Fast Fools

So the other day I'm getting take-out at a fast food place and this is how the conversation went:

OrderTaker>> May I take your order?
Me>> Yes. One Beef Chao Fan (Fried Rice) please. For take-out.

OrderTaker>> Would you like to add toppings sir?

Me>> Hmm.. yes. Lumpia.

OrderTaker>> Sorry sir we're out of Lumpia.

Me>> Oh.. Ok, do you have the Siomai?

OrderTaker>> Sorry sir we're out of Siomai.

Me>> ...

At this point, I don't even want anything with my rice anymore. I'm just curious enough to ask...

Me>> ... And the Dumplings?
OrderTaker>> Sorry sir we're out of Dumplings.

Me>> ...
Me>> What do you have then?
OrderTaker>> All we have is egg.

Egg. Egg? I don't want an EGG on my rice. I want something meatier.

Now, I'm not saying egg is no good with rice. I'm just saying i was expecting something else at the time. Especially since she offered me -toppings-.

I wanted my Lumpia.

Lady, do NOT offer me "toppings" next time when all you have is EGG.
It would have been better to ask me "Would you like an egg with your rice?"

Me>> Just give my order.

Maybe I was just hungry.
