The types of people who come into a burger restaurant

Burger from my work

The Jokester: Unable to order like a human being, the jokester feels the need to make cheesy jokes throughout his order to lighten the mood. Little does he know, he is one of many and I've heard them all before.  Ex. After ordering many toppings on his burger "Hehe, do you think they'll be enough room for the meat haha?" Yes, yes there will be, so stop.

The Fatty: Too preoccupied with the expectations of burgers to even bother saying hello to the cashier, he struggles to spit out his toppings just overjoyed by the food he will soon be ingesting. His words are usually punctuated by heavy breathing, just standing is a struggle. Ex.  *heavy breath* "Burger, cheese, bacon, uhhh, all-dressed." *heavy breath*

The Way Too Nice Girl:  This particular type of customer seems very interested in being nice to the cashier, but she's not. She's not actually listening to what you're saying, too caught up with being 'nice' she seems fake and its obvious. Ex.
Her: Hi! How are you today?!
Me: Sad and despondent.
Her: Thats great! So I'll have a hamburger... etc.

The Baller: This customer is more interested in throwing his money on the counter for other people to see than in the food that he will soon be eating. He won't look you in the eye because you work at a burger restaurant and surely must be a drain on society with now worth outside of serving him a burger.  He will probably be texting while ordering or hooked up to his bluetooth device. Once the order is complete he will throw either a 50 or a 100 on the counter. Ex.
Him: *talking on his bluetooth* Hey ya sorry, just a minute, I'm ordering food. *to me* I'll just have a fries.
Me: That'll be $3.45
Him: *throws a hundred on the counter and continues talking on phone*

The Stoner: This customer is high as fuck. He is unaware of his surroundings but driven by an undeniable urge to eat anything and everything. He's nice, but confused, which sometimes makes taking his order a little annoying, but generally a good guy. Ex.
Him: Uhhh can I get a burger, and a poutine, and a milkshake.
Me: What do you want on the burger?
Him: uhhh, what? everything? huh?
Me: okay... I'm just gonna choose for you
Him: Uhh, okay, thanks man!

The Vegetarian: Why a vegetarian would wander into a burger restaurant is beyond me, but it happens much more often than expected. They are very entitled to their meatless alternatives. Ex.
Her: Umm do you have any vegetarian options?
Me: Uhh yeah, we have a portobello burger.
Her: You don't have a tofu burger
Me: No sorry.
Her: Why not?
Me: I dunno, I didn't make the menu.
Her: Fine, I'll have the portobello burger.

More to Come!
