Tastes Like Chicken
Me: *answering the phone* “Hello, [Buffet]…”
Customer: “Um, yes, I need to order something. Um, I just don’t know what it is. Can you tell me?”
Me: “Maybe can you describe it?”
Customer: “Uhhh, yeah, it had some sort of meat and a sauce and vegetables…”
(We have over a hundred items on our menu, almost ALL of them have a meat/vegetable/sauce combination.)
Me: “Well, do you know if it was chicken or beef?”
Customer: “No.”
Me: “Well, was it spicy or sweet?”
Customer: “I don’t know.”
Me: “What sort of vegetables we in it?”
Customer: “Just regular ones.”
Me: “Ma’am, we have over a hundred items on our menu, most of them being a combination of meat, vegetable, and a sauce. If you can remember something specific about it I might be able to guess what you had since I’m familiar with the items on the menu. Is there ANYTHING you remember about it?”
Customer: “Yeah I told you, it was really good and had meat in it!”
Me: *gives up* “I’m sorry, ma’am, I’m not sure what you had.”
