Anything You Order I Order Better

Customer #1: “I’d like a house salad with fried chicken. That’s with ranch dressing.”

Me: “Okay then.” *turns to [Customer #2]* “And for you?”

Customer #2: “I want the exact same thing!”

Me: “Okay, two fried house salads.”

Customer #2: “Oh! I wanted mine with grilled chicken.”

Me: “Okay. So one grilled house and one fried house, both with ranch.”

Customer #2: “No. I want blue cheese dressing.”

Me: “Okay, so a fried house with ranch, and a grilled house with blue cheese. Is that all?”

Customer #2: “Yup!”

Me: “Alright, your total is going to be–”

Customer #2: “Oh! No cheese! I don’t like cheese.”

(I’ve already sent the order to the kitchen. I excuse myself to go let them know. I come back and take their money.)

Customer #2: *to [Customer #1]* “Isn’t it so much easier when we order the exact same thing?”
