Comedy of Errorz

I left my house at 2:30 a.m. and went to Steak 'n Shake for "breakfast."  The place was unusually crowded.  I ordered my usual cheeseless California egg skillet with chicken.  But when the waitress brought it it had sausage.  I said I'd take it but she insisted she wanted to give me what I ordered.  So, she took it away, and I thought that the chicken must already be cooked, so it wouldn't take long.

She quickly came back with the original food, figuring I could eat it while I was waiting.  I figured I would just take the chicken home, but then she comes back 10 mins later and announces that the cook is making a whole new skillet for me.  So, then I asked her if it's no cheese and she said she'd check.

But then, maybe 10 more mins later, she says he made it with cheese so he's going to make a new one, and I said I don't need it, but she again insisted that she wanted me to have what I originally ordered.  I said, well I guess you should make it to go.  It seems that she assumed that.

But then maybe 10 more mins went by and I was finished eating and she said the cook hadn't started the new skillet yet and I told her to just forget it and she finally accepted it.

She didn't seem to understand that I ordered chicken in the first place because it's supposedly healthier than the sausage.  If I wanted sausage I could have gotten it for a lot cheaper at McDonald's -- which I often do.  It's not like I don't eat sausage.  I went to Steak 'n Shake for something a little different than what's easily available elsewhere.
