years ago I was out shopping with my sister and decided to stop at local Bridgeman's for lunch. She ordered her hamburger first and I told the waitress I would have the same. My sister's lunch came and the waitress set a empty plate in front of me and walked away. We were craning our necks to see over the counter to make sure the burger hadn't slid to the floor while also trying to get the waitress' attention. before long we were looking for Allen Funt and the "Candid Camera" crew. We finally managed to snag another waitress and after she told us "this isn't my station" got her to listen to our dilemma. She rounded up our waitress who came back and profusely apologized. She thought i had said" just a plate" and thought we were going to share the burger. My burger was forthcoming and we were given a discount on the bill for the inconvenience.
