“OH FANK YOU! You fixded my cheeseburger!”

Cubefrau forwarded this in an email to the entire office.

-- I want to share the experience that my husband, 7 year old autistic sister and I had today at the Chili’s location in Midvale, UT. Arianna, my little sister, didn’t waste any time when our waitress, Lauren, greeted us at our table. Arianna promptly ordered her cheeseburger with pickles, french fries, and chocolate milk before Lauren could even take our drink order. Lauren smiled and told Arianna, “Okay! I’ll be right back with your chocolate milk!”. When we got our food I was wondering why Arianna wouldn’t touch her cheeseburger, but was going to town on her french fries. I asked her, “Arianna are you going to eat your cheeseburger?” She calmly said, “No, I don’t want it.” Cheeseburgers, or ‘Krabby Patties’ as we sometimes call them, are her FAVORITE! So this behavior was VERY strange. So I asked her, “Why don’t you want it?”. She replied, “It’s broken. I need another one thats fixed.” Then it dawned on me why she wasn’t eating it. It’s because it was cut in half. Being a child with autism, she has to have certain things in a particular order at all times. One slight change in her routine can change the course of the day instantly.

When Lauren came back to check on us, I asked if we could order another cheeseburger and just add it to our check. She had a concerned look on her face so I explained that Arianna has autism, and that in her mind, because the cheeseburger was cut in half, she thinks its broken and can’t eat it. I told Lauren I knew it sounded silly, but if we could just order an additional one we will gladly pay for it because there was nothing wrong with the one that was originally brought out.

Lauren was so sweet and just smiled and went along with Arianna, telling her “I brought you a broken cheeseburger?! You know what, I’ll have them cook you a new one!” I loved this because rather than just taking it from the table, she actually TOLD Arianna what she was doing. While this seems insignificant, by her telling Arianna what she was doing, we avoided a melt down. The manager, Bradley Cottermole, then came to our table, kneeled down, and said to Arianna, “I heard we gave you a broken cheeseburger! I am so sorry about that! We are making you a brand new one that isn’t broken, with pickles! I’ll bring you some french fries to munch on while you’re waiting, ok?” A couple of minutes later, Lauren arrived back at our table with cheeseburger #2. Arianna said, “OH FANK YOU! You fixded my cheeseburger!” When Lauren walked away, Arianna just sat there for a second and looked at her new burger. She looked like so deep in thought....just staring at it....then she let out a big ”OH I missed you!!” and started kissing the burger over and over again. I showed Lauren this picture and said, “I think we glorified the cheeseburger too much!” She busted up laughing, and asked if she could go show her manager. She came back a minute later and said she showed everyone in the back kitchen area too, and that it made them all laugh and smile. I was so touched by this experience. Especially since I know people who have been asked to leave restaurants when their child with autism is being disruptive.

It is a sweet story that may have a little bit of truth, but I still call bullshit.

I hate these emails that make the rounds of cube land. I think a coworker did a forward of this same story to our office. I delete everything she sends without opening it, but seems familiar. She is the only person at work who sends around these "feel good" or "cautionary" emails. Not only does she send them to our office, but company wide as well. Last week it was one of those "warnings" to watch out for cars flashing headlights, because it is gangs who are going to kill you, or rape you or something.

No one says anything to her because she has been there over 40 years and is kind of sad. Oh and all HER EMAILS ARE IN ALL CAPS.

while this may be heartwarming and all I wonder what happened to the broken cheeseburger? I hope someone ate it and didn't throw it in the trash.

How was the waitress supposed to know the kid did't like her cheesburger cut in half? Good thing the mother offered to pay for the second one. I was half expecting her to expect a second free cheeseburger.

I'm a teacher and it seems as though it won't be long before EVERY child has some form of autism. There are so many at my school it's become normal. For some, the parents have given in so much that the kids refuse to accept or do anything they don't want to do. The moms, and THE KIDS, say, "It's autism, that's why," when in fact, the parents have taken the easy way out and given in on everything. A handful of the autistic kids are the most manipulative students I've ever encountered. Some of it has to be learned behavior combined with bad/lazy parenting.

Thank you to all you ignorant assholes that are making fun of Arianna and assuming things you could not possibly know. I am sorry that something that people find uplifting causes you all to shove a stick up your asses.

