Something Fishy About That Meat
(A couple sit down at a table in my section:)
Me: “Hi, welcome to [Restaurant]. I’ll be taking care of you tonight. Our dinner feature is our Friday night fish fry. Tonight we have cod.”
Man: “Your special, what exactly is that?”
Me: “Our cod is four flaky fillets that comes with fries and coleslaw, but if you would like you can exchange that for any two sides.”
Man: “Where is that listed on the menu?”
Me: “Right here, sir.” *I point to the menu, where it says “Friday Fish Fry” in large letters and the man starts looking over where I had showed him*
Woman: “I’ll have the roast beef dinner.”
Man: *to his wife* “Did you get fish?”
Woman: “No, I got the beef.”
Man: *to me* “That beef, is it meat?”
Me: “Uhm, yes.”
Man: “Are you sure it’s meat, not fish?”
Me: “Yes.”
Man: “Why don’t you have fish?”
Me: “We do. The cod I told you about right here is fish.”
Man: “Are you sure that it is fish and not meat?”
Me: “Yes.”
Man: “All right. I’ll have that, as long as it’s not meat.”
