At the dining hall I work, we have a station where we grill up steaks for customers according to how they want it done. However, they have to spend a little more money on top of the fee to get in if they want one. We take their order, their money, give them a number, then they come back when it's ready after they've picked out their other food from the other stations.
They sometimes do other food, but I've only ever seen them do steak.
It's finals week and it was busy. We could barely keep steaks on the grill. Almost everyone was willing to have it rarer than they originally ordered so they could get it faster.
As the night went on, medium-well became medium and medium became medium-rare. Eventually, we ran out of steaks and every one on the grill was already ordered. We were told to turn on the small fryer and make mozzarella sticks for people who wanted them.
I was handling orders and had to explain to a good number that we did not have anymore steaks and the ones on the grill were spoken for. I told them we had mozzarella sticks instead. Most walked away uninterested, but there was one customer who stood out.
The following conversation occurred:
Me- "I'm sorry, sir. We do not have any more steaks. We are, however, doing mozzarella sticks."
C- "Oh. What's the difference?"
Me-
"Um... one's a steak and the other's... they're completely different products, sir."
C- "Really?"
Me- "Yes. It is a fried cheese stick."
C- "Oh." *walks away*
I almost burst out laughing.
