Dear Drunken Idiots,
You: Can I have two pounds of wings?
Me: We don't have pounds, but you could get a half order, which is roughly seven wings, or a double order, which is about 14.
Jon does have a point. The pound system IS the wing system. Though I would argue that the pound system does not, in actuality, make sense. I find I never know how much that is and feel too stupid to ask so will just order something else. Whereas, if it said "7 wings", I'd be happier about this clarity.
One more thing: Is that accurate? Is the double order really double the amount of the HALF order? This makes no mathematical sense. Who can I blame this on?
Hey! I'ma defend this here. Wings SHOULD be served in pounds. This is expected! Like, could you imagine...
ReplyDeleteYou: Can I have a cup of coffee?
Me: We don't have cups. You could get a half-serving, which is 175mL, or a full-serving, which is about 350mL.
You: (speechless)
