So I go into the new* pizza-by-the-slice place on Chicago for lunch, and after picking out the least dead piece of dried out crust/cheese to order I go to wait dutifully behind the lady who has a problem with walnuts on her salad. Or not. I wasn't paying close enough attention to Ms. Saladnuts to tell because I had become distracted by the sign that read:
We now have "COFFEE" !
So what the fuck is "COFFEE," I asked the guy at the register while I made air quotes to emphasize what I was asking. Whoosh- he didn't understand so I skipped it and got a slice and a salad to go. Now, these are pre-made slices and salads, and I was the only one in line, so why the guy rang me up for my to-go order and then gave me a card (#2) to hold while he went and put my pre-made crap in a bag is beyond me. When the food is sitting in my plain sight, the protocol is: take order, take money, get food, put in bag, gimme food. I thanked him for my "lunch" and got the hezbollah out of there.
New* pizza place apparently has been new* several times now, according to boss-lady. I think I should sic Gordon Ramsey on those pie slingers and get their act together.
