• Order chaos at the corner coffee shop

    From Dave Smith@adavid.smith@sympatico.ca to rec.food.cooking on Thu Aug 13 17:17:06 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.food.cooking

    I had to take my car to the shop around the corner to get the brakes
    checked and arranged for my wife to meet me there for coffee. She was
    going to go ahead and order and asked if she should order a breakfast
    sandwich for me. Sure. I had not had one for a while and their egg and avocado with cheese on facaccio and grilled on a pannini press are
    amazing. The place was packed but it was a nice day to sit out and
    enjoy or coffee.

    It took a while to get our food and when it came there was a breakfast sandwich on a raw wrap for my wife and he handed me the other. Hold
    on... that's not a breakfast sandwich. That is a chicken and avocado,
    and not grilled. I would have eaten it but sent it back thinking I had
    someone else's order. No problem, they would bring me my egg and
    avocado breakfast sandwich. It was still busy so it took a while but
    when the girl brought it to me it was on a raw wrap (a gluten free wrap
    made from vegetables). I don't like them but I was hungry and said it
    would be fine. We had already been refunded the difference in price. A little while later one of the guys comes out and gives me a full refund
    on the breakfast sandwich and apologizing for them having screwed up my
    order. We were just about to leave when the girl who had originally
    taken my order came out with the breakfast sandwich I had originally
    ordered and many apologies for having messed it up. I said thanks but I
    am full so she went in and got me a leftovers box to take it home.

    I feel badly. It is not like them to screw up like that and to do it
    several times. Other than having been really hungry and having to wait
    so long I got not one but two free sandwiches. Maybe I will heat it up
    for supper.

    I hope you saved all that stuff Dave. Later, you can drive by the
    girl's place and throw that trash out the window. You'll feel much
    better once you get home safely to Megatron.

    We love you officer!

    Officer Dave will settle this injustice VERY soon. And, he will let us
    know all the details of his retaliation attacks.

    Cranberry, he's in the new US state of Canada. Trump hasn't allowed
    them to be full citizens just yet. They'll have to earn that privilege,
    just like Venezuela and Cuba and Iran. Even russia has to wait. Don't
    worry. Once they have all paid Trump, and become US citizens, they will
    be issued official US telephone books. Also passports and many other wonderful maga benefits.

    Relax. It's happening faster than you know!

    TY, I get the scalar progression of all this, plus it's hard to find
    goof phone directories these days.

    We might jump-start his civics studies with a daily recitation from the
    vaunted Congressional Record.

    Does he know how to do the YMCA dance yet...small steps...arm
    rotation...etc...
