but ex-cue-see and excuse don’t really sound the same enough for it to not sound awkward.

This. It was just an awesome reply. Probably derailed the customer good, which I’m pretty sure is what it was supposed to do.

I’ve never heard excuses used in place of opinion, but that’s just me. Still think what Sir Frederick said is valid, though

Uh, there is a saying about excuses, “Excuses are like a**holes, everyone has one and they all stink.” (Opinion is also used, in place of excuse)

I found it very amusing. fyi it is like “assume” ass/u/me makes an ass out of you and me, in response to the question, “you know what happens when you assume?” therefore the answer is funny in a smart ass way because it doesn’t work like that “you know what happens when you make excuses?” “excuse” ex/cu/se or sounding it out x/q/c ending as “it makes an x out of q and c.” Hilarious and quick witted.

Yeah, what the waiter said doesn’t work on its own as a joke… but what the customer said doesn’t make sense either – they don’t say anything about excuses! Ergo, I found this hilarious.

Hmmm yeah I’m kind of disgusted by people who yell at hardworking customer service employees who are helpless to defend themselves. Maybe if the waiter like, bitchslapped him it woulda been funnier. He should do that next time.
