If I go to a fast food restaurant or any kind of restaurant enough times, I often know what questions they are going to ask ahead of time. Sometimes when I place my order I try to make sure that I answer all of those questions.

Me: I’d like a medium #2 with no onions to go please.
Cashier: Would you like that medium or large?
Me: Medium.
Cashier: No onions?
Me: Right.
Cashier: Would you like that for here or to go?
Me: To go.

Then he told me the total. That kind of thing happens a lot when I order food. I wonder if they aren’t really paying close attention to what I am saying or if they are mechanically following a script. Do I need to use a bullhorn?

When I got home with my food I discovered that the burger had onions on it. I hated my life for a second.
