"Can't You Just Make Me Some Chicken?"
February 18, 2005

So there was a gorgeous buffet station filled with Fabulous foods. At the request of The Client, The Menu was set for meat lovers (prime rib) and vegetarians (pasta primavera) alike.


"Excuse me lady? Hey, Caterer? Hey - YOU!"
Eyebrow Raised. Smile Food Whore - Smile. "Yes? How can I help you?"

"Is that Prime Rib at the carving station?"

"It sure is!"

"Is there chicken?"

"No, I am sorry, there is not."

"Well why isn't there chicken?"

"The Client did not prefer to have chicken."

"Well, is there any way to get chicken?"

Well yes, there is a KFC down the road.

"I am sorry, there's no chicken tonight. But there is a lovely pasta primavera if you don't prefer the prime rib."

"Well can't you just make me some chicken?"

"No, I am sorry. The meal is not made to order."

"Shit. This sucks."


Indeed it does.

Good lord you have super self control... And you sure have been tested! Some of the people you run into are examples of 'just cause' for murder. Okay, maybe that's dramatic but whew, you have self control, girl... ~;^) I can't help but wonder how some of these people get invited anyway.

Wow, I probably would have kicked his butt out the door. He can have the chicken, bring on the prime rib!

"Can you just make chicken?"

Numbnut must not ever have been to a catered event before, eh?

Some people.

"Bite me" strikes me as an appropriate reply. After all, someone that ignorant wouldn't be using your services anyway, and I'm sure no one would ask him for a recommendation. :-)
