This is a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things, but I’ve been in the service industry for almost 15 years now, and in that time I have only ever worked at places that serve Coke products. Restaurant, bar, catering company, sporting events, you name it: Coke.

Last year my current job made a huge switch and gave Pepsi pouring rights for the first time ever. And it’s not until you serve Pepsi that you realize that nearly 100% of people ask for Coke by default. Even people who actually prefer Pepsi. And because of this every time someone orders with me, I have to follow up with “is Pepsi OK?” Even with people who are there all the time. Even people who I have LITERALLY SERVED THAT NIGHT! Like they’ll ask for Coke, I’ll ask if Pepsi is OK, they’ll say yes and then come up and say “can I have more Coke?”

But I still have to ask every time because occasionally you do get the person who claims not to like Pepsi and will order something else.