This little girl is my daughter. While she does have behavior problems, she is being worked on with it and improving every day. You do not know nor understand the situation so you are all displaying your ignorance quite well. She was born with a genetic defect that caused her heart to be deformed. Other things that were linked to it are down syndrome and severed physical deformities. We got incredibly lucky that her heart was able to be operated on and fixed when she was a year and a half old. Before her autism was diagnosed she had severe behavioral issues and was very late to talk. Her being where she is today is because of great leaps and bounds from her family.

You don't have to like the story but for those of you that chose to vent your aggravation at this by making fun of her have a special place in hell. She didn't chose to be the way she is but you certainly chose to be disgusting assholes and display your own obvious ignorance and lack of manners by choosing to say such disgusting and hateful things about a 7 year old girl. Good job!

Oh my god r47, I feel for you. You just reminded me of my sister, the high school teacher, she has a few special ed kids. One was this weird girl who was really anti-social so I'm sure she had Asperger's or whatever. I guess she stabbed another kid in the hand with scissors or something and her dad came in to talk to my sis and said something like, "You know they just don't understand Jane. When we look at her we see a beautiful, troubled girl. But they just see a freak." or something like that. And sis was just going along with him but told me the chick was greasy haired and always wore a satin jacket and not a"beautiful, troubled girl".

For R49, Janet Jackson is a legend and an icon. Pop stars, male and female, still reference her as an inspiration, mimick her style and dance moves and remake her songs. As for her record deals, she LEFT Virgin once the landmark $80 million record deal she signed in the '90s was complete. Also, she ASKED to be let out of her Def Jam contract, but not before giving them a #1 album. So, you see, no one fired her, nitwit. And you're right--she's always had a round bubble butt, and she was known for having one when Kim Kardashian was still just a kid running around in her mommy and daddy's backyard with a pacifier, and J-Lo was just a young, unknown Puerto Rican chica in the Bronx.

She does not need a label, but she could get signed to one whenever she's ready because she's JANET-ACADEMY-AWARD-NOMINATED-100-MILLION-RECORDS-SOLD-EVERY-TEEN-ACT-OF-TODAY-ON-HER-JOCK-FANS-ALL-OVER-THE-WORLD-$150-MILLION-WORTH-MTV-ICON-MORE-BILLBOARD-AWARDS-THAN-ANY-OTHER-ARTIST-SIGNER-OF-TWO-OF-THE-BIGGEST-RECORD-DEALS-IN-HISTORY-MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON.

Keep caving into her unrealistic demands. Why should she ever learn how the world really works? Why should anyone ever say "no" to her? No one will think a 30 year-old sending back a broken burger will be cute. I'm also of the opinion that such children should not be brought to restaurants, movies etc unless their social skills are appropriate to that venue. If she has food issues, restaurants aren't ideal. I'm pretty much over this whole spectrum thing, it seems to be an epidemic among flyover fraus.

by Anonymousreply 104March 26, 2013 4:55 PM

Restaurants and movies theaters are public spaces where if you pay, you're entitled to be there. The parents of autistic children pay to be there and they are as much a part of the public as you are r104. You do not get to determine who can and can't sit next to you.

Autism is very much real and affects men as well. After all, you need a man and woman to create a child. It is not a "flyover fraus" imagined epidemic. What is it in our environment or gene pool that has led to a greater number of children born with this disease? It is in society's best interest that we do not castigate children with forms of mental illness. Neither they nor their parents chose this disease.

[quote]Keep caving into her unrealistic demands. Why should she ever learn how the world really works? Why should anyone ever say "no" to her? No one will think a 30 year-old sending back a broken burger will be cute. I'm also of the opinion that such children should not be brought to restaurants, movies etc unless their social skills are appropriate to that venue. If she has food issues, restaurants aren't ideal. I'm pretty much over this whole spectrum thing, it seems to be an epidemic among flyover fraus.

besides, eating a sandwich whole is disgusting, it should always be cut in half.

r109 do you even have an Autistic child? How can you talk hypothetically what you can teach when you have never experienced a child with one?

When someone has cancer, there is no doubt that person is ill. When someone has a form of mental illness, many in society act as though they can just "think" their way out of it; or an Autistic child merely needs to be taught to behave and then s/he can be "normal" in public. It doesn't work that way.

If only it were that easy. They are wired differently. What's normal and rational behavior to you is something many of them can not do. If it were possible, it would save many parents grief and aggravation and scorn from people like you.

