: The hill climb?
Rider: NO, the V I E W P O I N T.
Me: The view point?
Rider: YES, THE VIEW POINT.
Me: It's just past the gravel pit.
