There was a fairly intricate debate on an early version of this posted to bluesky, the contention being over whether OR was sufficient. I think the ORs have it, but XOR is a funnier word, so there.

Only sometimes. English is very much not so consistent.
Example: If I'm asked "Do you want fries with that? Or a shake?" It's perfectly reasonable* for me to respond with "Both please."
(*Linguistically, not so reasonable for my health.)
Just respond like logic operators expect you to
Yes
Yeah in this instance "yes" would cover both and if you want to answer with either specific then you name them
"fries, thanks, no shake"
"a shake please, yes"
Those all seems clear to me
Edit although if you just answer "yes" the cashier should prolly confirm "both?", if he's a pro.
