Joke... Success?

I have written here about a number of my "jokefails" at work (see entries "Darth Vader Style" and "Jokefail"). Tonight, while working at the restaurant where I'm employed (which is located in a large shopping mall), I made a very successful joke - and it was completely unintentional.

For the purposes of this story, please be aware that mall employees get a discount at the restaurant I work at.


ME:  (Approaching a table of three women.) Is there anything else I can get for you ladies this evening?
WOMAN 1: Just our check.
WOMAN 2: Yes, (winking) and you can go ahead and put our discount at the bottom.
ME: Oh, are you mall employees?
(The WOMEN look at each other for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.)
ALL THREE WOMEN: Hahahahahaha!
(They look at each other, as they're laughing, as if they've never heard such a ridiculous suggestion in their lives.)

Oh, yeah! I get it! HAHAHAHA! What a funny joke! Those mall employees! Those miserable peons! HAHAHAHAHA! What an insignificant existence they must lead! How absurd it would be to imagine that you could ever count yourself as one of them! HAHAHAHAHA!

HAHAHAHAHA!

OMG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh. Hey, wait...

you should have said, "i'll have to check with the manager, i can't remember if the major douchebag discount is 10 or 15%."

that's what i would have said. but i am not a waitress. for a good reason.

I bet they were fat and unhappily married.

Lola, which mall and which restaurant? I too am a lowly mall employee and I'm not above taking a discount!

Alan - I will respond via secret Facebook message.

Maybe they were laughing because it was the first time their "discount at the bottom - wink wink" line ever worked for them...

Or maybe they were douchebags...
