The only places around here that serve chicken gravy is chicken places (KFC). Otherwise it's brown or white. And, my hubby eats his BLT with olives, jalepeno, and no tomato.
I've waited tables, and caught myself asking my share of stupid questions - not because I wasn't listening, but because you get in a routine of questions to ask. Some one orders eggs - you ask how they want them cooked - and sometimes the questions slips out even if they've already given the answer. And background noise is killer when the person talking to you is looking down at the menu.
