I had breakfast at McDonalds today because I was out early on a call. The lady behind the counter was nice and was of Hispanic descent. When she gave me back my change (which was a FIVE dollar bill) she pronounced it 'Fi'. As I ate breakfast I realized it sounded like Pi. I should have asked her what a Fi was. I understand the need to hire Hispanics, for the NON-english speaking Hispanics that eat there.
The above incident would have been mostly ignored but when she brought me my breakfast platter and I said she could remove the butter from my tray because I don't use it. She laughed as she took it off the tray. Was she laughing at me? It certainly was not with me.
I should have held my hand up and asked her to give me "Fi"! :-)
