customer, having been in like for ten minutes, gazing at our menu: so what do i do?
me: i mean its a. you buy food here. so tell me the food that you want
customer: so do i pick three?
me: i dont understand what ur saying, three of what
customer: i want three of these appetizers, but as sides, in an order
me: okay. i can technically do that but. they are all appetizers and i cant alter the portion size, so if i ring you up for that, its going to cost you like forty dollars and ur gonna yell at me
customer: ive started yelling at you
me: look the food is helpfully organized into dishes, sides, and appetizers. just pick a dish and two sides
customer: i want four sides, and no dishes
me: there is no way for me to ring that up so that it doesn’t cost way too much and also confuse our non english speaking head chef, who will come out here and beat me to death for ringing up a stupid order
customer: whats THIS ///pointing at visible food
customer: i want this, but with mushrooms
me: youve described an item that isnt on the menu. we cant just. you understand that we have a finite number of ingredients that we use to make a finite number of foods, right?
customer, pointing to an option helpfully labeled as gluten free: does this have gluten?
me: when it has a G next to it that means it has no gluten
customer: can you make this, but without gluten?
me: no, im sorry, we cant do that.
customer: okay, i just want wine then
me: okay, which wine from our list?
me, paid by the hour and willing to stand here and answer questions all day: there are a lot of people behind you in line
