wendyzskiI posted this bit of witnessed suck over there and thought you too would be amused by the crazy melted cheese lady:
After a really awful day, I went to KFC for some comfort food. Specifically, a mashed potato bowl - a thing of carbo-loaded gravy-covered glory that looks like someone already ate it and tastes like everything you're not allowed to eat. It's mashed potatoes, corn, chicken and gravy with shredded cheese sprinkled on top. Remember this - shredded cheese on top.
Well the lady next to me was apparently unaquainted with the concept of shredded cheese, because she looked at her fresh bowl and exclaims "My cheese ain't meltid"!
The counter clerk and I sort of looked at her, and she explained that "every time I gits this the cheese is meltid. It's sposed to be meltid!" The counter clerk tried to explain to her that if she would wait a little bit, the cheese would be melted, but she continued to insist that they "melt it" for her.
I stepped in and tried to help explain that hot food+shredded cheese+time=melted cheese, but she was having none of it. She starts to say "well I read the manual and it sposed to have melted chese on it!"
I got my bowl, showed it to the lady, and pointed out that it also had shreds of cheese on it, and that this was the way it came. By this point she was demanding to see the manager because the countergirl wouldn't melt the cheese for her. So I left.
And you know what - I got back to my office, and I had melted cheese! It's a miracle!

Customer goes outside, balloon shrinks and starts to fall, customer comes back to the store to complain. I finish dealing with whatever, and walk slowly over to them, and repeat, pointing to the balloon, which is warming and filling as I speak...
Logic, we don't need no stinkin logic.
