Last night, after our event at Books Inc, in Palo Alto, I hit Jack in the Box with Caster Girl Yvette and Nancy, the Ravenous Reader. This is the conversation that ensued in the drive thru. I am not embellishing.
Before the speaker…
YVette: I am going to get two tacos.
Kami: What's in the tacos?
Yvette: Some soy meat.
Kami: Can you be more specific? What kind of soy meat?
Yvette: I don't know.
Kami: Then how do I know if I want them.
Yvette: I don't know, Kami! Just order something else!
Kami: Fine. Stop being such a brat!
At the speaker box…
Nancy: Two tacos, egg rolls, a chocolate shake, and…
Kami: Can I get a grilled sandwich with just turkey and provolone?
Drive Thru Guy: We don't have any turkey or provolone.
(I look at the menu)
Kami: Okay. How about grilled ham and cheddar?
Drive Thru Guy: We are out of ham and cheddar.
Yvette: OMG! (laughing)
Drive Thru Guy: Would you like the Grilled Deli Sandwich?
Nancy: What's on that?
Drive Thru: Turkey, ham, provolone, cheddar, salami, and pickles.
Nancy: Okay….. we would like to have that with just turkey and provolone.
Yvette: OMG! Can't you just order something else?
Drive Thru Guy: I don't think i have the buttons for that.
Yvette: Kami order something else!
Drive Thru Guy: Wait a minute, let me talk to the cook.
Kami: That's okay.
(Too late he is gone)
Drive thru guy returns.
Drive Thru Guy: Okay we can do that.
(We pull up to the drive thru.)
Yvette: Make sure you check that crap.
Kami: No forget it, we are not checking it.
Nancy: Yeah, we've been holding up the line too long.
Drive Thru Guy: I'm really sorry about that, we just don't have the buttons.
