Husband tried to order a club sandwich at a restaurant this afternoon. It came, and we were taking the tomato off some of it so I could eat it. Then, looking at it, Husband said, "...where is the meat?"

They had brought out a club consisting of bread, lettuce and cheese.

Took forever for them to bring out a replacement, but they did. Definitely had meat. Only meat. No lettuce, no cheese. It was a Mirrorverse club.

They got it right on the third try, but the manager admitted that there's a communication barrier, and when things are busy, he has to stand at the window and make sure the food is right. He didn't comp or discount it either, which I didn't appreciate.

Dude. Hire someone who speaks better English, or you learn better Spanish, or figure something out. A club sandwich is not complicated.

I needed to stop at the grocery store after work, but I really didn't want to. So I have completed my descent into the bourgoisie and ordered the few things I need to be delivered later this evening. I find the line between self-care and laziness to be very vague.

Truer words = never spoken

A club sandwich is not complicated.

Seriously, and you should not have paid for that sandwich!

A club sandwich is s little complicated. If it's on the menu it really shouldn't take 3 tries, though.

I'll also note that the Spanish for meat, tomato, lettuce and bread isn't exactly Level 201, although I don't know if that includes 'bacon' or not.

Pretty sure it's "bacon" in Spanish. It is in portuguese.

Ha! Just looked it up, and it's el tocino OR el beicon. Bacon truly is part of the international language.

You can also use lunchar (to lunch) in at least some Spanish-speaking places, so I guess English takes over when the concept is pretty American.

In other news, I just ran into a former coworker on the street, and I know I know her, but still have basically no idea who she is! Good times.
