“What would you like to drink?” asked the waitress.
“I’d like some cola please!” I replied.
The waitress responded “We serve Coke (or Pepsi). Would that be okay?”
I would respond with a “Sure!” Then I would get chastised by the others at my table: “No one says THAT in Canada!”
I suppose I am expected to say: “I would like a Coke (or Pepsi) please!” Though I don’t see how that solves the problem of what to say if you don’t know if they serve Coke or Pepsi. The Coca Cola Company and the Pepsi Cola Company both make cola, don’t they?
What a crazy country where I’m living!
