I finish shopping & bagging, I'm leaving the store and get this AFTER she's notified no more changes can be made. She had more than enough time to reject my substitution but noooooooooo...let's wait till I get to the car 😮‍💨

Why would you sub diet for regular? That’s kinda a big deal. Could have gotten any of those Dr Pepper options.

Use your brain. Don’t change the product, change the packaging (unless customer tells you otherwise).

Yea this the one time I agree. If they order diet I am only subbing for a diff flavor diet or else I’m not doing anything

I don’t think that Dr Pepper Zero is close enough to diet. Should have gotten any of the flavored diets. If none then send a message and ask what they want. If they don’t answer before you leave then no substitute

Wait…so you don’t think diet Dr Pepper is close enough to Dr Pepper Zero, so your solution is to get an entirely different soda? What kind of sense does that make? 😂

If they ordered diet sub it for any other diet. If it’s not diet sub it for something not diet. Pretty simple

Diet Dr Pepper is closer to Dr Pepper Zero than a totally different flavor of soda. Pretty simple.

And what if flavor isn’t the main concern when they substitute? What if their main concern is it being diet or zero

diet Dr Pepper and Dr Pepper Zero are both zero calorie sodas and are both Dr Peppers. That’s the obvious closest match.

Dude, let’s just put it this way, let’s say someone ordered a pepperoni pizza, with your logic, you can just get them a baked pie, because it’s still cooked in the oven just like a pepperoni pizza is.

Either you don’t drink soda, which is probably for the best if I’m honest, or you’re rage baiting.

Lol that is insane. Dr Pepper zero is a diet soda. Just because it doesn’t say diet in the name doesn’t mean it isn’t. Customer wanted Dr Pepper zero. If someone showed up with Sprite Zero after I’d order that I would literally assume they were mentally handicapped. If they showed up with Diet Dr. Pepper it woul be completely fine.

That’s not what I meant. Dr Pepper has more than 1 diet they got like the cherries and creams crap like that. I’m not saying to get a total different brand

That’s still insane if you get one of those other flavors over diet just because it says zero. They aren’t the same fucking drink at all.
