The other day I was at one of our town's popular pasta restaurants and decided to order a Pepsi. At the time I placed the order, I asked for Pepsi and there seemed to be no problem. When the soft drink arrived, turned out to be a Coke. Hmmm. Why didn't the waiter tell us this before the drink was served? Most restaurants will tell you that they don't have Pepsi and ask if you would settle for a Coke before you place the order. I think that should be common courtesy at all restaurants if you don't know what they are serving.
While this was not a monumental issue at the time (I settled for the Coke), it got me thinking, why don't restaurants and other eating places serve both Coke and Pepsi? It seems like each place is married to one soft drink vendor or the other, but not both. The same applies down the line of their other soft drinks... Sprite or 7-Up (lately Sierra Mist)... Barqs or Mug Root Beer... whatever... each drink is tied to the major Coke or Pepsi vendor.
Know of any restaurant where customers have a choice of either Pepsi or Coke within the same premises?
What is your preferred soft drink of choice?
