Funny meme and all but if a restaurant decides to do this and refuses to listen to anything but the ridiculous name for the food, then I won't be eating there. You know what I want, either give it to me or we're done here. There's plenty of other restaurants and this one isn't going to miss my $10 today.

When I was a kid I was low-key obsessed with Friendly's, but I refused to say "Fribble"

I try to never say the names places have. I totally relate to this.

There's a bakery close to where I live that I used to get stuff from regularly. One of the things I liked had a really cringeworthy pun as a name, though, so I just said something along the lines of "the one with ham and eggs". I regularly got asked "so one [cringeworthy pun]?" At some point I said, "yes, the one with the cringeworthy name". The employee (who seemed to be a more senior employee) said I should use the product names because it would apparently confuse the apprentices otherwise. When I said that it's just too cringeworthy she started saying things like "no one else will notice that it's cringeworthy" and going in the direction of "come on, you can do it". Well, I don't go there anymore.

EDIT: since a number of people are commenting on my use of the word "cringeworthy": for one there are a number of places where it's fairly normal to use that word (and I mean IRL), and for another this happened in a different language.

ihop don't fuck around. you will say the words or go hungry.

Ok, I’ll take 2 eggs with toast and bacon…

joke's on them. I was assigned the name Ruth at birth, so "rooty tooty fresh n fruity" is just one of my many names in rotation

You gotta say it like a cowboy while firing a six-shooter into the air hollerin' "yeehaw" afterward.

Say the name in a weird tone - my pick would probably be chuuni or heavily implied subtext - and make THEM embarrassed instead

Turns to kitchen: "Six fruits in a comfy, chef!"

There is a whole Ryan George vid about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DmBORwq2-I

Absolutely incredible to see a 4chan rendition of a joke from the Christian comedy special "Bananas". Surprisingly less homophobic too

the what ?

One Big Mac sandwich platter please

If I pointed out an item on a menu and someone asked to read a ridiculous name or loud I'd walk right out. Here in Germany I can't imagine anything like that ever happening. Don't know about the US, of course, but even there that seems far-fetched.

Seeing some interesting discourse here saying some people need to get over themselves.

Stuff isn't always whimsical. There's a BBQ place in my town where they call the less-spicy sauce "Sissy Sause". I am never the one ordering, happily, or I'd be asking for "faggot sauce" to force them to own up to what they're doing.

Now, have the server say it like it's actually food.

Seems I'm alone in this but I don't really get bothered by saying the names. Why should I be embarrassed, they're the ones who printed it on their menu.
