Me, calling into a local dive restaurant: Hello there! I have a Buy One, Get One Free Entrée coupon, and I was wondering if a salad counts as an entrée.
Guy of Local Dive (GOLD): A salad is not an entrée, Ma’am.
Me (feeling sort of ridiculous): Is a sandwich an entrée?
GOLD: I don’t think a sandwich is an entrée. You have to order from the Entrée section of the menu.
Me (holding back tears of laughter/pain): Okay, well, I have your menu in front of me right now, and I’m not seeing anything that’s labeled Entrée.
GOLD: I’ve never actually seen our menu, so I’m not sure how to help you at this point.
Wait. I want to repeat that (in italics!) for you.
GOLD: I’ve never actually seen our menu, so I’m not sure how to help you at this point.
And I should have asked for a manager, but I believe my time would be better spent actually driving to the restaurant and giving GOLD an awkward hug. And then we’ll eat cheesecake. As an entrée. ‘ ‘ ‘text/javascript’>
