Dumb waitress II & III.

Now my meal comes and it's OK, except the side dish only has three
biscuit halves. I ask "where's the other biscuit half?" She tries to
think and replies "I guess it's because you substituted from three
pancakes." HUH? I asked "what did they do with the other half
biscuit?" She says "I think biscuits come in halves to begin with."
????????

ROFL! Okay, now I think I've heard it ALL! That's just too funny... they
come in halves. Yeah, everyone I know bakes half a biscuit at a time.

I thought about that last statement on the way home and perhaps they do
it like that, but for me, it didn't make a lick of sense at the time.

Kick me!

What the heck is with your luck, Mr.? I think you have to switch to a
"real" restaurant next time. :~)

And all my recipes say they make "12 biscuit halves".

AlleyGator,

Let him vent. It is anarchy after all.

I took it as a compliment that I could possibly be that creative!

Now this probably goes under the "You asked for it" category, but this
morning I went back out for chicken fried steak and eggs.

LOL! I am not alone... Your chicken fried steak is my eggs benedict
and yet we continue to tilt at windmills.

You should have went to the Cracker Barrel, if there's one near you. I
don't like Dennys or IHOP. I had a bad experience a few years back at
a Denny's when I got an omelette which came with hash browns and the
hash browns smelled like ammonia. I was so sickened by the smell I
couldn't eat it. As for IHOP; I don't like pancakes and the last time
I went there unless you get waffles or French Toast there isn't much on
the breakfast menu that doesn't include pancakes.

Fearless readers,

This time I went to Denny's. Waitress took my order and I said extra
country gravy. Pleasant enough, she brought my coffee. After five
minutes she came back and said "sorry we're out of country fried
steak," and thrust the menu back at me! I claimed I got out of bed
specifically for chicken fried steak and eggs. She looked quite puzzled.
I left.

Damn. So, I drive BACK to IHOP, determined to get my breakfast, knowing
full well I'm asking for it.

I'm seated at IHOP and order my chicken fried steak and eggs. I ask to
substitute biscuits for the pancakes. She says "OK, but it's 'country'
fried steak and eggs."

When she brings my coffee I add "would you please bring extra gravy for
my chicken fried steak, and a couple extra napkins." She says sure but
quietly says "It's 'country' fried ..." Jokingly, I said "stop
correcting me."

Now my meal comes and it's OK, except the side dish only has three
biscuit halves. I ask "where's the other biscuit half?" She tries to
think and replies "I guess it's because you substituted from three

Cheap [censored]. They should change their name to IHOBH.

International House of Biscuit Halves.

I have always wondered why the pancakes and waffles offered in pancake
joints are so bad. I understand that mixes are easy to deal with, and when
you are hiring kitchen staff who work cheap you can't expect a gourmet
dish, but pancakes are pretty easy to make. Considering how much they
charge for an order of pancakes, which are pretty cheap to make, their
prime ingredients being flour, milk and eggs, there is lots of room for
profit. I would be willing to pay for good pancakes but my experiences
with restaurant pancakes have never been anything but negative.

As for Cracker Barrel..... I used to frequent one when I was working. We
had a limited number of places to eat in that town so we rotated. After a
few visits, Cracker Barrel was taken out of the rotation.

You get the big head by feeling superior to your waitress? You sound
like a little man with a big head.

You must be low man on the totem pole at work. It is nice to go to
IHOP to lift your spirits.

IHOP was Mary Hartman's favorite restaurant. Whenever her family was in
trouble, she always suggested that they all gather at the "International
House of Pancakes" to lift their spirits.

.....and isn't it pathetic we have to tilt at windmills, that bad CFS
and bad EB have become the expected norm and we are shocked if these
dishes are actually cooked and served well. I haven't run across a
restaurant that can do either, in years.

You project you own self to get such small head from writing? You sound

You must be lowest man on totem pole at work. You work dish room at
IHOP?

I don't KF anyone, never have. I do occasionally like to read Shelly's
posts - it reminds me just how hilarious a true arrogant fool really is.
Plus it gives me a rare chance to be mean to someone who deserves it ',;~}~

HUH? I asked "what did they do with the other half biscuit?"
She says "I think biscuits come in halves to begin with." ????????

This cracked me up and brought to mind something that happened to me in
a very nice restaurant about 25 years ago. After being seated by the
hostess and ordering a cocktail with the waiter, I perused the menu.
When I was ready to order, I closed the menu and waited for the waiter.
When he asked me if I was ready to order, I asked if he could please
tell me what the Soup of the Day was. This is the God's honest TRUTH:
He replied, "Today it's Soup du Jour." I waited and that's all he
said! I managed to keep from giggling and, of course, quickly forgot
the other questions I had. To play it safe, I ordered the Gumbo of the
Day and skipped the soup. I wondered for years if it was his first day
on the job...

Back in the early 1940s my parents stopped at a small roadside restaurant
while on a cross-country trip. They had finished eating their sandwiches
when the waitress asked if they'd like dessert. Without looking at a menu,
my dad replied, "bring us each cherry pie a la mode." The waitress looked
puzzled and told him that they didn't serve anything like that for dessert.
My dad asked if they had any cherry pie and the waitress said they did. He
then asked if they had any vanilla ice cream and the waitress again replied
that they did. My dad then ask the waitress to bring them each a slice of
cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
