Too Chicken To Order Anything Else
(A middle-aged man comes in when I am working the register.)
Me: “Welcome to [Restaurant]. How can I help you?”
Customer: “What’s the difference between the pork loin sandwich and the chicken sandwich?”
(I stand there trying to figure out how to tell him that one is pork and one is chicken without sounding like I think he’s an idiot, but before I can say anything, he changes his question.)
Customer: “Which one’s bigger?”
Me: “They’re about the same size.”
Customer: “I’ll have the chicken.”
(The rest of the transaction went smoothly, and he got his food and left. He came in about once a week for the rest of the summer. No matter which employee took his order, he always asked the same questions and always ended up ordering the chicken.)
