Or perhaps less than normal assistance can be billed extra. I asked for a
small soda at the Burger King. I was informed that they didn't have have
small, only large and "regular." I asked what size "regular was and was
told it's like a medium. So I said, "Then that would be between a large and
a small size?" She replied yes. I said well then I want the small one
regular is bigger than. She said regular was the smallest they had.

RFIs, and so I'll accept that they exist on David's word, but what's
excessive? We have a Sesame Street predicament here.
