I’ll have what she’s having . . .

by duncanr

There’s a part in the film ‘When Harry met Sally’ where a woman diner – when asked by a waiter what she wants – says ‘I’ll have what she’s having’

This idea of having what the person before you ordered is exactly what you can expect if you visit the Kashiwa Mystery Cafe in southern Japan.

You place your order. What’s delivered to your table is what the customer in front of you ordered. In turn, what you ordered is given to the folk who come into the Cafe after you.

What you pay for is what you ordered – not what is delivered to your table.

I know what you’re thinking (same as me) – what prevents folk from ordering the least expensive item on the menu and taking a chance the folk in front of them didn’t do likewise.

‘Shame’, apparently.

Well it might work in Japan, but I very much doubt it would work in Brum.

  1. Maccas have been doing that for years. I always get someone else’s friggin order !

  2. I think I just read that the woman who said that line just passed away.

  3. Hey, if I’m going to a restaurant, I’ll be darned if I’ll eat what someone else ordered. (Although, many a time what they’re eating tends to look better! Of course, that wouldn’t be the case in this restaurant.)

  4. so Duncan: what’s your beef? the orgasm bit or the food bit? :grin:
