It *comes* with fries ...
Went to lunch today, there's this place overlooking a river
where you can have a nice lunch and a beer or a bloody mary, whatever. Peanut shells on the floor, that kind of place. New bartender. The bartenders there are *always* young guys. They tend to stay for a long time, so they get to know what you drink, like that. So, this is a new guy. With that 'I'm a hotshot, I'm the bartender' attitude. I ordered eggplant parmagiana, and I really had a jones for fries. For whatever reason, I really wanted fries. You get a choice, linguine or french fries, so when I ordered I said, and I'd like that with fries. He said, It *comes* with fries. I don't think I looked like what I was thinking, but I was thinking Wiseguy, huh? We'll see. Didn't say anything. We're waiting, hanging out, shooting the breeze and watching this guy bumbling around. Ron says, bet you don't get fries, I was laughing. Yeah, I'm so not getting fries. Yes, lunch arrives, it's got the linguine, Ron said instantly, she wanted that with fries? Not really so nice, closer to She wanted that with *fries*. Oh. It usually comes with fries, you want fries? Yes, I really do want fries. Hey, when you want fries, nothing else will do! Of course he called in for fries, brought them over, this always comes with fries at lunch. Not one word escaped my lips but I have this all the time here at lunch, it comes with a choice. Whatever. Funny, I like ketchup with my fries, had to leave the bar and steal it from an empty table. I know, ketchup with fries, what a weirdo. Guy walks away and Ron says, I hope the bartender's retirement plan isn't counting on the tip he gets from us today. So funny. Didn't really cheap out on the tip, how low can a tip go when lunch for two with a beer comes to 19 bucks. And the way those guys stay, that long memory that remembers what you drink most likely remembers a bad tip. We walk out and Ron says, It *comes* with fries with that same snotty attitude the guy had. Funny. nancy |

It usually comes with fries, you want fries? Yes, I > really do want fries. Sounds like when my wife & I used to go to Burgerville, she'd order a burger with Ketchup only, they'd ALWAYS question it or get it wrong, or both. The Burger King near my house seems to ALWAYS get at LEAST one thing wrong on orders, it's gotten so bad, my Wife, son & I went to a totally different FF joint for breakfast one day, he asked for coke or milk one, she ordered OJ, he broke down upset because they "got it wrong" he thought the OJ was for him. He's 5 btw |

Fast food places, I have had some experiences and I don't even ask for anything special. Doesn't seem like it would be so difficult. nancy |

Peanut shells on the floor, that kind of place. I'm wary of April fools gags. A restaurant that sells eggplant parm, french fries (with ketchup), beer, Bloody Marys and has peanut shells on the floor? Hmmm...I"ve always taken you at your word, sistah!! At least you didn't do a slip and fall on the peanut shells like someone else we know. Otherwise, Blair would be here demanding that you sue. |

Yes, he lived across the river from that restaurant, as do assorted other celebrities. Now it's Geraldo Rivera's ex wife's house. Geraldo used to take his boat from there to Manhattan. nancy |

rummaged among random neurons and opined: >Went to lunch today, there's this place overlooking a river >where you can have a nice lunch and a beer or a bloody mary, >whatever. Peanut shells on the floor, that kind of place. > <snip of story where order is messed up> The DH and I went to Fatburger, where the DH ordered his usual bacon cheeseburger w/o tomato or dill relish and I ordered a chili dog with mustard as the only condiment. Counter clerk: "Huh? You only want mustard?" Me: "Yes, mustard, solamente. Nothing else, just mustard." "You sure you don't want nothing else?" "Positive. Just mustard on the chili dog." Our order is delivered. The DH is perfect. My chili dog has mustard, ketchup, onions and cheese. I repeat my request for a chili dog with *only* mustard as a condiment. Again get a chili dog with other stuff on it besides mustard *and* sauerkraut as a final insult. Finally went to the counter where the short order cooks place the food to be topped off by other counter staff, watched them put my chili dog out for toppings, watched the counter staff put on the mustard and said (channeling Meat Loaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Light"), "Stop right there! Before you go any further, that's the *only* condiment I want on that chili dog!" I'm told that "...nobody wants a chili dog with just mustard, lady." <sigh> Sometimes very simple isn't.
