The conversation I had today at a local taqueria:
Oh-So-Helpful-Worker-Bee: Hallo! What you like?
Jester: I would like 2 “El Gringo Tacos,” please. [An El Gringo is described on the menu board as Lettuce, Tomato, Salsa, Choice Meet, Beans, Cheese, Guacamole.]
OSHWB: Ok. How many? Three?
Jester: Two.
OSHWB: Ok. [She gathered four small tortillas and tossed them on the grill]
OSHWB: What beans? [She starts scooping refried beans out of the tub.]
Jester: Black beans, please.
OSHWB: Ok. You want black?
Jester: Yes. Thank you.
OSHWB: Veggie Tacos? [She starts tossing lettuce and tomatoes on the tortillas.]
Jester: No, El Gringo. With chicken please.
OSHWB: Ok. [She moves away from the tub of chicken and back towards the refrigerated case.]
OSHWB: You want cilantro?
Jester: No thank you, I don’t care for cilantro.
OSHWB: Ok. Hot salsa?
Jester: Hot is fine, yes.
OSHWB: Ok. Onion? Makes spicy? [She turns her back to me and blocks my view of the tacos.]
Jester: No thank you, the salsa will be fine.
OSHWB: Ok. [She walks my freshly made tacos to the register where another helpful worker bee is waiting.]
OSHWB: Aqui! I mean, here you go!
Jester: Uh. Thanks.
Register Worker Bee: You want drink?
Jester: Yes, a root beer, please.
RWB: Ok. [She materializes a bright orange soda from the under-counter refrigerator and sets it on the counter.]
RWB: Ok. Two veggie tacos with extra cilantro. That is eight and sixty-five.
Jester: Are the two of you sisters?
RWB: Ok. What?
Jester: Nevermind.
The veggie tacos and orange soda were delicious.
Except for the cilantro.
LOL! That’s why I always make the hubby do the ordering for me…I have no patience.
Were you at El Pollo Retardo?
damnit! Avi stole my line!
Wait, you ATE the fucked up taco?
No friggin’ way would I have eaten a veggie taco. That’s just unamerican!
Robin – The same hubby who is always humping your leg? Seems you don’t have it so bad afterall…
Avitable – I think it was it was the El No Speak-o English-o.
Da Duck – He’s bad about that. He should be flogged.
Miss Britt – Did you honestly think I was going to go through that process all over again to get what I actually wanted?
I definitely have it very good.
OMG! Sheesh! I think some of his/her siblings have been put to work in some Dutch food places… For sure!
Robin – Just remember that later when you want to whack him on the nose with a newspaper.
DutchBitch – LOL I have a feeling that family is quite large.
