Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Upside-Down Menu

[Lace Neil Singer]

CW: Baguettes?
Me: No. We have no bread related products. No bread, no rolls, no buns, no baguettes. Nothing.
CW: OK, but the stupid customer keeps sending me in to ask!

"No buns, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no potato cakes and no hot cross buns. And definitely no smegging flapjacks!"

As always, cookie for the reference. XD

As for vegetarian lady; she sounds like a total crank. -.- I bet that some restaurants she goes to deliberately drip meat juice on her meals cuz of the fuss she makes. O_o Not right, but making a giant fuss like that will not endear you to cooks at all.

The friendly local Talkie Toaster?

[Lace Neil Singer]

Yup, that's it! XD Strangely, that instantly sprang to mind when I read about the no bread.

[CaptainThrifty]

Those are the times I wish I were a customer in there and heard that. I'd have loved to go up to the guy and told him I turned the menu around just to screw with his head.

Pleeeeeeezzze

I'm a vegetarian (boarding on vegan-eating at times) and I know if I go to a pub or "regular" resteraunt the cooks will be handeling meat (though I do hope not their own at the time) That's why there are vegan places or your own kitchen

Though just to give her one grain of brown rice of credibility....she may have been allergic to meat ( I had a friend who was). Though if that was the case, she shouldn't have been there


Not all of us tofu-chugging dirty tree huggers are like that!

World not Black and White?

HEAD ASPLODE!

Just remember that in order to stop the toast talk, you need a ten-pound lump hammer and a garbage disposal.

I didn't handle meat yesterday, but, unfortunately, I did stare really hard at a couple of cows, guess I'm out.

High Five Dwarfer, you're not alone in strangeness either, it instantly sprang to my mind too

[Lace Neil Singer]

There's just no way of resisting it, is there?

I'm wondering if she wasn't a recent convert, myself. Long time vegetarians and vegans, in my experience, tend to mellow out a bit.

I wasn't like that even when I started out. There's an asian grill place I go to that will rinse the grill with water (maybe, if they remember) before making my veggie dish. I don't care. The whole point is that an animal didn't need to die for my dinner. I'm sure I unknowingly consume things I'd rather not when I eat out, and that's ok. It's all about intent. I make an effort. That's good enough.

[Broomjockey]

people, can we drop the vegetarian/vegan stuff? It's too easy to slip to Fratching. If you want to specifically discuss the customer's behaviour in the post, fine, but that is all.

[Chromatix]

Re the Talkie Toaster reference: you "smegging" gave it away.

About as much chance as lister resisting puting ketchup on lobster (brown mind you, gotaa have a bit of class)
