I was out to eat with my family when our (thin) waitress came to us to take drink orders. I ordered a REGULAR coke, but when she was finished taking everyone's drink orders, she read mine back as a DIET coke and walked away before I had the chance to correct her, and she brought me a diet coke. I drank it because I didn’t want to make a scene, but corrected her when she refilled it. Despite me correcting her, she still brought me another diet coke. She took a while getting back to our table because “The restaurant was really busy” so I had to track her down and confronted her. I told her that I needed a regular coke, not a diet. She just said “Oh, well you needed a diet, so I was just doing you a favor.”
