Actual conversation:
“I’d like a BLT please, with American cheese and mayonnaise.”
“Would you like lettuce?”
Is there cheese on a BLT? I mean, I thought it was BLT on rye with mayo. No cheese.
Isn’t that like asking for Swiss cheese on a Philly Steak Sub?
Ugh, I hate places that default with rye bread.
To the OP, did you want bacon with that also? 
Not quite as egregious, but I walked into a coffee shop once and had a similar sort of conversation:
Me: “I’d like a large double-double, please.”
Her: “Coffee?”
:smack:
(Yes, I realize she might have thought that tea was a possibility, but understand that this is a coffee shop, and better than 99% of their clientelle, day in and day out, order coffee, and they order it exactly like that with variation only in the cream/sugar content. “Double-double” is, in fact, in the Canadian Oxford dictionary because of its widespread prevalence)
Don’t tell me you like that nasty white bread with the consistency of marshmallows. :eek:
Rye, sourdough, heck, even pumpernickel. I also like the Italian bread with the sesame seeds on top.
Erm, so what is a “double-double”? Besides coffee, that is?
Ugh, no. Sourdough I love, wheat is better and I love 12 grain bread but it’s rarely an option. The place I normally get my sandwiches from has baguettes so that’s what I usually get.
I just can’t stand the taste of rye.
I make a killer homemade bread with all sorts of herbs in it…dill, sage, thyme, oregano, etc. Smells dreamy when it’s baking.
I hope you said “yes”. Some people need re-enforcement. I’t like the time a friend of mine asked for a plain cheeseburger - one without anything on it and was then asked if he wanted the cheese on it still. :eek: It would have be worse had he driven halfway to home to find only a naked hamburger on the bun!!
The only definition I know of is a coffee with two creams and two sugars.
Unless it’s also familiar bar lingo somewhere…
I thought it was double strength coffee.
Not being a coffee drinker, I didn’t know what was in the coffee to make it a “double-double.” Yep, I’m a dolt.
Hmmm, that sounds awesome. Send me a loaf? 
I once had this exchange in a restaurant in Gillette, Wyoming:
Me (reading from the very pretentious menu for a cow-town restaurant): What’s the soupe du jour?
Very young waitress (brightly): Oh! That’s the soup of the day! (Obviously having learned what the phrase meant yesterday).
Sort of the same thing:
I pre-ordered World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade from Fry’s Outpost. It’s due out in November (probably).
A few days later, got an email from Fry’s:
Fry’s: “The item you ordered is not in stock. Do you want to keep your order open?”
Me: “Well, yeah. That’s what pre-order means. The product isn’t out for another two months”.
Frys: “Thank you for your response. We’ll keep your order open for another 30 days.”
Me: “Oy.”
How about the recipe? It will have to wait until I get home…posting from work now. Bad ivylass!
Sounds great! email is in my profile. Hmm, herb bread…
I don’t drink coffee, but what floored me once was going to a Tim Hortons (which popularised the “double-double” terminology), having a friend ask for one, and THAT service person asking “how many creams or sugar?” I mean, you’d think it would be the first thing learned in Tim’s Training 101!
I might be able to top that -
I went to the local auto parts store with two coupons for cases of oil that were on sale and had a rebate. The only thing I purchased was the two cases of oil, so there was no confusion. I put the cases on the counter, handed the cashier the coupons, she rang them up, and then asked me:
“Would you like the rebate forms?”
I’m curious how many customers buy those cases of oil, present the coupons, and don’t want the rebate???
It is!
