So, at the cafeteria we do things a little differently than most restaurants. Because our grill operation is so small we do not use receipts, checks, numbers, computers, or any other system that the average operation uses to keep track of and call out orders. Basically, the way it works is that you tell me what you want, I tell my awesome grill lady what you want, she cooks it, and she yells out the order when its finished and placed on the counter. Now, this can cause some confusion, especially when multiple people order the same thing at the same time eg. 4 turkey burgers back to back. But then, we had this customer:
Me: obvious
CW: great grill cook
SC: you know
SC: hi, I would like two cheese burgers and two orders of onion rings (it should be noted that I cook all the fry orders)
Me: Okay, just go over there *points* to wait to pick up your items
About a minute later I hand him the hot delicious beer battered onion rings.
Then CW calls out the order of a turkey burger from someone that had ordered earlier
SC: I ordered two cheese burgers!
CW: Yes, I know sir, that's a turkey burger, it's for another customer.
SC: So where are my cheese burgers!
CW: they are cooking *points to burgers that are on the grill in plain sight of customers*
About a minute latter CW plates up a couple of chicken sandwiches
CW: Two chicken sandwiches!
SC: I ordered two Cheese burgers!
CW: *getting annoyed* Yes, and those are chicken sandwiches, they are not for you.
SC: I want cheese burgers!
CW: *now very annoyed* and those are chicken sandwiches.
SC: That's it. *motions at daughter who looks quite embarrassed* We're not putting up with this nonsense, we're leaving.
They leave with the father in a huff and about two seconds latter their cheese burgers where put out on the counter for someone else to enjoy.
The worst part is that when I went on my break I saw that they left behind their trays and on them sat two orders of onion rings which were now soggy and disgusting.
Can you tell I like onion rings? especially when I am making them, lol.
