A Well-Done Interaction Is Rare
My sister and I are getting lunch at a restaurant. Our waitress is taking our order when this happens.
Waitress: “What will you be having?”
Sister: “Just a burger and fries.”
Waitress: “How would you like that cooked?”
Sister: “Medium, please.”
Waitress: “Sir?”
Me: “I’ll have the roasted chicken with potatoes, please.”
Waitress: “And how would you like that done?”
Me: “Wha?”
Waitress: “How would you like that done?”
Me: “I’m confused…”
My sister is now doubled over with laughter.
Waitress: *Mildly annoyed* “How. Well. Would. You. Like. Your. Chicken. Done?”
Me: *Amused now* “Let’s go for well-done.”
Waitress: *Snarkily* “Coming right up.”
Unfortunately — fortunately? — my roasted chicken did not come out burned to a crisp but was rather moist and tasty.
