Oh yeah I'm a nice guy I agree to call for our lunch and handle the $$$

And what do I get?

Uh with tax...We have to pay tax? Yes your have to pay tax....well here's my money (walks off)

I want a Chef Salad no carrots no onions no Roast Beef extra Ham and Turkey extra croutons extra Thousand Island. (that was the actual order I had to call in)

Oh can you GET them to put a scoop of chicken salad on that garden salad ya know the one with no onions and extra ranch dressing???

Sheeessh people I can understand some changes but some of those were a bit too much. And if it wrong don't think I won't hear about it.

2. Isn't there someone with less tenure you can stick this job with?

That is a really shitty job - thankless, too.

8. No I usually don't do it but I thought I would volunteer

My co-worker who does this told me that some people around here always order like that. I have had some problems with people not reading the menu but nothing like this. Geez go to a salad bar if you are that particular.

6. You're not doing it right

Here's what you do.

Swear memory like a sieve and demand order in writing
Demand extra money in case "the price went up"
Order off the kiddy menu instead of the main one
"lose" the receipt
"forget" to give them their change

You can usually make enough to pay for your own meal.

10. Better response.....

"Sorry, I'm eating 'out'. Someone else needs to phone in the order..."

Then leave.

I had a boss who thought that because I was at my desk, that meant I was "on". didn't matter if I had a yap-full of flied lice or not.

I started eating out (even though I fucking HATE eating alone in public)

11. Rember KISS

Keep it simple stupid (or for the stupid)

I leave a menu on the board
NOTE
This is the menu to Whatever Cafe
There will be NO deviations from the menu
If you want something else to bad
bring a lunch.
