In-and-Out burger has an odd way of taking your order. You say, I want a hamburger.
They say: With everything?
You: Yes, with everything.
They: Would you like onions?
You: Yes, I said everything.
They: Everything and onions?
You: Yes, everything and onions.
They don't take the word "everything" seriously. Everything includes onions, I would think. But they always ask about onion after you've told them you want everything.
I imagine because there are enough people who when they say "everything" forget that onions might be involved.
And so you hand them the hamburger with EVERYTHING and they say, "Oh, I didn't want onion."
Too bad, so sad; you ordered onion and now you're going to eat it. Open your mouth, dufus, or I'll open it for you. I said OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
Ha!
ReplyDeleteI find it extremely annoying when I go to Starbucks and they try to 'up sale'. "A skimmed milk flat white,please."
"Would you like to try our extra sweet caramel with extra cream frapacoffee."
"No, I would like the drink I just asked for.."
"Would you like a croissant to go with that. Or a muffin, shortbread, salad....."
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hahahah. that is hilarious.
ReplyDeletealso makes me miss in n out. they don't have it in the mid west.
Electric Peels of laughing, hysterical terror happening right about here. (I couldn't decide on the spelling)
ReplyDeleteI think they're asking because you're supposed to order your burger with *grilled onions.* It's the best. Also, order your fries animal style. You get their fries (which aren't very good) with cheese and grilled onions on top (very, very good). Eat them with a fork.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's everything I know about ordering at In-N-Out.
Oh! One more thing. If you have a finicky kid, you can order a cheeseburger with no meat=a grilled cheese sandwich. This has saved me more than once because I have an 11 year old who doesn't understand the glory of grilled meat. Or grilled onions.
I'm so hungry.
What gets me is asking for a hamburger and being asked if I want cheese. Well, no. Had I wanted cheese I would have ordered a cheeseburger. Also, in some places a plain burger comes with ketchup and pickles. I suspect double checking about the onions saves a lot of "redos."
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. I think onions are in their own special category.
