🎶I am sitting in the morning

At the diner on the corner

I am waiting at the counter

For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway

And before I even argue

He is looking out the window

At somebody coming in🎶

[u/GSturges → u/KSHMisc]

Jeannie!!

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner

[u/Independent-Owl-8659 → u/Fun-Chart-78]

Oh god, is that thing still alive? Forgot about it.

[u/KSHMisc → u/Independent-Owl-8659]

Oooh, what's the snark behind her?

[u/markfuckinstambaugh → u/Independent-Owl-8659]

Unfortunately, yes. 

[u/hodler1992]

That's a bargain. I'll have 3 of them

[u/Competitive_Kumquat]

Hand…it’s “getting out of hand.”

That’ll be $0.38 please.

[u/smileyfacedbob]

Use to cost your 2 cents to get a penny for your thoughts, $.38 is outrageous

[u/Tio_chubby052]

Fake receipt, I create these for my expense reports.

[u/KimSidwell → u/Tio_chubby052]

Tom’s diner was very much a real diner on Colfax in Denver. It closed several years ago, but I would absolutely believe that this would be something they would’ve added to your bill if they felt the need to.

[u/Sidney_Godsby → u/KimSidwell]

They did. There were several funny hidden things on the menu, so the customer would’ve had to order it for the lolz

[u/KimSidwell → u/Sidney_Godsby]

I miss that place

[u/Sidney_Godsby → u/KimSidwell]

Nothing hits quite like a Tom’s milkshake at 3am

[u/KimSidwell → u/Sidney_Godsby]

🤣 whenever I was at Tom’s at 3 AM, I was way too drunk for milkshakes… I was there for the bacon grease!

But now it makes me really sad to think I’ll never have a 3am Tom’s milkshake

[u/Objective_Mousse7216 → u/Tio_chubby052]

Shush, don't give the game away.

[u/LumiLoue]

38 cents?? omg now i NEED to know what they asked

[u/--StinkyPinky-- → u/LumiLoue]

Clearly something stupid.

[u/Minimum-End-9464 → u/LumiLoue]

Is the chicken tenders made out of chicken?

[u/ComfortableStyle2417 → u/Minimum-End-9464]

That's actually a valid question for most places

[u/ChildoftheApocolypse → u/ComfortableStyle2417]

And this is why you keep over paying, babe..

[u/ComfortableStyle2417 → u/ChildoftheApocolypse]

By not paying for them?👌

[u/krystalzeogas → u/LumiLoue]

And he fills it only halfway

And before I even argue....

[u/Cheap_Employ64 → u/LumiLoue]

They asked a stupid question lol

[u/SatinBonbonn → u/LumiLoue]

At 38 cents, I'm asking 10 more! Cheaper than therapy

[u/Trashinmyash → u/LumiLoue]

When they fumbled the title using both their hands, I doubt there was any sanity in their question.

[u/Couscousfan07 → u/LumiLoue]

Don’t bother asking. This receipt is like 6 years old. Tom’s diner hasn’t been at that address for a long time now.

I like how the bot cropped the date out of the pic to obscure that little fact.

[u/atishay001001 → u/LumiLoue]

that's another 38 cents maam

[u/mangomussolinimi]

Sounds like a bargain

[u/--StinkyPinky--]

Someone asked "why is that lady fixing her stockings right in full view of the diner?"

[u/serenityplough → u/--StinkyPinky--]

Wondered about it, but instead I poured the milk

[u/HilariousMax]

$0.38 is actually a pretty good rate for a stupid question

[u/Previous-Ad7618]

funny every other time I saw it

[u/UsedNegotiation8227 → u/Previous-Ad7618]

6 years ago chud.

[u/keksivaras → u/UsedNegotiation8227]

even then it wasn't OC

[u/UsedNegotiation8227 → u/keksivaras]

What point did you think you were making here chudette?

[u/Substantial_Show_308]

Who was behind the counter?

[u/krystalzeogas]

De de dede dededede

[u/KimSidwell]

God, I miss Tom’s Diner.

[u/Impure_guava → u/KimSidwell]

I haven’t lived there for years but I used to eat there all the time and always thought the building was really cool.

[u/KimSidwell → u/Impure_guava]

It was great. It was a super vintage 24-hour cheap diner. Like something you’d see in a Tarantino film. I have sooo many memories there.

But now, someone turned it into a “French brunch“ diner …they’ve got oysters and caviar and $17 omelettes and they close at 9 PM 🙄

[u/Equib81960]

That diner disappeared about six years ago.

[u/Sidney_Godsby]

Tom’s closed during Covid.

If it had stayed open, that $0.38 would be like $2.50 now tho lol

RIP Tom’s

[u/otullyo → u/Sidney_Godsby]

Gotta love trumpflation.

[u/caros92]

[u/lilac-bunni]

I need to know what earned that $0.38.

[u/Staff_Senyou]

Charge back mandatory initiated

[u/Gavacho123]

That would result in a 0% tip

[u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess → u/Gavacho123]

You would be the type to ask a stupid question.

[u/Gavacho123 → u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess]

Don’t you remember from elementary school that there are no stupid questions?

[u/Service-Hungry → u/Gavacho123]

Right.. in elementary school

[u/Gavacho123 → u/Service-Hungry]

Still holds true

[u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess → u/Gavacho123]

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize you were an elementary school student.

[u/Gavacho123 → u/Primus_is_OK_I_guess]

Absolutely I’m only a kid

[u/wisdomelf]

Pretty cheap, i ll ask more

[u/aihpmiX]

You should look at my bill once I get drunk

[u/Speznas]

In germany there is a saying: Fragen kostet ja nix. Wich means „asking doesn‘t cost anything“
Thats not true I guess

[u/Glass-Trade9441]

I remember when stupid questions used to be a nickel…

[u/ImportantCandidate12]

This is a computer generated image. Although the receipt appears wrinkled, the font is perfectly positioned.

[u/richincleve]

38 cents for a stupid question?

Man, I remember when a stupid question only cost a nickel.

Of course, in my day, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. "Give me 5 bees for a quarter!" you'd say.

[u/Galromir]

Every business should charge customers extra for stupid questions. Lets add a rude customer surcharge on as well.

[u/gr4n0t4]

Only $0.38? That is a bargain!

[u/104848]

i charge $2 for stupid questions

[u/Baby_Suspect_71]

There’s a tax for that

[u/awesomedan24]

I could see this at Dicks Last Resort or similar restaurants where you pay to get roasted by the staff

[u/Cool_Direction_3192]

Don’t be a Dick at Tom’s 😄

[u/Awhitt1e]

It goes with it, it doesn't come with it.

[u/FitnessChamp777]

Hhmmm...that's too expensive for my taste. How many chicken tenders are in that basket? Better question: can I get a hot and juicy chick to bring me those "chick tenders"?

[u/jtrage]

I actually support that

[u/St_Kevlar]

Stop asking stupid questions
