Lost in the Translation

Ok, so my daughter is taking phoned-in orders at a steak and burger delivery place. (Which by the way she will not let me take a picture of her in her official uniform.)

So she gets a call yesterday and the woman calling in an order in broken english wants "a hamburger with cheese"

So my daughter repeats the order back "a cheesburger"

"No no no" ... "I want hamburger with cheese on it" ... "not cheeseburger"

– ? – ? – ? –

Ok... so she got that instead. ... Glad my days of dealing with the public are over.

Uh yeah, the hamburger is ALWAYS cheaper, everyone knows that. That's why she ordered a hamburger with cheese and NOT the cheeseburger.
