A short comedic YouTube sketch in which a diner customer (Richard) questions the $12.95 price of a Southwest Omelet, demands a cost breakdown (ingredients vs. labor), and repeatedly offers to supply his own eggs. The server (Andrew) refuses; Richard calls his uncle with diner experience who berates the restaurant and offers to pay the cook directly. The interaction escalates and the customer is asked to leave; the sketch satirizes customers who treat restaurants like contractors by bargaining over ingredient costs.
Hello, welcome. My name is Andrew. I'll be your server today. Okay, great. Can I get you started with anything to drink? Just water, please. All right. And do you have any questions about the menu? Yeah, The Southwest Omelet, $12.95 seems a little steep. Is there anything you could do for me there? Yeah, I'm sorry, sir, I don't have any control about the pricing. Yeah, yeah, no. Well, can I see a breakdown? I'm sorry. Yeah, like how much of that cost is the cost of the ingredients versus how much of that cost is the labor to cook it and bring it to me? I mean, you guys gotta be marking up those eggs like 1,000%, right? I don't have that information here. Look, I just googled cost of eggs, $1.79 for a dozen. You guys are using what, three or four? Plus you're buying them in bulk, so you're probably getting a better deal than that. Okay, well, could you just talk to the owner and ask them how much it would be if I supplied my own eggs? We can't use your eggs. Well, why not? We just. No, don't take my eggs. No, sir, I'm sorry, I really. No, they're good eggs. No, we really can't. Come on, take the eggs. I'm not gonna take them. Take my eggs. I'm not gonna take your eggs. I'm sure they're good eggs. Take my eggs. Alright, look, I got an uncle, okay? He works in a diner down in Florida. Let me just give him a call real quick. I wanna hear his opinion on this. Yellow Eddie, yo. Yeah, hey, it's Richard. Hey, what up, brother? Hey, man. Hey, listen, I'm at a diner trying to get a Southwest un omelette. Well, what do they want for it? 12.95. Whoo. They are ripping you off, man. Shouldn't cost half that. Nah, we're Talking about like five minutes of cooking, maybe 20 cents worth of eggs. That's straight up price gouging right there. Yeah, that's what I thought, man. You want me to talk to them? Nah, Ed, I got you on speaker. They heard you. Now listen here, you damn dirty thieves. I done worked in this industry for 25, okay? How about this? I'll pay you directly, all right? To just make me the omelet yourself, okay? We don't need this restaurant and Uncle Sam getting involved in this egg based transaction between friends. Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? You need to leave. Yeah, that makes sense. You wouldn't do this to a way or restaurant don't do it to your contractor.
