restaurant fun in haiti...

it doesn't so much matter what you ordered or what you want. you just take what you get.

I was at a restaurant with some friends. one friend and i decided to try the pizza. we wanted a medium pepperoni pizza. we were told they couldn't serve us a medium, only a large. for whatever reason- their medium pizza pan just wasn't working... only the large. okay. then we'll take a large pepperoni pizza. come to find out, they are out of pepperoni too. (please note- we weren't just making up things that we wanted, we made our choices off of a menu). okay. then we'll just take a cheese. she then asks if we want anything on it. yes, we do. we wanted pepperoni but you told us you didn't have any so we settled for cheese. we finally get the pizza ordered. unsure of what we were going to end up with. we got a large pizza with green onions and tomato.

at another restaurant. we were a fairly large group. our orders are pretty simple, mostly sticking with cheese burgers & chicken sandwiches, with a few exceptions. i ordered a ham sandwich. the waiter brought out about half of the orders and we had to wait a little longer for the rest. the other orders kinda came out one at a time. a lady was brought her club sandwich. the waiter was also holding a chicken sandwich. we told him no one else was waiting on a chicken sandwich. he walks away. then comes back, still holding the chicken sandwich. he then tells her that what he gave her wasn't the club, he accidently gave her the chicken. except, it didn't look anything like the other 6 chicken sandwiches that were ordered. and what was in front of her and exactly what the menu said a club sandwich would have. we just shooed him away and told him it was fine. though he insisted she had the wrong thing. me and one other girl are waiting for our ham sandwiches. the waiter comes holding two plates. he says one is a ham sandwich, i take it. he says the other is a club. we told him we were needing another ham, not club. so then he just changes the name of it. oh, well, then this IS the ham sandwich. my ham sandwich had no ham on it. just cheese, lettuce and tomato. her ham sandwich was actually the club.

Epi'dor is fun because you never really know what you are going to get to drink. they might be out of coke, but they don't tell you that. they just let you order a coke, then they hand you a luke-warm fruit drink. or, from our team's experience--- you try to clarify that you want a coke to drink, and they yell at you telling you that a coke comes w/ the meal. yet the people before you didn't clarify they wanted a coke, and they ended up with.... something else. or, you say "two cokes" and the receipt says "one coke one sprite". you just never know.
