Sandwhich Nazi
When I worked at my old employer, one of the coworkers went to a local sandwhich shop. She got a sandwhich that had one of the burns burned really black. So she took it back to the counter and asked to speak to the manager. The manager took the bun, and then threw it into the trash. She asked for another one and he shouted "No sandwhich for you!". So she called him a Sandwhich Nazi after the Seinfield Episode of the Soup Nazi. She called and complained to the parent company that gave that store its francise, a few months later and the store was still there but under a different name.
Give me a BLT and hold the Bacon. I get the same look when I go into a White Castles and tell them to hold the onions. The girl at the counter who wears too much blue eyeshadow just rolls her eyes at me and says "Yeah, right, whatever!" :)

Hold the onions?
If you don't like onions, what the hell are you doing in White Castle in the first place? Isn't that like a signature for the chain? Greasebuger fried on top of steaming, greasy onions.
When I visit the aquarium, the same thought keeps running through my mind; Leemmmooonnn, Buuttteerrr, MMMmmmmmm good!

How about hold the hamburger?
Had a friend who's son was a veggie. When they went to McDonlds she would order a "Cheeseburger, hold the meat". Usually took a manager to get the order placed....

Similar thing happened with a long ago girlfriend
No veggie burgers back then. We would go to Burgur King drive thru and I would put her order in as "Whopper, double everything, no meat". As long as we went to the neighborhood BK, no problem. Try it on the road somewhere and expect to wait awhile and send the order back a couple times.

The McVegimite new from McDonald's
Actually I do believe that McDonald's does have a grilled cheese sandwich, which is not on the regular menu but there anyway. You can ask for it, and the girl at the counter will blink a few times until another employee will remind her what key to press.
It will be grilled on the same grill that their burgers get grilled on, if you don't mind that.
Also some of their products, like the McRib, are mostly soybeans anyway. :)

How about hold the cheese?
I actually witnessed this in the place where I used to have lunch. Someone ordered a cheeseburger and said to hold the cheese. The waitress tried to explain for 5 minutes that a cheeseburger without cheese was a hamburger but that she would have to charge her for a cheeseburger. In the end, she just capitulated because the other customers were threatening to eat the furniture.

The customer just playing with her (and your) mind, perhaps?

Scape them off then!
Whatever happened to "The customer is always right"? Do I have to quote that "Falling Down" movie? ;)
I don't visit White Castle very much, but my wife loves them. There was one near our old house. She would bring some back after she got off of work.
You can almost make the same thing using a roll and a small hamburger patty that you press into a square. it doesn't taste the same, but you get the idea. I remember when those White Castle hambugers cost 25 cents each, now they are like 75 cents or something like around that price range. The cheese fries used to use real cheese, now they just use some sort of orange/yellowish gunk that tastes like cheese but is way watered down.
