No matter her order, she would probably get the burger and fries same as his anyway…..

Hold the pickleHold the mustardSpecial orders get us Flustered.All we ask from youIs that youPay in advance.

What does she think this is-the Starbucks’ of burger joints where you can have a burger done and garnished precisely how you want?

Many years ago my dad and I stopped at a small burger place on the way home from NYC and would get a hamburger and fries. OMG both were so delicious. However had to be quiet about it as when we got back home my mom was cooking dinner.

What? Did you think this was a Burger King from the 1970s and you could have your way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJXzkUH72cY

NEVER order anything “on the rare side” from a fast food joint. It’s dangerous enough at a sit-down restaurant.

I want a fresh bun? You’re at the wrong joint lady

Never take your wife to a drive in burger place!

It’s tough ordering for others when you know the order taker can’t hear you and you certainly can’t hear them.

Never go over two requests. You can, for example, ask for extra tomatoes and no pickles, but no more than that. To ask for more is to ask for disaster. Choose wisely, Grasshopper

Ground beef on the rare side? Talk about playing Russian Roulette with food. If any bacteria (e coli, salmonella, etc) gets into the grinding machine, it’s spread all over the surface areas of that meat—that means it’s in the middle of the patty. If it doesn’t get killed by the cooking process, it’ll have a hey day inside your body. But I guess cartoon people don’t have to worry about it.

Oh yeah….. and a diet soda in a clean cup!

Something got lost in the translation.

That was my mother. She thought every restaurant was Burger King and she could “have it her way.”

I can’t think of a fast food joint that wouldn’t flat out refuse to cook a burger rare.

Unfortunately this cuts close to home. My dearly beloved cannot order anything from any fast food restaurant without holding/adding ingredients. Followed by disappointment.

steak tartare anyone? Bleah

Way to go, Ralph. It’s a burger joint, Homleybish!
