Lost In Translation

I Placed my lunch order over the phone.  "A child's plate."  "With the chicken burrito."  You know how when you're talking to someone and it's definitely getting lost in translation?  So I show up to pick up my lunch and of course it's the full size chicken burrito plate.  Way too much food for me which is why I order the children's plate.  The person trying to ring up the order was not the person that screwed it up, so of course she was trying to figure out what went wrong and had to go talk to order-taking girl.  Order taking girl proceeded to tell cashier girl, in Spanish,  which I'm sure she thought I couldn't understand, that I was stupid and didn't know what I'd ordered.  I proceeded to inform her, in English, that I knew exactly what I'd ordered and if she called me stupid again she better come out from behind that counter to do it.  The cooks laughed out loud.  Pretty sure I can't eat there for a while or she will put special seasoning on my burrito.  :-)
