Stolen Drinks

So, it's been awhile. Well, really it has only been a week, but that feels like awhile when it's the summer (which it is), so I suppose it's time for me to write again... As far as a fun summer goes, so far I've been sick for most of it... yeah, so much fun there. But anyways, now that I am finally better (I think), I'm able to leave the house and do something besides watch movies all day long... Here goes my story:

So my friend and I (we will once again call her Noodles) decided to walk up to Panera to get an early dinner, or late lunch--whatever you want to call it. Like normal, she brought about two dollars, so I ended up paying for the both of us. The first thing I ordered was a wild cherry Smoothie (for Noodles) and frozen strawberry lemonade (for me). Then I ordered the rest of our food and walked over to the drink pick-up area. Right as I walked up to the counter, the guy making the drinks set down a frozen lemonade. There was no one else around, so I assumed that it was mine, except it had only been about 30 seconds since I finished placing my order, so I was a little reluctant.

And that wasn't the only problem. The frozen lemonade was the normal whitish-yellow color, and since I was almost positive I ordered the strawberry lemonade, I was assuming it would be pink. At least it was pink in the giant picture on the wall... So, I went up to the guy and asked if it was my drink. He just nodded and said yes, so I figured that I forgot to add the "strawberry" part to my order and I grabbed the drink. After a few moments, the cherry smoothie came out, Noodles grabbed it, and we went and sat down.

When we got to our table and started eating, I looked down at my receipt and I noticed that it said that I had in fact ordered a strawberry lemonade. I once again assumed, this time that the guy had just made the wrong drink. The regular lemonade was fine, so I decided not to ask for a new one, and went on eating. That was until Noodles decided to ask, "What if that wasn't your drink?" I was about to say that the guy told me it was my drink, when I realized, how would he know which drink belonged to each person... I hadn't ordered it from him... But since Noodles had the right drink, I kept on thinking that he had just made the wrong drink, and that I had not stolen somebody's lemonade.

That was until about five minutes later when a voice came on the intercom saying "Frozen Strawberry Lemonade and Wild Cherry Smoothie". Ha.. what a coincidence... right? After that Noodles and I came to the conclusion that we had taken the wrong drinks... Whoops. We spent the next few minutes trying to decide whether or not we should awkwardly claim our extra drinks. In the end, we pretended like they weren't ours.

I hope they made new drinks for the people that we stole ours from... (and it was an accident--I swear!)

So I was reading over my post, "Happy Endings Suck" and was literally laughing. I'm keeping it up for laughs.
