Butter my buns and call me a biscuit! - Agent A
>>medium
“Bar-b-que sauce on that?”
>>
@Karlok: no problem!
This sounds like a blood pressure-inducing trap. I’m guessing a Veggie Burger is out of the question.
>> Well-done (I suppose?)
edit: haha I did the same. Let’s go with medium!
I agree, sounds like a trap.
She’s probably going to do a whole series of questions, do you want fries with that, blabla..
If she is, I suggest you answer them, Luhr. It will save lots of posts and you’re entitled to some fun too.

The waitress races away. A few moments later, she returns. “Our computer crashed, and we lost your order. It’s time for my break, so someone else will have to take your order.” She walks away.

Phew! Glad you let me take over there, that would have taken aeons.
And actually, not too dissimilar from some restaurants I’ve eaten at!
LOL! I’m psychic! Or my subconscious brain cells remembered the waitress from 30+ years ago.
And now you can do it all over again.

Just for fun, you could have said no to the drink, but…
"Right. Now, sir, would you care for a drink?"
>>NO
"Is there any particular kind of drink you want not to have? We've got beer,
wine, soda or juice."
>>GAAAAH!
And now you can do it all over again.
As you wish!

Time passes.
A surly-looking waiter with huge bunched muscles like the sort of people who kick whole beaches in people’s faces appears at your side. “Are you ready to order now?”
>>yes
The waiter sighs too loudly. “All right, sir, how would you like your burger done? Raw? Rare? Medium? Well-done?”
>>raw
“Bar-b-que sauce on that?”
>>no
“Very well, sir. Melted cheese?”
>>no
“How about bacon?”
>>no
“Mushrooms?”
>>no
“Great. Now, you’ve your choice of french fries, baked potato or salad with that. Which will it be, sir?”
>>fries
“Ketchup with the fries?”
>>no
“Right. Now, sir, would you care for a drink?”
>>no
“Is there any particular kind of drink you want not to have? We’ve got beer, wine, soda or juice.”
>>wine
“Red or white?”
>>white
“Dry or sweet?”
>>dry
“French, German or Californian?”
>>german
“A glass of water on the side?”
>>no
The waiter squints at his pad with tiny simian eyes, breathing hard with the intellectual effort of it all. “Let’s see if I got that right. You want a raw burger with nothing on it, an order of fries, and no white, dry German wine. Is that right?”
>>yes
The waiter nods. “That’ll be a few minutes,” he says as he races away.
>z
Time passes.
The waiter reappears. “Your burger, sir,” he announces, dropping it on the table before you and racing off before you can complain about its size.
>x burger
What you have here is just a standard, smells-like-a-dog’s-ear burger, with nothing on it. It seems to be well-done.
Should we wait for the waiting staff? (badum tss)
@Karlok: your psychic powers have revived my belief you are, in fact, a time wizard.
edit: let’s roll the dice and >eat burger
>eat burger
You’re slightly hungry so you eat with little enjoyment.
[Your score just went up.]
The waiter reappears. “That will be $4.50, sir,” he says.

It’s not medium, it’s RAW. Yuck.

>give beezer card to waiter
The waiter goes away for a little while. When he returns, he informs you that Beezer Inc. list you as over your credit limit. He awaits your next move with a smug expression on his hateful “face”.

Am I the only one who finds the quotation marks a bit worrying?
Let’s try the american excess card.
>give American Excess card to waiter
or else: do a runner.
>give us excess card to waiter
[taking the US Excess card out of the wallet first]
The waiter looks at your US Excess card and throws it in your face: “This is worthless; it’s expired, and anyway I wouldn’t accept it. I don’t like the stupid yak hologram.”
>w
The waiter clears his throat. “That will be $4.50, sir,” he says.
