Nobody likes being asked stupid questions, and those who work with people all day long may hate it more than anyone else. One restaurant in Colorado is apparently done with that, so they started charging a fee when asked a stupid question.
Tom’s Diner recently printed a receipt on which they listed the charged items: $2.99 for side mashed potatoes, $9 for chicken tenders basket, and $0.38 for one stupid question. Yes, it really happened, as Reddit users confirmed below the post where the photo of the receipt was shared. “Used to work at this spot. Tickets for the stupid question go through to the kitchen as well lol,” a Reddit user wrote in the comment section.
Well, if they have to charge for stupid questions, 38 cents seem like an appropriate amount. It’s not a lot so the customers will probably laugh it off, but in case someone asks a lot of questions, it can add up.
We’re still not sure who determines when a question is stupid. It seems like the judgment is subjective and depends on the mood of the person serving you that particular day. You should probably just avoid asking stupid questions, just in case.
