If You’re Willing To Pay Extra Some Of Our Steaks Are Legendary Or Mythical!

Customer: “This steak is still pink in the middle.”

Me: “You ordered it rare, sir.”

Customer: “Yes, I ordered it rare, but I still expect the steak to be cooked!” 

I pause for a moment, but then the customer’s friend comes in for an assist.

Customer’s Friend: “[Customer], what do you think rare means?”

Customer: *Now sounding a little less sure.* “That… it… comes from a rare cow?”

Me: “It means it’s been cooked just enough to sear the outside of the cut of meat, keeping the inside red.”

Customer: “Oh. So, it’s not like… a rare type of cow?”

Customer’s Friend: “[Customer], these are farm animals, not Pokémon!”

Customer: *Embarassed.*

Me: “Would you like me to take the steak back and ask the kitchen to cook it a little more, sir? Enough to make it brown in the middle?”

Customer: “Yes, please.”

Customer’s Friend: “And make sure it’s from a shiny cow!”

Customer: “Oh, shut up.”
