My chinese food experience tonight:

Chinese food guy (CFG): Hey-ro and thank you for calling Panda Palace!
Crow (WC): Hi there, I'd like an order of Garlic chicken with white rice for pickup?
CFG: Ho, ok.
CFG:..............
WC: Ok, cool....how much?
CFG: *tap*tip*tap* .....$7.15...this is for pickup?
WC: Yes. BTW, Does that come with onions or waterchestnuts?
CFG: ........
WC: Can I get that without any onions or waterchestnuts? Hello?
CFG: ......Ok for pick up?
WC: Yes please, but can I get no onions or waterchestbuts?
CFG: OH yes! you name sir?
WC: Mark.
CFG: Ok mawk....see you in a jif.
WC: Ok thanks!
WC: <PROFIT!>

I show up, get the food, take it back to work, open it up and find it full of onions and waterchestnuts. One onion in particular was the size of fvcking Georgia!

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!

At least you got a LOT of food for $7.15.. even if it is just an onion.

You make fun of his English, he owns you with onions and water chestnuts. You decide the winner.

You speak engrish you no get waht you want.

The place I order from, usually goes like this:

Her: Hello, <chinese restaurant>
DMan: I'd like to place an order for takeout*
Her: Foh pickah?
Dman: Yes for pickup.
Her: ok, number?
Dman: 555-12*
her: fi pause fi pause fi
Dman: <sighs> 1234
her: one <pause> two <long pause>
Dman: <sighs> 3 4
her: one two free foh Ok waht you want?
Dman: I'd like one order of beef and broccoli w/ fried rice and an eggroll (Wife always orders this)
Her: <repeats back> Yes, OK
Dman: And <I order something else here>
Her: <Repeats back> yes, OK, anything else?
Dman: Side of house duck sauce and
Her: House duck sauce
Dman: and a side of house hot mustard and
Her: Side hot mustard
Dman: please and a bag of fried noodles
Her: OK, anything else
Dman: Yeah, some fried noodles please (I repeat because she didn't repeat it like everything else)
Her: Yes, fried noodles ok that's all?
Dman: Yes thank you.
Her: ready in 10 mins see you.

Amazingly they pretty much always get it right, so, even though she makes me pause after every part (*which I now have fixed because I'm trained) I still order from them. They have excellent General Tso's chicken, and a few other dishes, one who works there wearing skimpy clothing sometimes which makes pickup that much more enjoyable.
