Customer: “But osso buco is supposed to be made with veal.”

-20 minutes later-

Cheer: “Careful, this plate is hot.”

Customer: “What’s this?”

Cheer: “Osso buco.”

Customer: “Oh.”

Cheer: “Is something wrong?”

Customer: “It doesn’t look like osso buco.”

Cheer: “Oh. That’s because you can’t read.”

Customer: “What?!”

Cheer: “The menu clearly states PORK OSSO BUCO, but you were expecting veal.”

Customer: “Yes, yes I was.”

Cheer: “Sucks to be you.”

Customer: “Yes, yes it does.”

Cheer: “Maybe you should learn to read. Literacy is pretty helpful in life.”

Customer: “I’ll just bow my head in shame and eat something I didn’t want cause I’m a lame-ass who can’t read.”

Cheer: “Enjoy!”

Friday:

Customer: “Can we split the osso buco?”

Cheer: “Sure. I’ll bring you an extra plate, because I’m just such a nice person.”

Customer: “Well, do you think they could split if for us in the kitchen?”

Cheer: “No.”

Customer: “Why not?”

Cheer: “Because there’s only one shank.”

Customer: “So…why can’t they split it?”

Cheer: “Did you ride the short bus to school?”

Customer: “I don’t know.”

Cheer: “Good to know who I’m dealing with.”

Customer: “So…the kitchen doesn’t like splitting entrées?”

Cheer: “No, the kitchen doesn’t have a bone saw.”

Customer: “I don’t get it.”

Cheer: “Obviously.”