Here's the kind of shit a Fraubook friend of mine posts:

Like if you or someone you know has a child with autism!

We don't want your pity.

We don't need your sighs and groans if we take our child out in public.

We don't think you understand what we're going through even though you say you do.

It's not helpful to tell me about your sisters neighbors autistic child.

No we don't think you can take him/her to play, any disruption in activity leads to problems. Thanks though.

etc etc and it goes on and on. It's a mystery what they DO want.

R105, please fuck right off.

[quote]Restaurants and movies theaters are public spaces where if you pay, you're entitled to be there. The parents of autistic children pay to be there and they are as much a part of the public as you are [R104]. You do not get to determine who can and can't sit next to you.

Actually, we do get to determine who can and cannot sit next to us. Paying for a meal in a pubic restaurant does not give you, or anyone else, the right to annoy, disrupt and antagonize other diners.

Your right to be in a public place ends the second you interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of that public place by someone else.

I have no idea what sort of people raised you to believe that you have no social responsibilities to those around you but they were wrong.

"No we don't think you can take him/her to play, any disruption in activity leads to problems. Thanks though."

Considering one would only do this to try and relate to the person and let them know they have dealt with autism before and would like to help. So what would she like, then? Just approach her on bended knee without talking or making eye contact? And absolutely no try at inclusion with our child through a play date? Ok. I get it, thanks.

r115 I was raised very well, thank you. Unlike yourself. I understand there are different people who also live in this society and they should be not locked up at home because their child's behavior's offends you. A lot of people and a lot of things offend me, but that does give me the right to demand that this person or that person stay home because it would offend my delicate nature.

I go out to dinner to enjoy the food. There is a loud table next to me and it doesn't seem as though they receive the same of scorn that a child with autism does. I demand good food at restaurant. I don't have any expectations that there are only quiet patrons eating at same place.

Perhaps you ought to change your way thinking rather than demand a child with a form of mental illness change his.

R118, your reasoning hardly merits the word. People do not only go out to restaurants for the food--they go out for the social setting and often as a way to celebrate special occasions...and conversation in a genial, calm, quiet atmosphere is central to celebration. If your child is disrupting that for those around you, you should leave. Period.

I have the same standard for all children and all people for that matter. If someone is unable to behave appropriately and interferes with other people's enjoyment of their meal, then they need to remove themselves from the social situation or not go out in the first place.

Stay home, go to a restaurant that has a private dining room, take a picnic to the park - whatever. It's just common sense and good manners.

[quote]One slight change in her routine can change the course of the day instantly.

Do they eat at Chili's on a daily basis then? If they do it seems they'd be used to how their food is served. If they don't then it seems like being put in that unfamiliar environment in the first place would be a far bigger change to the kid's routine than a hamburger cut in half. What's the next melt down? Sesame seeds on the bun? A lettuce leaf on the burger?

If this story is true then the server handled the situation very well. I also credit the story teller for at least having the sense to offer to pay for a second burger. But it's a mistake for the families of special needs kids (or just plain old coddled brats) to ask to world to indulge their kid's every whim. Would the kid have flipped out if the sister had calmly explained that the burger wasn't "broken" but simply cut in half to make it easier to eat? If she can't handle that minor change to her routine then the restaurant environment is too stressful for her to begin with.

Okay, fuck off asshole.

Also, you are wrong - again. You have no gift for analysis, dear, and you have yet to refute or deny a single thing I've written.

Tell me, do you actually believe that autistic children who are (as yet) unable to control their behavior actually enjoy restaurants? You may enjoy it, but do they? Really? I think not. So stop being such a stupid, selfish cunt and order in when you don't want to cook. Get a sitter when you want to go out. Your autistic kid doesn't want you torturing and humiliating him/her in restaurants and other public places.

If the child is at a a place in the spectrum where he/she will eventually master the social skills required in restaurants and other public places, good. Get the hell off the internet and go work with the kid. Stupid fucking frau.

I have a question for R127. When my father-in-law got old he started to have problems with incontinence. He could and would shit his pants unexpectedly. He loved to go out to restaurants, but it became impossible given the unpredictable nature of his bowels.

