You think its bad at McDonald's, try ordering a hamburger with everything at Wendy's. If you simply say "I want a hamburger with everything" they say "Is that with cheese and tomato?". To avoid any confusion you must say "I want a hamburger with everything--that is with tomato and without cheese. No I don't want fries or that horrible milkshake ice cream thing (a frosty??)".

And probably just as bad is ordering a "double cheeseburger with lettuce, mayonaise, mustard, onions, pickles and tomatoe" and being asked if you want bacon on it as well! If I had wanted bacon I'd have ordered a bacon burger! Oh well, perhaps the bottom 10% of the distribution is there to balance the load? -- TJ (with Amazing Grace) The Piper Boeing Artificial Intelligence Center ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!bcsaic!ted

> Various mumbles about ordering 'with everything' and then > being asked for specifics... When in college I worked in a sub-shop and the concept of 'everything' was not well defined so if someone said everything we tried to find out what they meant. Of course, some people just repeated 'I said everything' (not surprising, reading this list). Needless to say, more than one customer got home to a scoop of blueberry ice cream on their tuna sub. What really caused the annoyance was the number of twits who would say 'everything' and then would come back with the sub 10 minutes later saying 'when I said everything I didn't mean hot peppers...I cant eat hot peppers....I demand another sub'. I would say this would happen about once or twice a (busy) night. -Barry Shein, Boston University
