Regular burger.

[NightAngel]

There was a time (and I remember it) when most restaurants/ fast food places only had 2 sizes of drink. Those sizes were Small and Regular. If you did not specify a drink size it was assumed you wanted a Regular.

Today's Medium is yesterday's Regular.

I noticed that most of the "regular" customers were the ones that were like 90 years old. I guess that's the reason why. I remember the "regular" size was still available at some restaurants as recent as the early 80's.

Mmmmm Dick's

There's a place that still does that around here, called Dick's. I like that place, you get your food just like that.

OOOOOH Dick's, how I miss thee. That is one of the worst things about moving away from Seattle. No Dick's. Heehee.

When I wear my Dick's shirt here everyone looks at me like I'm innapropriate.

I want a Dick's Deluxe and some soggy fries, please...

Most of my regular burger customers are fairly elderly as well.

We've only got one size drink, but people are constantly tacking "small" or "large" on their orders, reflexively. What happens is after they order their large drink they ignore the sign that says "cups over here" and berate me for not giving them their cup. When I point out that the cups are next to the machine, they go over there and proceed to ask, "where are the large cups? I ordered a large!" Then I have to assure them that whereas they ordered a large I rang them up for just a fountain drink, as we have only one size. They usually feel they're being ripped off in some fashion. Seriously, why have more than one size if you have free refills? A small is a large with more walking.

The standard burger-joint protocol should not provide people with this much difficulty.

Can you just tell people to burger off? XD Sorry, that was bad.

Yes, it was. Bad puns are not really allowed here.

I mean, if they lettuce get away with such things, this whole site would be in quite a pickle. It might go to seed. Though I dougt that, since the administration here is not known for sitting on their buns. Frankly, I think they ketchup to problems rather quickly, and attack them with some relish. And if YOU are the one they think is causing problems, they WILL grill you. Yes, these mods really cut the mustard, if you ask me. I mayo be accused of brownnosing here, but I really think they more than meat expectations. So please, stop with the bad puns, or we may all get fried!

I once had a customer (back in my food service days) ask for "a cheeseburger, with no cheese." No joke!

I once had a coworker order a bacon cheeseburger, with no bacon, as they couldn't find the button for cheeseburger. Yes, we seriously roasted the guy.

That is, actually, not so uncommon or weird. A number of places have cheeseburgers on the menu, but no plain hamburgers. Take my boss. He loves Wendy's and always gets a double and fries. He doesn't want a combo. He doesn't want a cheeseburger. He just wasn't a 1/2 lbs. double. But the only double on the menu is a double WITH cheese, so he has to order it as a double cheeseburger WITHOUT cheese.

*shrug* If they would just have a plain one on the menu there wouldn't be problems like that. Though if there IS a plain burger and someone orders like that, well, they're just mental!

And yet somehow I am still remarkably single. Go figger.

[Rapscallion]

I'd count that as winning.
