    I feel like chicken tonight

    We had a very busy day. The UK is going through a massive heatwave, and with me working in a seaside pub, we are a lot busier than we usually are. People were coming straight from the beach for something to eat, and because of this, we ran out of a few things. The main thing we ran out of was chicken. Simple right? We had no chicken

    So then we get Stupid Lady.

    SL: Hi there, could I place a food order?
    Me: Sure, what can I get you?
    SL: The chicken salad.
    Me: Oh, I'm sorry, we have run out of chicken! Is there anything else you would like?
    SL: OK then, can I have the BBQ chicken?
    Me: Oh...we have no chicken...
    SL: The chicken pasta?
    Me: We have no chicken.
    SL: The chicken sandwich?
    Me: We have no chicken.
    SL: *lets out a massive sigh* Then what DO you have??
    Me: Anything but chicken.
    SL: This is ridiculous. I'm going to have to go back to my table and think about this!
    Me:

    I bet it sucked to run out of a major staple food like chicken. I'm just hoping she was old and maybe a little senile. Otherwise that's pitiful. Though, she sounds exactly like the lady i had to deal with tonight. I'm going to make her into her own post though. Worst day i've had in years.

        Nope, she was mid-thirties at the most.

          What part of "we have no chicken" did she not understand?!

            I think it was the "C".










            When my kids were little, I'd ask what part of no don't you understand and one day my son looked at me and said "the n". I about died laughing at him.

              Honestly, it's because most people don't really THINK about what's in what they eat. This is evidenced by the fact that people are surprised I don't eat fish. (I'm a vegetarian.) Um, last I checked, fish isn't a vegetable.

                This goes along with my theory that everyone wants the same thing. Tomorrow they'll all want pork.

                  I have encountered people -- both vegetarians and meatatarians -- who interpret the term as meaning "no RED meat or poultry". Overwhelming evidence seems to suggest that they're wrong, but...

                      LOL @ meatatarians.

                      I do get that that's the reason they're confused. Still find it hilarious.

                        It's also evidenced by the fact that people shove more artificial food into their gullet than real food nowadays.


                        It's also evidenced by the fact of the sheer amount of people who don't WANT to know where their food comes from, and unfortunately, my sister is very guilty of this.

                        We were having steak once, and I made a joke when I took the first bite and said "mmm... dead cow flesh", and she not only didn't find it unfunny, but was actually DISGUSTED by the remark...


                        Seriously people, that's what you're eating! Get over it! Learn about your food!

                            Wait. steak is from a cow? I thought it came from the supermarket.

                              Aren't people WEIRD? I was in Pizza Hut the other day and they had no goats cheese left for the goats cheese melt. I simply picked another pizza. Easy.
