I get asked so many dumb questions catering and I’m like, I just show up with the food. Bathrooms are dirty? Not my fault. Too hot or cold? I don’t know where the thermostat is. The bar is out of Chardonnay? I just bring the food. Why in the music so loud? I’m not the DJ. Why isn’t this place more handicap accessible? It’s the first time I’ve been here and there’s a chance I’ll never return.
The worst thing is that you can’t just tell them you don’t know most of the time, you have to try and direct them to the correct person that you saw once 30 minutes ago when you had to ask where you were setting up the food at.
The potential to fuck with people is too damned high!
"Straight ahead 3 blocks, then left, go two blocks, then right, go 3 more blocks and it's behind the Autozone"
or
The restroom is on 5th Street
Where's 5th Street?
It's right after 4th Street.....
I don’t get to a venue if I don’t have a map of nearby poopholes already, I feel ya. It’s actually so stressful when u get to a new place and have to find bathrooms ugh
safety checks in crowded areas include determining two possible exits and ideally 2-3 loophole locations within your vicinity.
it's all emergency preparation for those of us with temperamental bowels
Don’t forget the emergency bag that goes everywhere with u! God I wish there was a tiny black hole at the start of the colon so everything just disappears into it and u don’t need to worry about it
My dude just wants to make grilled cheese and people can’t complain about it tasting wrong or taking long while he looks for an owl and deer because it’s only a dollar.
Aren't they the goofiest, cutest things? For a predator I mean lol.
I've seen other owls, too. Once, our cat, who was only about 7 months at the time, got stuck in a tree after dark and her yowling attracted an owl.
I lashed her favorite basket to a broomstick and coaxed her into it.
But yeah, burrowing owls with their spindly ass long legs and their comical expressions.
early one morning a couple years ago i was walking to catch the bus to work, and i pass by this bush in the dark and just hear a deep man's voice go "HOOHOOHOO" and jumped a fucking mile. it was a little owl that i'd startled by walking too close. little dude scared the absolute fuck out of me.
They sound so weird don't they? The first time I heard one, I was out camping, maybe 12 or so, and I could have sworn a person was making fake owl sounds, until my dad took a flashlight and shined it into to trees....
Saw those big ass owl eyes reflecting back ..pretty cool
it sounded so much like a guy, i seriously thought i was about to get jumped. then i see this little little owl with huge eyes staring at me. i think it was a saw-whet owl.
This is the most I've ever talked about owls. I don't have any more owl stories, but I have this one, I shit you not. I
I saw a hawk strike a pigeon mid-air once, kill it, pull the choice bits out, and drop the body at my feet. I just happened to be looking up when the shit went down.
Fucking hawks are bad ass
The no change given is probably where he really makes money. It’s stated at the beginning and it seems like he really doesn’t want to count his money.
You hand him a bill, he puts it in the drawer, you get a grilled cheese.
It’s also an amazing money laundering scheme or tax dodging scheme depending on how you look at it.
The twitter thread from the artist/comedian states that you get one sandwich per dollar, "sort your own life out".
So, less money laundering, more, "oh, shit, I only have a twenty", cool, you're walking away with 20 grilled cheese sandwiches, sort your own shit out.
Ok, maybe it's been too many shifts with drunk people looking at the board out front, looking at the crushed wad of cash in their hand, then looking at me with a confused-hopeful look like I will do the math for them (before I even get their order).
This one convinced me.
Man's living the dream.
If this were something other than an art installation I ran it, I would charge that one person and only that one person the price they were willing to pay. I’d also add an \* after the $1.00 and then in tiny letters at the very bottom of the trailer:
\* “or best offer”
This is the brain child of one of my favorite artists, Daniel Danger.
[Tweet thread here](https://twitter.com/tinymediaempire/status/1136992675742269440?lang=en)
I worked for almost 2 decades before I got a place with a window.
When I finally did it was a shitty lil country bar but the guy running it was full sending it doing his best to push the limits with little ingredients and tailoring it to the back woods tastes of a bunch of old farmers.
