During the Atkins Diet craze, I had the misfortune of waitressing at a diner. Atkins bandwagoners just could not understand why they couldn’t substitute whatever meat product they wanted for hash browns or toast on their breakfast combos.
Customer: “I’d like your breakfast meal, but please replace the toast with some steak.”
Me: “That’ll be a $5.99 upcharge.”
Customer: “What, I can’t get a little piece of steak instead of toast?”
Me: “Yes, but you need to pay. The steak costs more — quite a lot more.”
Customer: “It’s a bit unfair that the only combos you offer have items that aren’t Atkins-friendly!”
The ones who complained loudest had no idea what they were really doing with Atkins, so I took revenge by undermining them whenever possible — things like offering them ketchup whenever possible and smiling gleefully whenever I saw them sop it all over their meat products.
