Back when I worked at Burger King in high school, there was me and a stoner running the late shift. I'm running the drive through and the guy wants a Whopper, plain but heavy, heavy, heavy, [...], heavy, heavy pickles. I push the "heavy pickles" button about 7 times. He probably said it 15-20. The stoner starts giggling and says "I'LL GIVE THIS FUCKER JUST WHAT HE ASKED FOR." He proceeds to put, easily, 100 pickle slices on the sandwich. At this point it's a pickle burger with a little meat. It goes out the window and we go about our day.
Manager gets a call about 15 minutes later. Guy calls in and asks to talk to the person who made his sandwich. Manager says "sigh, what did he do this time?" Guy says he's been eating at Burger King for 15 years and this was the first person to make his Whopper the way he wanted.
I struggle with spices. I make it clear at every Indian/Thai places that they should pretend I am from their country in terms of spice levels. That they literally can not make it to spicy even if they tried. That I want them to gag and cough and cry just being in the same room as my food. And yet all of them fail me.
Try Tibetan. It's a kind of spicy I've never experienced before or since. I'm not a huge spiciness fan, but it's totally different from the spiciness of Indian or Thai food, the spiciness of Mexican food or even the spiciness of horseradish. I do know that I took a Mexican friend to a Tibetan restaurant and he bravely ordered the hottest level of spiciness and said he totally regretted it.
Just give me all the bacon and eggs olives you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of bacon and eggs olives." What I said was, "Give me all the bacon and eggs olives you have". Do you understand?
You realize tomatoes are not native to Europe at all? They are native to South America and weren't introduced to Italy until the 1500s. Even if you consider pizza at all to be Italian, the pizzas we know are a far cry from true Italian pizza.
I went to Olive Garden restaurant once with a friend of mine, and during dinner he made the claim that Olive Garden consumes 20% of the world's black olive supply. I couldn't convince him of how ludicrous this was even despite pointing out the measly two slices of black olive in our shared salad bowl.
in what country do pizzas cost $30? edit: damn your pizzas are either huge or expensive, here in finland a standard pizza costs about 12€ and with 25€ you get heavenly pizza made with the best ingredients baked in a wood fired oven. And i thought food here was expensive
I live in nyc. You can get large plain pie for $18 from most places. Toppings are usually about $4 each.
But there are expensive places. At work we ordered some pies for an in-office event last week. The guy picked a fancy place where all the pies were at least $30.
That's what I thought.
Imagine paying 30 bucks for a pizza in (I assume) the US and then be expected to give a six dollar tip. Brutal. I'd never order in.
Eh pizza from these types of restaurants already isn't that healthy to begin with and your body can more than tank the effects of an occasional special treat like this.
I worked at subway forever ago and they trained us to put like 3 olive slices at a time per 6inch. If they asked for more we were specifically told to keep doing 3 at a time because most people feel too awkward to keep asking repeatedly. I always felt like such an asshole sprinkling them on while they stared at me in disbelief at my stinginess...
Hey i just sent this to my brother saying "me at subway"
Thanks for sharing this because now i know it's not that they aren't understanding me but that this is standard operating procedure for the workers. Ill try to have fun with it and try to make it less painful for them in the future.
Nah, it's a lonely birthday order. Those have immunity before the pizza criminal courts. As have "I was just cheated on" and "my pet died* orders. Ohy and "fuck this sounds disgusting but I'm pregnant so this ain't even the weirdest shit I've eaten in the last week " orders
I believe the exception is towards ordering to satisfy strong emotions. There are exceptions to the exception, but yeah. Pizza ordered to assist with the processing of significant feels is generally exempt from litigation.
