Default You won't believe this one!

SERIOUSLY..this happened yesterday at the Pier!

Customer- Can I get a chicken salad wrap?
Me -Sure-tomato or spinach wrap?
C- do you have multi grain?
Me- No, sorry, just tomato or spinach
C- do you have wheat wraps?
Me- No, sorry, just tomato or spinach
C- do you have wheat bread?
Me- Sure, do you want a sandwich instead of a wrap?
C- No, I want a wrap. Can't you use wheat bread to make the wrap?
Me- Sure, but it will be a sandwich, not a wrap.
C- But I want a wheat wrap.
Me- Ok (now I walk over and pick up the 2 packages of wraps and a loaf of wheat bread)..so do you want your WRAP on one of these tomato or spinach wraps or your sandwich on wheat bread?
C- I guess the wheat bread.
Me- great. Lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?
C- Is there alot of mayo in the chicken salad?
Me- Not too much...
C-can I try it first?
Me- sure (get out the chicken salad, get a plastic spoon and a small soup cup, and give them a taste).
C- can I get it without celery?
Me- no, sorry, it's all made with celery and dried cranberries
C- can't you make some up without celery?
Me- no, sorry, I made all the chicken into chicken salad this morning and it all has celery and dried cranberries
C- Ok...
Me- do you want lettuce and tomato on your sandwich?
C- yes, and can I have bacon?
Me- sure
C-and avacado?
Me- sure
C- and onion?
Me- sure
C- is it red or white onion?
Me- I have both, which do you prefer?
C- red...but sliced very thin
Me- ok..do you want fries or fresh fruit with your sandwich?
C- what is the fruit?
Me- fresh pineapple
C- do you have melon?
Me- no, sorry, the only fresh fruit I have is pineapple.
C- can I get a salad instead of the fries or fruit?
Me- sure-a mixed green salad with our own balsamic dressing?
C- can I get a chef's salad instead?
Me- sure, but that will up the price $2.00
C- why?
Me- because a chef's salad has turkey, ham, tomato, and assorted cheeses on it
C- oh..well...hmmm...I guess I will have the fries
Me- great...I'll get this started. That will be $8.00.
C- does it come with a drink?
Me- no, sorry..would you like to purchase a drink?
C-no
Me- okay, that will be $8.00 please

SO...he pays me the $8.00 and asks how long...I say less than 5 minutes. He says ok and stands at the window watching me. I drop the fries and start the sandwich.

C- (shouting from the window)...be sure to slice the onion thin!
Me- no problem..

SO...I make the sandwich, put it in the to go container, and turn to the fries.

C- is my sandwich ready?
Me-sure is...just waiting on the fries.
C-how long do they take?
Me- just a few more minutes, just want to get them golden brown
C-wow...this is taking a long time

SO...I pull the fries, put them in the container and hand it to the customer.

C-(opening box)...did you slice the onion thin?
Me- sure did. Have a nice afternoon.
C-you too

SO..That was the hardest $8.00 I ever made!!!
