We don't serve food that isn't "nice"

[justZu]

I'm sure he would have been quite horrified by my idea of a "nice" burger. I love a burger that is nearly uncooked with lots of salt and cheese and just a little bit of ketchup. Of course, I almost never eat that because it is asking for food poisoning and high blood pressure but that is my idea of a nice burger.

And you received less than 10% tip because you were a terrible waitress by not instinctively reading his mind and knowing exactly what he wanted. How dare you expect him to actually know what he wanted on his own burger!


Also - Welcome to CS.

"Hey sir, a nice burger, to me, has everything possible on it and so much meat it's literally falling out of the sandwich. A garbage burger it is!" And yes, I love Max & Erma's. Mmmmmm...DAMMIT, NOW I'M HUNGRY.

[Becks]

If I had that guy, and all he asked for a was a nice burger, I would have gotten him the most plain burger possible.

I would do the same.

Well, maybe have some lettuce and tomato slices ready on the side, but you all know what I mean.

[TruthHurts]

I'm sorry sir all our burgers come from ill-tempered cows, there's not a nice one in the bunch I'm afraid.

[gunsage]

Sorta like what you said, but... "Sorry sir, all our meat comes from...'mad' cows." Thank you, I'll be here all night.

Hmmm . . a "nice" burger . . .

Well, I guess as long as it isn't talking back to you, then it's a nice burger.

I would have gotten him a veggie burger.

SC: Just get me a nice burger! A nice burger!
Me: OK, so would you just like the classic burger?
SC: Just a nice burger. Put some nice stuff on it for me.
Me: What would you like on it? You can add mushrooms, cheese, etc
SC: Just put some nice stuff on it!

"Okay sir, I have you down for a wasabi and sauerkraut burger, with extra Limburger cheese. Is that 'nice' for you?"

Or you could bring him one that's still frozen and say, "Sorry, I thought you wanted 'an ice burger'!"

"Okay sir, I have you down for a wasabi and sauerkraut burger, with extra Limburger cheese. Is that 'nice' for you?"

I have got to try one of those. Where can I get one?

[mattm04]

Asking the server questions about a specific burger, or for any recommendations is normal. If it were me i would have gotten him a WELL done burger with no toppings on un-toasted roll. If it had any seeds on it, I would have scraped them off. Serve smack dab in the middle of a plate, no fries or anything.

Limburger cheese sounds so good right now. So does liverwurst for some reason.

Not completely the same, but when I have customers who tell me to 'Oh, just book me anywhere' when I ask where they'd like to stay, hotel-wise.

Um, no. I can help you narrow it down...I'll help you by giving you several options based upon amenities, price or location, etc - whatever your criteria is. But I *will not* just randomly pick a hotel for you.

Oddly enough, these same people who want me to choose a hotel for them often seem to be the type that have a airplane seat request like "Opposite of the sunny side of the plane, window seat if over 4 hours, aisle seat if under 4 hours. Never the front of the plane and never the rear, but not over the wing"



Cuz' in SC logic, seating on a plane is MUCH more important than where you spend the night.

[Shadowwalker]

i would've put some sugar and spice and everything nice on his nice hamburger maybe some pixie dust and unicorns and cotton candy hmmmmmm... the possibilities are endless!

Makes sense to me, actually. On a plane, you're stuck there for however many hours, no where to go, limited entertainment opportunities, and all the rest.

Hotel, you've got a chance that you're only going to be in the room to sleep, so who cares what it's like.

I'll never know why but somehow that reminded me of Charlie The Unicorn.

Would you fill it with Joyness, too?
