I said “combo” instead of “meal” and broke Burger King.

I nearly caused a nationwide crisis by attempting to order a Whopper with pepper jack cheese instead of (nasty-ass) American “cheese.” I knew they had pepper jack because at the time it was available on another sandwich.

They completely could not understand what I was asking for so I just gave up. “Have it your way?” Not so much. And yes, this was in the US, we all spoke English and I asked for it politely and in several different ways. I just broke their script and that’s how most people operate.
