So I walked into an Italian restaurant to get a sub for lunch. Here’s the actual conversation that occurred between me and the Asian high school kid working behind the counter:
Twitch: I’ll have a chicken salad sub with nothing on it to go.
Asian: Okay, one second.
At this point he walked into the back and disappears for at least a good 60 seconds. I’m confused as I watch him go back there because I can see the sub rolls in the bin behind the counter and the chicken salad is in the deli case. Never the less, I go and pick out a beverage and return to the counter. At this point the Asian has returned…
A: Sorry, but we’re all out of french fries. Is it okay if I give you chips instead?
T: What?
A: Sorry, but we ran out earlier.
T: What? I ordered a chicken salad sub, not french fries.
A: Right. Okay.
Once again, the kid walks into the back and is gone for about 60 seconds. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, but I’m not in a huge hurry and I’m fairly confused at this point, but strangely interested to see how this is going to pan out. He returns once again, but this time with a paper plate and 2 slices of white bread on the plate…
A: That sandwich comes on white bread, not a sub roll.
T: Well if it’s okay with you, can I get it on a sub roll?
A: Ummm… Sure, but it’s going to cost more.
T: I’m aware of that.
A: So do you still want muenster cheese on that?
T: What? I ordered a [speaking very slowly] chicken salad sub with NOTHING on it to go.
A: Okay.
So he goes to the counter and starts making the sub. I finally see him reach for a sub roll and shortly after I see him reach into the deli case for the chicken salad. What a relief… after all of that, I think he finally understands my complicated order…
A: Do you want lettuce and tomato on that?
Twitch: I’ll have a chicken salad sub with nothing on it to go.
Asian: Okay, one second.

I want a friggin' tomato on my sandwich. I also want that shirt that chick is wearing. It could come in handy when I'm standing on the corner this weekend.
