I went to lunch today with my leadership folks.They're nice folks even if they DO think I'm a bit..........strange (musta been the pirate hat and the sword and all that 'arrrrrrrrrhhhh'-ing?).
One of them asked why I always order the same lunch.
Every week.
Same order.
Week after week after week.
*shrugs*
There's something weird about that apparently?
Right....well, I do and the waitress loves me. Not to mention they get the order right every time AND there's no waiting!
Hamburger, burnt --with lettuce, tomato and mayo.
And french fries.
And french fries.
Not very complicated. Not very fancy.
But yep..the same lunch. Week after week AFTER week.
I've noted that the world has a problem with the concept of consistency. :-D
The Brit has a slight problem with taking me out for breakfast--well, not with taking me OUT for breakfast, but that I (g'head and guess......yup.......) order the same thing week after week after week.
Two eggs over easy, hashbrowns with onions and wheat toast.
Week after week after week.
HE has a problem with consistency......apparently.
No, I don't eat the two eggs, ever.
And nope, I don't eat the french fries either.
Himself has encouraged me, harassed me and ultimately went for the experience of ordering something different FOR me.
One egg (since that's all I eat anyway).
I called the waitress back.
"Make that two eggs, over easy."
Oh c'mon...how wussy does "One egg, over easy" sound!
Very.
Even I recognize that!
Very.
Even I recognize that!
Today the leadership folks attempted to get me to skip on the french fries that I don't eat even though I order them week after week after week.
After much harassment (apparently it bothers THEM more than it bothers me), I simply ordered my burnt hamburger with lettuce, mayo and tomato.
They were proud.
I put on my happy face and went about my business--after all, it's a 'work' lunch.
The waitress brought me my burnt hamburger with lettuce, tomato and mayo.
And she brought french fries.
BLESS her heart.
That burnt hamburger woulda looked REAL wussy on that plate all by its lonesome.

hmm...what do you mean by weird?
I have my favorite meal at specific places. I go to different restaurants...and order something different at each place.
But...maybe...now that you mention it....I have my favorite meal at each place...maybe...
yes..what exactly IS the problem with consistency?
LOVE that waitress :)
I've been behind on my blogging - so sorry, but so glad the waitress brought french fries with that burger ;-) *hugs*
Can't have a lonely burger. It might run away :)
I thought I was always ordered different things when I go to a restaurant, but there's one in particular, that I only go to once in awhile, and when I ordered my house salad followed by peking duck pizza, he said 'Wow, not THAT's a surprise!'
hhmmpph. I don't like to be predictable!
YARRR!!!!! :)
So I eat in lots of different places, but always the same things in each place. I thought that was normal!!!
Oh dear do I have to change now?
pxx
i guess they never read Harriet the Spy about her tomato sandwiches. Hmmpf!
Peace love and continuity.
~ RS ~
oh, I always have exactly the same thing and don't eat the bits I don't want to
(apart from when I was in France this summer and worked my way thru the menu)(but I was TRYING to be different then, you see)
and YEAY to the waitress you brought you your order
and ya boo sucks to the otherwise lovely work people
