Tell them you want a #1 or you will leave a #2 on their counter.

I think I've mellowed some from about 20 years ago. I recall an evening, after a tiring day, wife and I stopped into Red Lobster for dinner. They took us to an empty booth where a little 4 or 5 year old girl was standing on the seat behind mine, arms draped into my space. She says "Hiiiiiiyeeeeeee!" with a big grin. I looked at her and said "Hi...now turn around and sit down, I didn't come here to be entertained!". Her parents immediately asked for a different booth. My wife thought I was horrid, but we noticed all through our meal this little darling was "entertaining" everyone who came near her with the same "cute" greeting. She pissed off half a dozen people before they left and the folks thought it just too cute.

Bobby: I'd like a plain omelet. No potatoes, tomatoes instead. A cup of coffee and wheat toast. Waitress: No substitutions. Bobby: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes? Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two — a plain omelet. It comes with cottage fries, and rolls. Bobby: Yea, I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want. Waitress: Well I'll come back when you make up your mind. Bobby: Wait a minute, I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelet, no potatoes on the plate. A cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast. Waitress: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast. I'll give you a English muffin or a coffee roll. Bobby: What do you mean "you don't make side orders of toast"? You make sandwiches, don't you? Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager? Bobby: You've got bread. And a toaster of some kind? Waitress: I don't make the rules. Bobby: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee. Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else? Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules. Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh? Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
