well, it's that time of the month again...(no, not pms...i have guns to deal with that!), but the full moon week....sleep is elusive, people seem extra crazy, and customers just get a little more nutso/wacko than usual...this just happened in a phone call...
caller: i'd like to make a reservation but would like to know what's on your menu first
me: i recited the menu
caller: can you make a grilled cheese sandwich?
me: we do have a children's menu, but we do not have a grilled cheese sandwich on it
caller: well, can you make one anyway?
me: no, not really..i don't have the cheeesy bread or cheese, we do have other nice choices..i recited the
kids menu
caller: it's not for my kids, it's for my wife and actually my 18 year old daughter
me: adults cannot order off the kids menu sir...it's for kids
caller: my wife and 18 year old daughter only eat 'childlike' foods. they don't eat adult food
me: then get them a happy meal!..we can simplify a dish for them like spaghetti with oil and herbs or
butter and cheese, or plain marinara if they like
caller: do you have chicken fingers or nuggets on your kids menu?
me: we have nothing fried on either the kids or regular menu, but again adults cannot order off the kids
menu
caller: i get that...i would like to make a reservation if you can make a grilled cheese sandwich for my wife
and daughter
me: at this point sir all i can do is to put you on a waitlist for the weekend
caller: fine
joey
