Orange juice with pulp without pulp...this will blow your mind

[flutes_and_fabric]

Just reminded of this one from the If you're that picky stay at home thread. Here was this woman's breakfast order:

scrambled eggs, medium well (still don't know how medium well eggs are cooked)

toast, crisped to this color (she had a paint sample which she pulled out of her wallet for us to match her toast to. Not making this up.)

bacon, extra crispy (exactly how I like mine)

sausage (just one, cut in half. It had to be cut in half...because...I don't know why. I guess she just didn't want to pick up a knife...or a fork...maybe she eats with her hands...and is toothless? I didn't notice.)

Home fries, no onion (couldn't really be done because the ingredients are all prepped before service, so she subbed for extra bacon. But it did ruin the whole meal in her opinion. How can extra bacon ruin anything!?)

Fruit salad, but it must be in a soup bowl, not a fruit cup (which for us was really the same thing)

And the best part!

SC: And please, some pulp orange juice without pulp.
Me: Ok, and some...wa? Wait, you mean pulp free orange juice?
SC: No, pulp without pulp.
Me: We carry orange juice both with pulp, and without. Which would you like.
SC: With
Me: Ok
SC: Without
Me:...which is it?
SC: PULP ORANGE JUICE WITHOUT PULP!
Me: You realize that is the same as non pulp orange juice, right?
SC: YES!
Me: Ok, one non pulp orange juice.
SC: NONONONONONONO! WITHOUT PULP!
Me: That's what non pulp means. Without pulp!
SC: No, pulp without pulp!
Me:...so, you want to fish the pulp out of a glass of orange juice with the pulp.
SC: Yes
Me: Making it pulp free orange juice
SC: Yes
Me: So you want a glass of our pulp free orange juice?
SC: NO!!!!!!! Pulp without pulp!
Me: Can do (I just poured her a glass of the pulp free stuff because I didn't feel like grabbing a strainer down from the shelf. She didn't say anything.)

Spent 20 minutes taking this woman's order because she repeated everything 4 or 5 times even after I repeated it back to her so she knew I had it. Price of the meal for her and her daughter: $20. Tip: $.33 (I have no idea where this random ass number came from. I know she had more change than that since she took 10 minutes paying and had to count everything out multiple times before she actually gave me the payment.

People like that should just cook their own damn breakfast.

[42_42_42]

WTF! Did she think that ordering her juice that way would mean she was getting fresh-squeezed or something?

People like that should not be allowed in restaurants.

[HYHYBT]

No, I don't want a hot chocolate! I want a MOCHA with no coffee!

[Amethyst Hunter]

I like orange juice - the pulpier the better. :9

[mattm04]

Ow. My brain.

I'm surprised she paid after the horrible homefry issue and didn't find some issue with the toast.

[Erin]

Extra bacon would perfect the meal! I love bacon! Best part of the pig. I'd like to build a statue to honor the person who figured out where the bacon was on a pig and how to cook it....because bacon is my favorite part of the pig. Mmmm! Bacon....*drool*


She sounds she was a bit obsessive compulsive...and an asshat.

[flutes_and_fabric]

No, I don't want a hot chocolate! I want a MOCHA with no coffee!

Mmmm, serendipity's frozen hot chocolate it good.

It seems like she has severe severe obsessive compulsive disorder.

[dalesys]

It seems like she has severe severe obsessive repulsive disorder.

Corrected minor misstatement

[Green_Fairy]

yeah...i was thinking OCD with a side of some other condition. like...aspergers or something. but she was overly rude...

[flutes_and_fabric]

Definite control issues. I dunno, something was going on.

On a semi related note, we can already tell that my 4 year old nephew has OCD. He must line everything up evenly spaced, and during xmas the ornaments must be in a certain place on the tree or else he rearranges them. He also yelled at me to clean my room, and then told me where to put everything (a 3 year old) We thought it might affect him at school (just started pre-k) but so far he's very good with the other children. He's gotten over his fear of getting stuff on his hands (he used to stick his hands in dip-like for chips- and then would freak the f*** out. But, he also didn't like people washing his hands, but only when there's something on them. He does just fine washing his hands after going to the bathroom.)

And another semi unrelated, my grandparents just got here for passover and we had to unload all their crap. So much food. There must be bags and bags of frozen American cheese, and I know my gpa gets it from restaurants. He always orders the cheese on the side cause he hates it. I think they just don't like throwing stuff out so they lug it all the way down here for us to toss it in the trashcan (when they're not looking of course)

[depechemodefan]

pulp without pulp...so like you think, she wanted you to strain the pulpy oj so it won't have pulp? Maybe she's hyper sensitive and could tell you didn't do it that way so she left you a lousy tip. Though most likely, she's a bitch and if you had served her breakfast on fine china she would have left you this lousy tip.

Now I'm thkiniking about the story about the person who wanted a cheeseburger (even paid for it) but didn't want the cheese.

Dunno if you even need the OCD in that mix. I have some compulsive tendencies often, and I think it might be in the official descriptions. (And obsessive behaviour is definitely linked with Asperger's).

[Chromatix]

I'm leaning towards Asperger's *not* being the primary cause of that, simply due to the lack of logic. OCD sounds more plausible to me.
