A Pizza Hut Order (2003-02-18)
Recently I had gone 2 Pizza Hut vit my dear roomies... I really do not have anything against them... but it seemed like tey had never given an order before!! tey ver so confused n utterly confused the waiter too!! But dat was not wot irritated me.. it was the "artificial" accent dat this guy kept adding to his words that got 2 my head..
Imagine a guy who in a normal "Indian" conversation wud call a "Ship" a "Ship" and a "Sheep" also a "Ship".. now imagine a person like him adding an accent!!
It was quite hilarious actually to think about it... Ill try 2 narrate it D best I can.. tough I kno that half the fun was in D way he was pronouncing the words and the other half was his ignorance about commonly used terms and phrases..
Waiter: Yes sir how can I help you
Roomie1: ya plez... we wud like a... a...
Me(butting in to remind him): Garlic Bread
Roomie1 : ya.. garlic braid .. 1 plez.. and 1 coke .. 1 plez... and 1 vegetarian peezza .. big 1
Roomie2: aree ek coke nahi.. teen coke.
Me (Correcting him partly) : Dat wud b a family size pizza.
Waiter: Ok sir.. we do not have coke.. but..
Roomie1 (Before he finishes) : aree Coke nahi hai iske paas.. fanta chalega??
Roomie2: orange juice hai kya pooch
Me: Please make it a cola instead of coke (I knew it by default dat Pizza hut does not serve Coke but serves Pepsi)
Waiter: ok sir.. anything else?
Roomie1: ya.. (in an assertive tone confirming that pepsi is ok)
Waiter: (Still waiting .. asuming dat the "ya" meant he wished 2 order something more).. wot wud u like to have sir?
Roomie1: 3 pepsi
Waiter: (confused). Ok.. so 1 Gemuse pizza, 4 cola? (Gemuse is german for Vegetarian)
Roomie1: No No.. not gemuse.. vegetarian.. (ok..this was not my roomies fault) only with cheez, tomaetus, and u no... no phork, haem or shikean aend all that..
Waiter: ok sir, Vegetarian pizza will have brocoli, onions, olives and cheez. If u wish to have tomatoes, I wud suggest u order a Margeritta with extra toppings...
Roomie1: No No.. 1 vegetarian pizza
Waiter (scratching out something in his pad) : Ok.. 1 "vegetarian" pizza and 4 cola.
Roomie1 : No No.. 3 pepsi not cola
Waiter : ok.. 3 cola
Roomie1 : No No.. 3 pepsi
Me (butting in finally): Just to repeat the order.. We wud have 1 Garlic Bread.. 4 peices.. with cheese, 1 Vegitarian pizza.. family size, and 3 cola... large.
Waiter (finally getting the confusion out of his head) : Yes sir (and he walks away)
And all thru dat evening I just kept thinkin how much time tey wasted just for a 1 line order!!
