I am travelling business class on the train (long story involving 3 visits to the ticket window, an upgrade, a downgrade, another downgrade, another upgrade, etc). With my ticket stub I get a free drink. After saying no to a nickel-sized hummus "tray" that cost $3, I ordered my tea and presented my stub (ticket stub, that is).
You should have told me before, came the reply. This gets you a small. And he showed me the small cup (fine). And he then proceeded to take the top off my regular-sized tea cup and pour my tea into the small. So, there you go - he wasted a cup and threw out the extra lukewarm water.
(It feels like I'm complaining and cranky, but I thought it was really pretty funny. The cranky is probably just a result of being tired.)
