I went to Hardees yesterday for lunch. I ordered the Number 1 Combo which included a Cheeseburger, fries and a medium soft drink. I specified that I wanted the burger with "ketsup only"

The cashier read my order back as a number one combo without pickles, onions, mustard..... etc and I replied "Its real simple. maam... just no ketsup"

She then placed the order and took my money. I few minutes later a gal from the kitchen poked her head out and said "Did you want that with ketsup and mustard?"

To which I replied, "No, it's real easy, just no ketsup"

The manager had overheard the entire order process and she piped in with "If you deliver that Cheeseburger with anything but ketsup I will choke you and throw it at you"

I knew she spoke in jest and it brought me a smile to hear it. As my order came out I thanked her for standing up for me in the apparent guise of common sense.

I sat down and opened my cheeseburger to find ketsup, but "NO CHEESE". I took it back to the cashier who by now had a ghastly look on her face. The manager looked the situation over with incredulity and made the cook add a piece of cheese. In my mind I had thought I could say someone had cut the cheese on my burger, but I had not the heart to add insult to injury, nor would I have had the stomach to eat such a verbally tainted cheeseburger which might have been successively served to me. After a few minutes the cook came out with the same burger which she had obviously added a slice of cheese to, apologizing that the cashier had written it wrong. I would have called that remark "passing the buck", but since hamburgers are made from cows instead of deer, I guess it was just "bull"!!!

I feel your pain. I order "ketchup only," and all too often I get mustard added. I HATE mustard (unless it's honey mustard served with roast chicken...), it makes me gag.

It's the flaw of ordering from a fast food restaurant paying minimum wage. They don't get the best of the best working there...

This was a cute blog. It reminded me of the old saying "Which part of no didn't you understand?"
