131) Eavesdropping - Fast Food Order Edition

I call my mom over lunch once a week, and was lucky enough to overhear a conversation she had with the employee at a fast food restaurant.  It went like this:

Mom:  Hold on, Hardy, I am at the drive thru.  Yes, can I get a cheeseburger on a regular bun and a...

      -pause-

Mom:  I want a bun with no sesame seeds, please.

      -pause-

Mom:  No.  Can I get it on a bun without those little seeds all over it!  You know, the sesame seeds.

      -pause-

Mom:  A regular bun!

      -pause-

Mom:  Uh huh.  Yes.

      -pause-

Mom:  No, a cheeseburger.  But instead of the bun with all the seeds on it, I want the plain bun.

      -pause-

Mom:  Yeah.  That's right, but I also want to order some fries.  And a coke.


      -pause-

Mom:  No.  I said fries and a coke!

      -pause-


Mom:  No, I want the small cheeseburger, not the meal.  

      -pause-

Mom:  I understand that, but I only want the small cheeseburger.  

      -pause-

Mom:  Yes I still want the fries and the coke!  Good lord!  This order is easy.  I want a cheeseburger, a small fry and a coke.  But on the cheeseburger I want the plain bun, the one with no seeds on it!

      -pause-

Mom:  Yes, that's it!
