Double The Pasta, Half The Sense
(I am working the sauté pasta station at a buffet in a casino. There are four types of pasta, three types of meat, assorted vegetables and aromatics, and two standard sauces — marinara and alfredo — to customize your pasta. It’s not unusual for people to request two types of pasta in one dish.)
Customer: “Fettuccine linguine with chicken.”
Me: “What kind of sauce?”
Customer: “Fettuccine linguine and chicken.”
Me: “What kind of sauce?”
Customer: “FETTUCCINE LINGUINE AND CHICKEN!”
Me: “WHAT KIND OF SAUCE?”
Customer: “OH, MY GOD! HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE?! I SAID FETTUCCINE LING… ALFREDO! CRAP, I MEANT ALFREDO!”
Me: *passive aggressively prepares his pasta with both fettuccine and linguine*
