Veggie Burger I worked for a 24 hour cafe that was adjacent to a college campus for three years. My job title was busgirl, however it consisted of much much more than that. I was to collect dirty dishes from table, wash them, make sure the bar was stocked, and run food. This was the job of only one person every shift. As a food runner you were to take the food to the table and then go about the three hundred other tasks you had on your hands at that given moment.
Every Thursday night during the summer there was a festival in the city so we would get absolutely swamped with drunk sorority girls, frat boys and general assholes who thought they could take run of our small cafe. One Thursday night in particular I was overrun with dirty dishes to collect so patrons could have a clean place to sit as well as making sure they had clean plates to eat off of all the while I was still running food. As I was trying to play catch up from the over abundance of customers with no where to sit, I had a girl at a table scream across the cafe for me to "come here immediately". I walked over to her table and asked what she needed. She starts to become irate that the veggie burger she ordered wasn't well done. If you've ever eaten a veggie burger you'd know that there is no well done. It's vegetables and soy concocted into a patty. There's no meat to cook well. I tried to explain to her while holding a handful of dirty plates that there really is no way to cook a pre-cooked veggie burger well. I guess this sorority girl thought she was going to win this one and demanded I take her order to the kitchen that moment and get it right this time. With my free hand I grabbed her plate and began to walk away. At which time I overhear her mutter to her friends " that's right bitch".....
I'd had it. I was sweaty , dirty, and way under appreciated at this point. I strolled into the kitchen with the girls' plate in my my hand explaining to the cook the situation. The cook laughed, took the veggie burger from the plate, threw it on the floor where there was a pile of grease, then proceeded to cough up what would be the most disgusting luggie I had ever witnessed. She then took the patty and put it on the grill for another 5 minutes to get it "well done".
Order up!
I walk casually to the girls table and place in front of her. Smile and say "the cooks sincerest apologies". She rolled her eyes and said thanks. I sat down and watched her eat every bite. This is a lesson in how not to speak to someone who has control over the food you're going to be digesting.
