Other times, I order ADDING or even at a time or two ordered by saying "I would like the mozzarella sticks and I would like to ADD a side of ranch" or a few times I have said "I would like the mozzarella sticks with a side of ranch."
Here's a menu description for example:
http://www.carside.net/menu_popup.htm
"MOZZARELLA STICKS Golden fried and served with a tasty marinara sauce. $6.69"
This means that if I order mozzarella sticks, I AUTOMATICALLY am ORDERING the marinara unless I SPECIFICALLY say I don't want the marinara, which is the sauce it comes with that I am PAYING for, which at most restaurants, they don't even charge for extra condiments.
WHY is it that servers ASSUME you could ONLY POSSIBLY WANT ONE SAUCE, especially when APPETIZERS are normally SHARED, which means that one person may want ranch, the other may want marinara or both people may want more than one sauce. WHY is it that SOME servers are too STUPID to take an order at times?
I shouldn't even have to say "I would like to ADD a side of ranch" in order to get both sauces, because the MENU has that I am supposed to get the other sauce, which in this case is marinara. I should be able to just say "I would like the mozzarella sticks with ranch." Servers, quit thinking it's totally impossible to have more than one dipping sauce and if it's free to the customer, WTF should you give a care if you give me both? The customer is already paying for the sauce it comes with in the price of the item.
The server should NEVER asks if I want both sauces if extra sauces aren't being charged to the customer if I don't say I don't want the sauce it comes with or if I don't say it's a substitution, because it's free the extra sauces, so the customer isn't going to be affected by the extra sauce since it's on the SIDE anyway, so it's not affecting the food itself.
i say "with" when i mean "substitution" like i would say "can i get the turkey melt with wheat bread" and i would expect only wheat bread, no sourdough.
