I Have a Question

Aight I'll keep this one brief


I was recently standing in line at Shakey's - and if you've ever been you know the menu is on the wall up front - and perusing their menu as it had been about a year and a half since I'd last been to the pizza parlor


Can I ask a question?



In the category of completely unnecessary fucking words to add to a menu, this one takes all the cakes

Admittedly, I may or may not have been high, whatever, that's not important. Because I don't think I had to be high for me to lol to myself for a good five fucking minutes when I saw this. Here's my question


When have you ever heard of a chicken strip with bones? If a piece of chicken has a bone, (ahem) it's not a fucking chicken strip!!


Gracias


So is it really fucking necessary to advertise your chicken strips as boneless? How exactly would that conversation go on the phone?


Shakey's: Shakeys pizza


Me: Yeah, how you doin', y'all got chicken strips right?


Shakey's: Oh yes, and our special chicken strips are boneless


Me (pauses): I-I beg your fucking pardon


Shakey's: Yes sir, I know it's hard to believe, but our special chicken strips are in fact boneless


Me: Wow, this muthafucka is seri-- Ok, next question. See, I'm allergic to boneless chicken strips. Where's the closest place I can go to find some regular ass, non-special bone-in chicken strips?


Shakey's: Sir, are you just pulling my chain here? We all know there's no such thing


Me: Reeeally? That's Interesting


Then I hung up the fucking phone and called Popeye's


Why waste your money adding that part to the menu, Shakey's? Why?
