Say you’re an estimable North Evergreen gent cruising around in your shiny black Audi. It’s a bright, sunny morning and you’re feeling peckish, so you pull into a Bergen Park drive-thru and ask for the No. 1 combo. Unfortunately, you’ve arrived on that nebulous cusp twixt breakfast and lunch and receive the No. 1 egg and muffin sandwich combo instead of the No. 1 hamburger combo you really wanted – a comical inconvenience, really, unless you’re an insufferable snot, in which case you might hurl the mistaken order back through the takeout window and demand both a full refund and the manager’s business card. Who knows? As crazy as it sounds, you might even decide the restaurant wasn’t responding fast enough to suit your esteemed self and storm inside to present your righteous demands directly into somebody’s face until they’ve all been met to your utter satisfaction. You might, but you probably wouldn’t, because then you might get a visit from a sheriff’s deputy who – even though the restaurant generously declines to press charges – might write you a ticket for disorderly conduct. Thank goodness you were raised better than that.
