Yeah, quite appropriate for some situations here, such as... My wife was buying some, ahem, undergarments, and they had a 'buy two get one free' offer. So she took three of the aforementioned articles to the cashier, who then proceeded to ring up all three items at their normal price. When my good lady told her that there was a '3 for the price of 2' offer, the cashier replied that she knew this, "... but you brought three to the checkout..." Then my wife (as patiently as she could manage) tried to explain the concept, but this only elicited the same "... but you brought
three ..." repsonse, coupled with this expression:

After a futile stand-off, a 'manager' was finally summoned, who explained that it was in fact my my wife who had made a mistake - what she was apparently supposed to do was take
two items to the cashier, and then 'someone' (presumably at the manager level or above) would then fetch the third one and authorise the special 'promotion' transaction. We laughed about it afterwards, but it was somewhat irritating for 'er indoors at the time.
