Enough To Make You Sushi (Roll) Your Eyes
Me: “Good evening, [Sushi Restaurant], how can I help you?”
Caller: “Hi, can I get a Maryland roll with no sushi?”
Me: “Well, there is nothing called ‘sushi’ in that roll. Sushi isn’t an ingredient, it’s just what the roll is. It’s a sushi roll. There’s no raw fish or fish eggs in that roll, if that’s what you’re asking.”
Caller: “No, I just don’t want any sushi.”
Me: “Do you mean no seaweed or rice in the roll?”
Caller: “No, I want the seaweed and the rice. I just don’t want sushi in my Maryland roll.”
Me: “Okay, well, I can assure you there will be no ingredient called ‘sushi’ in your roll.”
(I put the roll through as usual, and when the caller came to pick it up, they didn’t complain. I still don’t know what they were asking.)
