The discussion about ordering a sandwich reminded me of the exchange in Five Easy Pieces (1972) between Jack Nicholson and the waitress who would not allow him to deviate from the choices on the menu.

He basically wanted a side of wheat toast but this did not come with the menu item he wanted.

Jack: "What do you mean you don't make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?"

Waitress: "Would you like to talk to the manager?"

Jack: "You've got bread and a toaster of some kind?"

Waitress: "I don't make the rules."

Jack: "OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee."

Waitress: "A number two, chicken sal san, hold the butter, the lettuce and the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?"

Jack: "Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules."

Waitress: "You want me to hold the chicken, huh?"

Jack: "I want you to hold it between your knees."
