  • a strip, please...?

    OH, how I thought the SCs would just disappear...
    How wrong I was. To briefly explain my hiatus from telling horrible stories, I actually had no job for a while. My boss decided that because I went to France (for school), somehow that equated my lack of desire to keep my job. So, while I was gone, I was put on suspension....
    Anyways, I was yelled at by my manager upon returning, and then promptly given my job back.
    I'd like to think that's a good thing...but then the SCs start rolling in full-force.

    So...more stories from the Pit of Despair.

    Tell me why this doesn't sound quite right...

    SL: Stupid Lady
    Me: *sigh* Still here, still listening to people spout nothing but stupid

    SL: I would like this breakfast, but with three strips of this.
    Me: Bacon? (Logical guess, right? If you're nodding, then you are WRONG)
    SL: No, I want this!!!! *points to glossy photo of sausage links*
    Me: You mean you would like three links of sausage?
    SL: NO, I want three STRIPS of sausage!
    Me:
    SL: You know what I mean right?
    Me: You want three pieces of sausage and no bacon, is what you mean. I think you mean sausage links, not strips.
    SL: I meant strips.
    Me:...Usually that's a term reserved for bacon, ma'am.
    SL: Well, I call them strips of sausage. Because they aren't really links.
    Me: *sigh*

    Not just a delicious breakfast meat...but also an appetizer!!!

    Warning: This post is also sausage-centric. It was a weird, sausage filled week.

    SLG: Sausage loving guy
    Me: Still confused over the use of "strip" to describe a piece of sausage.

    Me: Would you care for anything to drink while you're looking at the menu? Maybe an iced tea, or pepsi or -
    SLG: I would like 6 sausages to start.
    Me: *obviously puzzled* As an appetizer?
    SLG: Yes, as an appetizer. And also a pepsi.
    Me: Erm...okay.
    *walks away to get his drink and his delicious sausage-y prequel to his meal, then returns to the table to deliver sausage + pepsi*
    Me: Were you ready to order your meal as well?
    SLG: Yes. *proceeds to order HUGE dinner meal*
    Me: Anything else for you right now?
    SLG: I would also like more sausage please. And a side of ranch.
    Me: *visible cringe* 6 more sausages?
    SLG: Yes, please.
    Me: Okay...as an appetizer again?
    SLG: Yes.
    Me: Okay....(?)

    Basically, SLG ate 12 sausage l - oh! Excuse me, I meant sausage strips- by his lonesome. Kind of disgusting, when you think about it. However, he also consumed 4 pieces of salmon, some rice, and veggies...and a salad. Gross. I really hope he wasn't putting the sausages on his salad.

    Okay, I have officially typed "sausage" about 20 times too many in this post....I think my quota is up.

      Who cares if someone calls them "links", "strips", "pieces", or "sausages".

      It's still not bacon.
      I was not hired to respond to those voices.

        12 sausages ... oh, sounds so good. Nice breakfast sausages with some REAL Maple syrup on them ... oh my. Pork + pork fat + spices = culinary joy.

        ON THE OTHER HAND ... 12 of them as an appetizer with RANCH .... oh, god, sounds like something that would induce the gastro-intestinal version of a tranny slam.

            Wait.....what?

            So my fence is really a chain stripped fence?
            Just because a customer expects you to put some effort into your job, that does not make them an SC.

              Sounds to me like she was going in there wanting to fight someone about what she calls the sausage. I mean, really, why the heck else would she say 'I want three strips of this." instead of saying sausage?

                I would've been sooo tempted to brightly chirp "Sure thing!" and slice three tiny layers off of a link of sausage and hand them to her.

                "But madam, you did ask for strips. What was I to think? "

                  "I've decided to ignore the conventional title for this food and create my own, based on a silly and irrelevant observation of mine. What, you don't immediately know what it is? Are you stupid!?"

                  Seriously, what the heck? Does she think that just because she thinks it up it materializes in the real world and becomes a part of the english language automatically?

                  As for the sausage appetizers... oh, gross, my stomach feels greasy just thinking about it.

                      I don't get what's wrong with the last story. Apparently the guy just really loves the sausage...

                      Seriously though, that's a lot of food. Pretty disgusting.

                          But a salad makes it health food.

                          God what’s with the sausage fest? All you talk about is sausage, sausage, sausage.

                          Well I have one word for you missy: “Penis.”
                          How was I supposed to know someone was slipping you Birth Control in the food I've been making for you lately?

                            Oh, please, please, PLEASE tell me he was not dipping sausage into ranch dressing!?

                            I think I've lost my appetite. Possibly permanently.

                            On the mental image I got when I read the sausage-centric post -

                              She's an SC. So yes. Yes she does.

                              Besides words, there are other thing SCs think they can call into existence by thinking them up. Among them are: discounts, products, policies, laws...
                              The best karma is letting a jerk bash himself senseless on the wall of your polite indifference.
