"What time do you switch over to the late night menu?"
"9 PM," she says without a hint of irony in her voice, taking away our dinner menus.
I glance at my watch and confirm it was only 8:35. No worries, we just wanted burgers anyway. Our food is all ordered when Sergio has to go and ruin everything.
"Can I also get the exact same burger to go?"
Uh oh, that blank stare, the tilt of her head, you can almost see the smoke coming out of her ears as the gears are grinding. Congratulations Dr Frankenstein...SHE'S ALIVE!
"No problem." Phew. Disaster averted, we return our attention to our round of beers. Well, root beer for Ted. I hate straight edge people.
20 minutes later, a runner shows up with four burgers in bags. "Uh...those were supposed to be for here."
"Oh, I'm sorry. There was a miscommunication with the chef. I'll be right back."
Two minutes later, he returns with three burgers on plates for the four of us.
"That must have been a big miscommunication. We were supposed to have four burgers for here and one to go."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll be right back."
Finally, with four burgers in front of us, the Frankenwaitress returns to check on us and take another drink order. We remind her that we want an additional burger to go, which seems to surprise her.
The end of our dining experience is mercifully drawing near, so we examine the bill and divvy it up. We have $60 in cash, and wish to put $18 each on two credit cards. We carefully explain this to the Frankenwaitress, who happily skips off.
She returns minutes later with the slips wrapped around the cards saying, "I think I got the right slip with the right card!"
The red lights start flashing the warning bells start ringing, so the owners of the two cards examine the numbers on the slips to make sure they're signing the correct slip.
"This one's mine," a relieved Jim says as he pens his John Hancock.
"Uh, this is not mine," a clearly aggravated Ted says.
A quick comparison of the two numbers leads us to the inevitable conclusion that the Frankenwaitress managed to run the same card twice. Apparently she was standing at the machine, having run a card through and then was faced with the unenviable position of not remembering which card she had just run. She guessed. She was wrong. Nice try doctor, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.

You forgot the part where he fucks your dad in the mouth and then eats a second helping of mom's mashed potatoes you fucking slag.

The semen, saliva and fecal matter levels on those burgers when they last came out must have been phenomenal.

Sadly there was no such added joy to my burger. It was bone dry :(

I realize it was her fault, but it's a good idea not to keep sending stuff back in a restaurant.
