Never Before But Oh So Cool!

So I just ordered shrimp dumpling, vegetable soup, and beef fried rice for delivery.  Nothing out of the ordinary—-this I do know.  However, what was very far from ordinary was how the gentleman at the restaurant ended our conversation. Here is how the conversation unfolded.

Guy: “Ok, what would you like to order?”

Me: “Shrimp Dumpling.”

Guy: “Ok, what else?”

Me: “Vegetable soup.”

Guy: “Ok, what else?”

Me: “Beef fried rice.”

Guy: “Ok, what else?”

Me: “That’s all.”

Guy: “Ok, bye.”

Priceless I tell you.  I loved it.  No thank you’s or the standard, and frankly overdone, exchanging of pleasantries.  The order was placed.  We are good to go.  Never has a call of mine to a restaurant ended both so abruptly AND thoroughly, simultaneously.

Props to Pot Pan.
