apocalypsosSpotted on Not Always Right ...
(Our restaurant is in walking distance of an assisted living center so many of regulars are special needs adults. We get a regular group of four people who have to make their order the same way every time. The routine involves the four of them reading the menu board for about five minutes and then one of them ordering each of them a hamburger individually.)
Me: “Hey! What can I get you?”
Special Needs Adult: “I would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger.”
(An agitated customer who has been standing in line behind the group the entire time chimes in.)
Customer: “He would like four hamburgers. Can we hurry this up?”
Special Needs Adult: “No! I would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger.”
Customer: “Oh my god!”
Me: “So if I got this right you would like a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger and a hamburger?”
Special Needs Adult: “Yes, that’s right!”
Me: “You know what I think you need? A high five!”
Special Needs Adult: “You know I do!”
(I high five the guy over the counter and the other three all take a turn getting a high five.)
Customer: “This is just ridiculous!” *storms out of the store*
