>I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.Can anyone help me decipher this scene? I can't figure out why Nicholson's character decided to provoke the waitress like this. She was just doing her job...
Boomers get off on lording petty control over people in the service industry.
Another weeping for the slave thread

>>217381688>plain omeletteThat's scrambled eggs, just get scrambled eggs
>>217381688it was a generational thing in the 60s. She was a square with too many rules man. Diners represent repression and corporate conservatism breakfast needs to be free.

What I have never understood is his angry line, "I want you to hold it between your knees!" Maybe I'm thick, so forgive me. But if it's a sexual thing, wouldn't he say, "I want you to hold it between your legs!" I don't get knees.
>>217381688Checked. But what the hell is "wheat toast"?
>>217381688“I, Del Ike Applai (gnome), let no pot!”Wtf?
>>217381688>plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.When you're really hungry and making fuck all each month, this honestly sounds like a feast.
>>217382045I'm pretty sure he meant whole wheat toast not white bread.
Civvies would never understand the plight of the service industry chad
Okay but what fucking diner doesn't sell toast? He was in the right.
>>217381688I'm not relaying all that shit to our esl cook. Pick something from the menu retard.
>>217381688I never understood being rude to people handling your food. Do they get off to the thrill of someone spitting in their food?
