LOL! That’s pretty funny. This is a WAG, but perhaps cheeseburgers without meat have been ordered for picky-eater children before–those children who’d rather have a cheese sandwich, I guess.
As for the “vegetarian Whoppers”, why don’t these people go to Subway and order a “Veggie Delight” sandwich? Then at least you are not paying for meat you are not eating.
… and I said ‘no salt’ NO SALT on the margarita! I will take my money to a competing resort…
Couldn’t help thinking of this guy while reading your OP. I love Office Space.
Why don’t you try ordering a coke with no cup… see how they handle that one.
Okay, so people order cheeseburgers with no meat. I got that now. Thanks. 
But she still confused “no mustard” with “no meat” (I don’t even know how) and she did read the order back to me as no mustard. But the receipt said no meat. And I still find the whole thing really, really funny. Stupid people. Mustard. Meat. I don’t understand the confusion between the two. Oh well.
Coke with no cup… Hehehe. (I am going to try some of these someday.)
I’m a picky eater and I don’t like a lot of extra stuff on burgers, so when I go to Checkers I order a burger without the lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc. After getting the wrong order many, many times, I finally came up with a method that seems to work: I tell the person that I want a burger with just cheese, pickles and ketchup.
After reading this thread I’m thinking that I should also mention that I want meat. And a bun. 
Caution - doing this stuff is a good way to get “a little something special” in your food.
A few weeks ago, a friend and I were on a road trip. We stopped at Arby’s, and the guy taking our order was kinda slow, so my friend got a little miffed at him… Well, I was kinda scared, so we raced to the pick-up window so we could make sure we got no “special sauce in our food.”
Thinking quickly, I decided to be the good guy to contrast his mean guy attitude - I whipped out my accordion which I happened to have in the back seat (it’s a big mofo too, but bodily fluid free food is worth the trouble) and sang a sweet little impromptu ballad entitled “Please don’t spit on my Giant Roast Beef Sandwich.”
Well, yeah. Isn’t that obvious? Anyway, it’d be entertaining. Not like I’d actually eat the food. I just realized I have quite a few funny McDonalds stories. There was that one time we drove through the drive thru in reverse… Don’t ask, but I will tell you we got kicked out. Seriously, they were going to call the cops. Don’t do that.
One time at Subway my friend ordered a steak’n’cheese sub. The ‘sandwich artist’ asked him if he wanted cheese,(out of habit, I guess) and my friend said no. It seemed kind of surreal at the time, since nobody else noticed anthing strange.
I swear, if I didn’t know better I would swear you were my older brother.
How do you know better? 
I love fast food places. They’re so much fun. Like that time Dairy Queen forgot to put bacon on my sister’s Bacon Cheeseburger, and she was too afraid to say anything. (We didn’t notice until we got home and she’d already eaten part of it.) So I called the manager and told him we wanted a new one, we’d be down in 5 minutes to pick it up. He said okay but we had to bring the other one with us. So we did.
A few minutes after we got there, we got the partially eaten, now very cold, burger back with bacon on it. (Folks, do not come to fast food places with me. Really, it’s embarrassing. Just don’t come anywhere in public with me. Hehehe.) Me (not very quietly because it was pretty loud in there): “What, in the name of Christ, is this?!” The manager (actually, Shift Manager, who was probably still in high school): “It’s a Bacon Cheeseburger.” Me: “Let me tell you how this works…” After a decade of arguing with this kid, we got a new Bacon Cheeseburger, which I (quite obviously) inspected. After a polite “Thanks for wasting half of my god damn day” and such, we left.
Yes, but without the fries. Just the container. I’m trying to increase my fiber intake.
Sheesh, Silver. You have way more patience than I do. I’d have been cursing up a storm all the way back.
A friend of mine actually had the same experience at a Carl’s Jr. recently, but it just opened, so it’s understandable. He picked up his sandwich, thought “Hmmm, that’s awful light,” looked inside, and there was no chicken. And the manager had the nerve to look irritated at him. Probably because they were screwing up every other order.
Smeg, I was laughing my ass off!!! I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I still do. Hehehe… Anyway, the woman in the first window was really bitchy to me. She was rolling her eyes and mumbling and stuff. I don’t really know what she was saying though because I was too busy laughing my ass off at her. I’m still giggling over it.
i work at mcd’s, and we often get requests for burgers without meat. i’ve had people bitch and moan cuz they have to pay full price, even thoguh the’re not getting the meat. like we have a button on our register for it. we sell grilled cheese sandwiches, but they’re not on the menu. we also have this lady who comes though regularly who wants just meat and cheese in a box, no bun. weird eating habits…
