Biscuits for our Office
This one is intended for the "How do these people survive"
pile. I can attest to this one personally.
I walked into a McDonalds one morning to buy a bagful of
breakfast sausage-and-egg biscuits for our small office. One
gentleman in our office didn't eat sausage, so I asked for
one scrambled-egg-only biscuit.
"Sorry, we can't do that." came the reply.
"Why not?"
"It's not on my board, we don't do that."
Thinking surely she had misunderstood me, I tried again:
"All I want is a biscuit with a scrambled egg on it. Surely
you can do that."
"No, sorry, we can't. All we have are sausage-and-egg
biscuits."
Becoming exasperated, I realized I was fighting a losing
battle, and opted to play a hunch. I asked, "Well, can I get
a sausage-and-egg-biscuit, hold the sausage?"
"Oh, sure! That's no problem!" came the gleeful reply...and
back the order went "Sausage Egg Biscuit - no sausage."
