The Real Meaning Of Finger Food
(I work at a restaurant that specializes in roast beef. A customer is standing at the end of the counter, staring at the meat slicer.)
Customer: “Can I touch the beef?”
Me: “Sorry?”
Customer: “The beef. On the slicer. I want to touch it.”
Me: “Uh, I can’t let you do that.”
Customer: “But why?”
Me: “Well, we can’t turn the slicer off during the lunch rush unless we’re putting a new roast on it.”
Customer: “Oh, you don’t have to turn the slicer off. I just wanna touch the beef!”
Me: “Well, I don’t want to serve anyone a sliced beef and finger sandwich today, so tough luck.”
