Today, I ordered a plain cheeseburger. The cashier was confused, so I explained, "Just meat and cheese." When I got my food, my burger didn't have a bun. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML
Today, I ordered two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's and asked for one of them without pickles so they would think I was ordering for two people. Both burgers were for me. FML
Today, at Burger King, I was coming back from break. A customer screamed at me because she ordered a double cheeseburger without pickles, and they were put on anyway. She threw it in my face. My face was covered in ketchup mustard and pickle. Did I mention I was on a break and had nothing to do with this? FML
Today, I went to the drive-through and ordered 5 cheeseburgers. I told the cashier that some of them were for my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, and I ate all of them by myself. FML
Today, I went to Jack in The Box to grab a quick hamburger. I was in a hurry, so I didn't check my order. By the time I opened the bag, I was really hungry. Unfortunately, the burger looked like a 5-year-old wrapped it, and the burger looked bitten into. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were out to eat. The waiter came and asked what we wanted. My boyfriend said he wanted a cheeseburger and I told the waiter I'd have the same. My boyfriend looked at me and said, "Are you sure you don't want a salad?" FML
Today, I found a bone in my sandwich. It was a veggie burger. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza for delivery, and when it arrived, the box was completely empty except for a receipt and a piece of lettuce. I called the restaurant, and they insisted I must’ve eaten it all, and was just pretending. I took a picture of the empty box and the soggy piece of lettuce to prove them wrong. It didn't work. FML
Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza with extra cheese and no tomatoes. The pizza delivery guy handed me the box, and as I opened it, I discovered that they had delivered me a pizza… with only tomatoes and no cheese. I called the pizza place to complain, but they just said, “Well, tomatoes are technically fruit, so it’s healthy.” FML

A fair point, but generally most places will still give you a bun unless you directly specify that you want it without one.

How has no one talked about the fact that someone working fast food didn't know what a cheeseburger was? I'm so confused with everyone blaming the guy who ordered the burger.

I mean, if they're uncertain of what you meant they probably thought it safer to just give you exactly what you asked for even if it seemed stupid to them. Because it could be the exact same situation if you got it in a bun and then got all worked up going "I TOLD you, only meat and cheese! Can't you people understand basic English?".

Exactly this. The amount of times someone probably requests something really weird, so they do what makes more sense, and then get in trouble for it, is probably staggering. They figure at this point it's better to do exactly what was requested even if it's weird. People are weird and often like to eat really weird things. Can't imagine the stuff they must hear.

I've previously worked at a fast food restaurant and it actually wasn't uncommon for customers for ask for burgers without the bun. Also, if they put it into the till as you said it, that would result in a burger that is just meat and cheese.

These comments are annoying and not creative. Please stop.

The cashier could've taken you more literally and handed you a frozen meat disc (aka patty)

In future order by telling them what you don't want on it. eg. cheese burger no pickle, no onion, no ketchup.

Almost every fast food place I know has a 'plain' preset which is effectively just bun+meat+cheese (if applicable to said burger), no other condiments unless specified. So if you take your typical cheese burger (bun, meat, cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion and pickle) You could order: cheeseburger, plain w/ bbq sauce and mayo resulting: bun, meat, cheese, bbq sauce & mayo The bun is always implied unless you specifically remove it from the order,

You asked for just meat and cheese. You got just meat and cheese. How is the cashier supposed to know the diffrence between you and a low carber/celiac who asks for meat and cheese and wants just that with no bun? Next time if you want meat, cheese and bread ask for meat, cheese and bread.

a customer with dietary requirements should specify if they want something different as the cashier isn't psychic. you shouldn't have to specify basic inclusions like a bun
