I Just Wanted Some Nachos

I went to Chipotle for some nachos the other day. Although I had never had nachos from Chipotle before, it seemed like they would have them. Unfortunately, I got up to the counter, and as it turns out, they don't have nachos. I decided that I wouldn't abandon my quest anyway.

Chipotle Girl #1: "Can I take your order?"

M: "You know, I was really in the mood for some nachos. Is there any way you can throw some chips on a plate with some of the fixings for me?"

Chipotle Girl #1: "Well, I don't have any way to melt the cheese. All I have is this steamer right here for the burritos to heat anything up."

M: "Well, that doesn't matter to me. The cheese will melt on the meat; that's hot. It'll be like the tacos or burrito bowl."

Chipotle Girl #1: "Yeah, but I can't melt the cheese."

M: "Okay, so is it a corporate policy that you can't put down a layer of chips and then fixings for a burrito bowl?"

Chipotle Girl #1: (nervously eyes Chipotle Girl #2) "No, but I can't melt the cheese."

Chipotle Girl #2: "What's wrong? What does she want?"

Chipotle Girl #1: "She wants nachos."

Chipotle Girl #2: "No. We don't have nachos."

Chipotle Girl #1: "We can't do nachos."

M: (resigned) "Okay, that's fine. How about I just order a chicken burrito bowl and a side of chips and salsa then? That should work."

Chipotle Girl #2: "No, we can't do that."

M: (convinced that I had just ordered something right off the menu) "Ummm...okay." (begins to back away from the counter.)

As I'm walking out one of them mutters "Sorry." I don't turn around, and I mutter back, "Okay..."

Weird. I swear that I wasn't trying to be ultra difficult or anything.
