Taking Sides

I had lunch with a friend the other day at an old favorite restaurant. The menu had been updated – the prices had been “updated” of course.  It was a nice, well laid out front and back menu. Each page had three columns. And it was laminated. We each ordered a burger. With the burger you get one side. Do you think either of us could find the sides on the menu? The waitress had to show us where the sides were – they were in the middle column on the back of the menu. I got the coleslaw; he got the fries.

But really. Who looks in the middle column of a menu for sides? Is it asking too much that the sides be on one of the (left or right) sides? I don’t care which. She said she’d bring it up to management…