So, R127, what would you do in this case? Let him go anyway? Aging and incontinence are a normal part of life. According to your logic, FIL had every right to eat out as a paying customer and nearby diners should understand/tolerate the shit smell as they eat their dinner.

r157 If your FIL feels insecure about his health issues, than it is his choice whether to dine out. It is not mine. Having chronic incontinence would make anyone feel self-conscious. Perhaps you ought to have a conversation with your FIL about the matter instead of seeking advice here.

One would think that those who suffer from chronic incontinence would be wearing an adult diaper to save themselves from public embarrassment. There are many people who dine out who have various medical issues. Do we go down the list and decide who is permitted to dine out and who isn't because it offends "normal" restaurant patrons?

I dunno, I wonder if she really is just the sister of the frau?

Besides the age difference, the frau's name is Anna, and the girl is Arianna... as in, Anna Jr.

I once knew a little girl named Tanika [ugh, I know], whose "older sister" was named Nikita... it was the same thing!

You've lived in a Chili's making cheeseburgers for autistic kids for 68 years??

I know that old thread bumps are annoying, but since one poster mentioned Chili's FB page being a "Land of the Fraus", I was compelled to share this little gem. NB: Someone needs to tell these hyphenated, multi-named twats that the 80s are getting to be a LONG time ago.

Cindy Van Heukelom Bekken cc I was there an hour ago. Waited 5 min to be seated, because a manager was updating the computer for the staff. I was seated; chose what I wanted to order, & read 2 chapters of a book I brought along before I decided to no longer wait for someone on staff to acknowledge me. Kudos to your hostess. She was polite and apologized for the seating delay. I let her know I was NOT upset at her in the least. I was excited to celebrate my tax return money coming in. I shared $5 of it with the McDonald's on Byron Center Ave. 2 · 16 hrs View previous replies Chili's Grill & Bar Chili's Grill & Bar Samantha, feel free to reach out to us at social@chilis.com to share your thoughts!

In situations like this, it's less about the child, and more about the parents being acknowledged and praised in a public setting for having to deal with such a difficult child.

by Anonymousreply 236February 21, 2016 5:22 PM

Although not nearly as good a suggestion as to serve the second cheezeburger in quarters, another idea would be to cut it horizontally, then place the two sections together. Then when little Arianna picks it up, it will slide in half, triggering, I'm sure, a tantrum of cataclysmic proportions, particularly if one of the halves slides onto her lap, which you know it's sure to.

Reminds me of the joke about the spastic who orders an ice cream cone. "What flavor?" the seller asks. "It doesn't matter," replies the spastic, "I'm just going to spill it anyway." (The joke is intrinsically funnier if you can do a spastic accent).

FWIW, this is the absolute funniest thread I ave EVER read on DL. My stomach is literally sore from laughing.

R215 You're right. Someone in another cutesy autism thread posted a surefire remedy for this sort of acting out. I couldn't agree more.

[quote]Once upon a time, teachers had a cure for this kind of behavior (and in some states, still do)--a wooden paddle applied vigorously to the seat of the pants.

[quote]Good parents repeated the therapy once the little darling got home, and more effectively: the pants got dropped and the paddling was administered to the bare bottom.

How will these precious angels function as adults with everyone encouraging them to be special?

Will they just go around crashing into cars, causing uproars in restaurants, being demanding in Big Lots?

Who wants to fly on an airplane with a "special" captain?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Captain Joey and we are going to the sky because it's blue and I like it!"

Woe to us non-chosen folks, who can eat whole or half hamburgers and do something for more than 5 minutes at a time.

If the woman who wrote this is married, and has a seven year old sister, it is very likely that Arianna's autism is a result of having parents that are too old, like Barron.

by Anonymousreply 250November 18, 2016 6:51 PM

Absolutely R238. If more parents and school boards (grades K-12) took that approach, the schools wouldn't be in the mess they're currently in. Not to mention the miraculous cures of many of our LD/BD disorders.

R260, I have never, either. That’s kind of a plot hole, isn’t it?

The only thing I can think is that they might do it for kids because it’s easier to handle them? But I think you’d leave that to the parents. They can cut it if that’s what the kid needs.

You've obviously never tried Chili's Santa Fe Chicken Salad. It's the fuckin' bomb. (Get the grilled chicken, not the crispy). This salad comes with avocado, bacon, lettuce, and some brown crunchy strips of tortilla or something and is served with DELICIOUS spicy Santa Fe Sauce.® There is nothing close to this wonderfulness at any other restaurant. It's like an angel came in your mouth.
