CHEESEBURGER

[trof]

But no bacon.
Bacon Cheeseburger came later.

1. And this is what they had to put up with when they came out with that variation:

Can’t Spell Without Without With
Fast Food, Restaurant | Winnipeg, MB, Canada | Food & Drink

(A customer pulls up in our drive thru. Note that our bacon cheeseburger is made exactly the same as our cheeseburger, except for the bacon. The bacon cheeseburger is also more expensive.)

Me: “Hi there, what can I get for you today?”

Customer: “Hi, I’d like a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon. Just mayonnaise and ketchup.”

Me: “Okay, so a cheeseburger with only mayo and ketchup.”

Customer: “No, a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon, and only mayonnaise and ketchup.”

Me: “Well, our cheeseburger is made exactly the way we make our bacon cheeseburger, except it has bacon on it and it costs more. So a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon is a cheeseburger.”

Customer: “NO! You don’t understand! I want a BACON CHEESEBURGER, with NO BACON, just mayonnaise and ketchup!”

Me: “I understand ma’am, but if I charge you for a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon, it’s more expensive than buying a cheeseburger, which is the same thing.”

Customer: “I DON’T CARE! I want a bacon cheeseburger with NO BACON! Just mayonnaise and ketchup!”

Me: “All right then.” *charges her for a bacon cheeseburger with no bacon* “That will be $*.** at the first window.”

(The customer comes up to the window and reads her receipt, looking satisfied.

Customer: “Now, was that so hard?”

:P

8. When I was in Salzburg, the little food cart where I got my lunch every day sold ham sandwiches,

and ham and cheese sandwiches, but not cheese sandwiches, which was what I wanted. So I would order the ham and cheese without ham, which sounded great in German. Once they realized that I really did know what I was saying and wasn't just fucking up the language, we got along great.

9. That makes as much sense as when I was ordering from the drive through

A locally owned sandwich place - no hamburgers at all - had opened up in a former drive through hamburger location so I decided to try them out.

Me, reading the menu: "BLT on rye, with a little mayo."

Cashier: "Anything else on the sandwich?"

Me: "No"

Cashier: "Don't you want lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?"

Me, stunned: "Uh, yeah - that's why I ordered a BLT!"

Cashier: "But you just asked for mayo and nothing else?"

Me, even more stunned: "That's because a BLT comes with lettuce and tomato as well as bacon."

Cashier, confused: "Now you want BACON on your sandwich, too?"

Me, about ready to drive off: "Miss, a BLT is a BACON, LETTUCE and TOMATO sandwich - a BLT comes with ALL of those. Please make me a sandwich with those ingredients on rye bread with a little mayonnaise on it."

Cashier, obviously out of her depth: "Let me get a manager to help you."


I don't know if it was the cashier's first day, if she was congenitally challenged, or what. I never actually saw her. The manager came to the microphone, took my order, collected the payment, and handed me my sandwich. Although the sandwich was good, I never went back - it was just too much to contemplate.

12. i worked at subway for years and dealt with some nonsensical stuff

a straggler comes in near closing and i ask him what kind of sandwich he wanted and then....

him: i'd like a club, but without the ham. i'm jewish and don't eat pork.

me: no problem

him: can you add some bacon

me: blink blink

i wasn't sure how to respond, so i did as he asked

14. These days you could offer him turkey bacon

If the store carried it!

But maybe he just didn't realize that bacon is pork. Far too many people today have no idea where their food comes from or what is in it.

2. A single slice of pickle, a sprig of parsley and four potato chips ...

... makes it a meal!

3. I like mine with lettuce and tomato

4. Squeezeburger

These are sooooooo good.

5. No Coke!

Pepsi!

[Brother Buzz]

6. That does look good.

Why is it, when I order a hamburger they always ask if I want cheese on it?

[Major Nikon]

11. They really mean a cheese-like substance

[BiggJawn]

7. Cheeps!

No chizboogar, Gyros!

13. Note the size of the coke bottle and the cheeseburger relative to the chips and pickle

things have changed since then!

15. 8 oz. Coke?

Looks like it.
I remember when they came out with the 12 oz. King Sized Coke.
Woo!
