What's my number?

[csquared]

I was in Five Guys the other day (Dead cow nummyness)

There are only six tables occupied. Only one with out food already.
CD=Counter Dude
CG=Counter Gal
OL=Older lady

CD: #77!
*No answer*
CD: #77!
*No answer*
*CD looks around and catches the attention of the older lady that has no food.
CD: Are you #77?
OL: *She sakes her head no.*
CD over PA system: #77!
*No answer*

He then turns to the rest of the staff and asks who took the order, do they know who the customer is?
CG To OL: Miss. Your #77.

She then looks at her ticket and realizes that she is #77.

I can understand not realizing it's your number, but some of them don't even know what they ordered.

I always hear "I ordered a cheeseburger, and I got a double-cheeseburger"...


(For those not familiar with this place, the "little cheeseburger" has one patty, and the "cheeseburger" has two)

I just got introduced to this place. Good burgers!

Yeah, I have the attention span of....of something with a really short attention span. I can order food, and completely not pay attention while I'm ordering, and when I get my food, be like, "Is that what I ordered?" I pay money, food is placed in front of me, I eat the food. I usually don't question it. Once, at a steakhouse, I got halfway through my steak before my waiter brought out the sauteed mushrooms and apologized. I didn't even notice they were missing until just before he brought them over.

So, I can totally understand how someone can't even remember what they ordered, 'cause if I'm distracted by something whilst ordering (look! a puppy!), I'm not going to remember.
