To BLT, Or Not To BLT

(My father goes into a regional chain takeout restaurant that just opened in our area. Overall the food is wonderful there, but several staff members seem to think cheese goes on everything, regardless of how some things are traditionally made.)

Worker: “What can I get for you, sir?”

Father: “I’d like a BLT, please.”

(The overhead menu clearly states they offer a classic BLT, with no added flourishes.)

Worker: “Certainly, with what kind of cheese?”

Father: “Okay, let’s look at the letters, shall we? The B is for bacon, the L is for lettuce and the T is for tomato. There’s no C for cheese, is there?”

Worker: “So, no cheese?”

Father: “No, thank you.”

(The place lasted less than a year, most likely due to being in a difficult location to drive into, though we did hear of other orders getting mixed up quite often, cheese related or not.)
