    "Toast isn't food!"

    Have had the past few days off work. My best friend just got out of prison so I wanted to be there for him and help get him settled. So, it's my shift back, and the manager informs me the night before that there are going to be work men putting new flooring in the kitchen. OK, fair enough. Obviously that means we will not be serving food.

    So, before the bar opened, I collected in every single food menu, took down any menus off the walls, and printed off several dozen pieces of paper explaining why we weren't serving food. I put a note on every table, every entrance, every menu holder and every register.

    And the SC's still didn't read it.

    SC: Hi, I'd like to order some breakfast...
    Me: I'm really sorry, but we're not serving food at the moment, we are having work done in our kitchen.
    SC: OK then, I'll just have some toast.
    Me: Umm, I can't give you toast. I have no way of cooking it.
    SC: But toast isn't food! Why can't you give me toast?
    Me:

    Me: I'm sorry but we're not serving food today.
    SC: Then tell us where we can eat!
    Me: I actually know a great place about ten minutes walk from here...
    SC: We're not walking anywhere!

    How did they expect to get there?

    Some did read it.

    SC studies the note in front of the register.
    SC: Can I order breakfast?
    Me: I'm sorry but we're not serving food.
    SC: Yes I can see that on your note. I was just making sure it was real.
    Me:

    SC: Can I order some food please?
    Me: I'm afraid we're not serving food today.
    SC: I know, but I'm still going to get some.
    Me: What??

    Argh. Very tired right now. But hey, I'm having a good week. I've got my best friend back

    I wonder if this "toast isn't food" guy is the same guy that says "water is not a liquid" electronics dude.

      Or if it's the same sort of thing where thinly-sliced bacon counts as vegetarian...

        D'ough!

        If toast isn't food to him...what exactly does he use it for...?
        Hmmm.

              Toast is SO food.

              A very yummy food.

              One that I, unfortunately, don't get to have enough of.

              Oh, and it's also a song that has been on The Bob & Tom Show.

                  You know....Taco Bell isn't really food either, but people eat it.
                  Just because a customer expects you to put some effort into your job, that does not make them an SC.

                    That's what I was thinking as well. Probably not the best joke a business can pull, but hey--at least they have a sense of humour, right?

                      The way I read the customer thought it was a joke when it was true.
