If you're a vegetarian and you'd rather have eggs instead of sausage -- do not attempt this at IHOP. You will have to debate the manager.

  • Manager: "Chickens are eggs."
  • Friend and I: "What?"
  • Manager: "If you eat eggs, you're eating chicken."
  • Me: "Um. No."
  • Friend: "Do you know how eggs are made?"
  • Manager: "Well, they come from chickens."
  • Friend: "Yes, but they're not actually chicken."
  • Manager: "But they come from chickens, so you're still using an animal."
  • Me: "We know. We said we're vegetarians, not vegans. We eat eggs and dairy."
  • Manager: "You're still using an animal though."
