No, but I would have jammed it in her ear with relish...

I made sandwiches for customers for a lot of years, I completely understand your frustration...and soup, salads, etc.
My interest in eating won out over my desire to be lazy.The corned beef and cabbage lives to be leftovers another day.
Looks like a tomato sandwich with lettuce and bacon. Nothing wrong with that, but it also looks like a sandwich you need a big mouth to eat.
I'm just digging a deeper hole, aren't I?

Oh, I envy you two sandwich makers. I can't tell you how many times I have given a customer exactly what they asked for, only to find out that what they asked for was not what they wanted. Thirty years in, I can usually spot those customers up front, and I just did a bid for one today. A part of me hopes I don't get the job.

Oh, is this a "Today's Menu" thread?
Okay, I bought a good pork loin t-bone chop yesterday at the store. I seasoned it with garlic and cajun spices (I'm on a cajun spice ride this week), sous vide it, and seared it.
On the side, I took Tuesday's leftover roasted potatoes, and re-heated them in the deep fryer to get some crispy taters.
It was very good. Very mono-chromatic to look at, but tasty.

)

So happy for you being back home, K-Girl! I know exactly what it means to you. 
And about that photo? As long as "rotation" isn't "set" on a mobile device, you can turn it and see it the right way.
He didn't laugh, though, when I would remind him what my elbow lined up with when he was leaning over to clean my teeth. 
BTW, the sandwich wasn't that tall, and the tomato wasn't the bulk of the ingredients. It's just the way the sandwich is leaning (in spite of my makeshift sandwich picks) and the angle I shot at. And it was tasty. If you lived nearby, I would have made one for you, too.

Like from the dentist I had from my pre-teens up through well into my mid-20s. He would tell me "you're mouth is so small...except when you're talking".Looks like a tomato sandwich with lettuce and bacon. Nothing wrong with that, but it also looks like a sandwich you need a big mouth to eat.

The larger problem in Food Service is...the customer is impossible to please AND they are hungry...makes for a potent Perfect Storm. It's why I was never part of the wait staff. I just hung back in the kitchen and threw food at them until they were satisfied and/or left.

Another interesting thing is how you can serve 199 happy, satisfied people in one day, but it is that 200th that ruins if for you...I have considered taking the approach that there are no modifications or substitutions allowed, but that would be suicide and I know it...
On another note, has anybody ever seen I Like Killing Flies ? A documentary about a restaurant owner in NY..He takes no guff from any of his customers and kicks them out regularly..I'd love to do that...

I'd like to see that!
I once served a woman a bowl of hot water after months of her complaining about the number of calories in our soups. The owner approved and laughed his butt off when she complained I wanted to charge her for the bowl of "soup" that had been "handcrafted" just for her.

DD #2 asked me to take her to run her errands. Then DD #1 worked late so I dropped DD #2 off at home. Picked up DD #1 and we decided that 92F was to hot for cooking. So we went to a favorite dive little place for dinner.
The Lido In Hackensack. We ordered Sliced steak, salad, fantastic thin crust pizza. We brought take out home for hub and DD #2.

I don't doubt it. Customer service is not for the faint of heart.
