Went to a new burger joint. Cheeseburger: $10 Bacon cheeseburger: $12 Order bacon cheeseburger Waitress: “FYI, bacon is extra” “Well, yeah, it costs $2 more” “No, there’s an upcharge” She says getting bacon on a bacon cheeseburger is an extra $2.50 on top of the price 1/4

I just shook my head, laughed, and walked out Y’all, an incompetent front of house will kill a restaurant far faster than subpar food because people may forget a disappointing meal, but they never forget terrible service. 4/4

“I know it costs extra, that’s the price difference between a regular burger and a bacon burger” “No, the price doesn’t include bacon” Once again, I ask what the $2 is for then and once again, he says it’s because bacon costs more I was caught in a circular reasoning loop 3/4

Assume that the waitress is new and doesn’t know the initial $2 covers the bacon She flags a manager Manager comes over and says bacon costs extra I say I know, $2 He says no, that doesn’t cover bacon I ask what it’s for then I shit you not: “Because bacon costs extra” 2/4

This is doing numbers and I don’t have squat to promote, so go check out my boy @TheMiddleborne’s online shop and get a badass, handcrafted Made In The USA wooden sword for you and your kids (link to his online shop will be in the bio)

That occurred to me on the drive home and yeah, that may have broken the loop. However, I was dumbfounded by what I was hearing at the time and too engrossed in unpacking their empirical reasoning.

I did wind up laughing but it was more of a “society isn’t going to make it” laugh

As a former waiter: - Table of 6 or more and it’s all women: work like a dog, minimal tip - Table of 6 or more and it’s all men: super chill, awesome tip I’m hardly misogynistic but it’s so damn true every damn time

That’s the obvious solution, of course, but I was too dumbfounded to think of it

OMG, yes! I may go back just to do that: “I want a bacon cheeseburger, hold the bacon.”

Based on my experience, I’m not confident they wouldn’t have responded with “no, you have to order the bacon burger if you want bacon.”
