Hard of Hearing - ARE WE??

So, phone call time. Phone rings: I answer with my best impersonation of Bill Murray, and the response comes:
"Uh...Hi?"
(Geez, thanks for the enthusiastic hello) "What can I do for ya?!"
"Um...how much does it cost to get a disc cleaned at your store?"
"It's $2.99 a disc."
"Well, what if I wanted you to clean it?"
(Sigh...) "It's $2.99 a disc", came my reply, trying to remain optimistic about where this was headed...
"Um...what if I wanted that without tax?" (why again?)
"That would be $2.99 a disc."
"And with tax...?"
"$3.19"
"Oh...ok." And they hang up.
Well, a little later, a kid walks in, comes to the counter, and says "Um...how much does it cost to get a disc cleaned at your store?"
My resonse: "It's $2.99 a disc."
"Well, what if I wanted you to clean it?"
Then it hit me: IT"S THE SAME KID! "It's $2.99 a disc" Came my amused reply.
"Um...what if I wanted that without tax?"
(Oh...my...head...) "That would be $2.99 a disc."
"And with tax...?"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH "$3.19"
So the kid gets his disc resurfaced, pays for it (with tax...), and then leaves.
The kicker? ANdi comes up and says..."You are never gonna believe this."
"What?"
"That was the same kid who kept asking me if the systems worked about a week ago."
"You gotta be kidding me..."