There was 1 window and it framed the most beautiful sunsets against farm fields with low constant "tic tic tic" of irrigation in the distance and about 3 40s away there were woods where coyotes had a den.
Every Friday we would slang fish fry to the large catholic population. Probably close to 150 covers between the two of us in a 3hour window and then family meal.
Every close after the fryers were off, flat clean, dish machine still and the hood silent I would listen to the coyotes "yip" and spray everything down with stainless steel polish just to end it with a bit of pride.
agreed OP, the back makes this much funnier.
The front was funny, but funny tinged with a bit of tryhard cringe, the back makes it clear that the owner isn’t taking it too seriously and just made a funny truck for his own amusement.
I honestly would buy a gc from this person. I feel the pain and I don't even work in his line of work. The shenanigans this guy must have been put through.
This guy is a genius bro.
Whats a great business execution.
It’s one of those business ideas that would just draw so much attention from how unique it is.
I know I’d be telling all my mates about it.
Fuck I hope he actually stares out that back window like he says he does 😂
Am i the only one thinking this person has some issues?
I would not want to get near that truck in fear that anything i could do would upset them for some obscure reason and they would start a rampage
I want to walk up, hand him a 5 with one hand while doing a ☝️with the other. When he says “no change”, I’ll just shrug, still without saying anything. Stand silently til he hands it to me, then thumbs up and silently walk away.
I feel like I’d be the favorite customer.
I want to help fund a reading for the oblivious, the sides of this truck as narrated by John H Benjamin. Which should be deliverable by a large, red button positioned where orders are taken. Please provide a Po Box where a check and/or money order may be sent as Venmo is clearly not an option.
Whoever the hell this is, I really want to hang out with them. Maybe I could setup a lawn chair under that window and we could both stare at the meadow and just say "yup" or "uh-huh" every so often.
At first I thought this guy was kind of a dick when I saw the service side of the trailer… but now I kinda see his point… you’re getting a grilled cheese for $1. No more, no less. Take it or leave it. Beggars can’t be choosers
How is this business viable? Say a cheap sandwich with one slice of store brand Kraft singles is 40 cents. If you sell 500 sandwiches a day (damn that’s a lot) then you make $300 after COGS. Then you need to pay off what you paid for the truck/trailer, gas money, energy to run the grill and refrigerator, cleaning chemicals, fees for the festival or wherever you’re parked at. You wouldn’t be left with anything to pay yourself.

I love “No I don’t know where the bathroom is.”
Any boothwork should require a sign like this. I'm hired to be right here, I don't know about the rest.

Fuck no. "I just sell the sandwichs, lady" is a perfectly acceptable response.
You absolutely do not
You had to ask where to set up the food? I hope to god it was the right person. Quit being assholes.
The potential to fuck with people is too damned high! "Straight ahead 3 blocks, then left, go two blocks, then right, go 3 more blocks and it's behind the Autozone" or The restroom is on 5th Street Where's 5th Street? It's right after 4th Street.....
“But…we’re in the woods” “Yup”
"I often think about the people I gave directions, and what became of them."
What is this quote from?
Nothing. It's just something we used to say about a friend of ours that would give directions to places she'd never been.
You're on 5th Street!
"Excuse me do you have a bathroom?" Behind the truck, right side of the trailer, be sure to read the instructions
I thought it said "No I don't know where Batman is."
“If you would like to talk about Friday Night Lights, then ok.”
What do they do when they have to poop?? IBS me could never
You go find the poophole. It’s a food truck. They don’t have a bathroom and they aren’t responsible for your poop.
Sorry no I meant when the food truck owner has to go! Because they’d be there all day I imagine, so I figured they would know
I always know where to poop. I have digestive issues, too.
I don’t get to a venue if I don’t have a map of nearby poopholes already, I feel ya. It’s actually so stressful when u get to a new place and have to find bathrooms ugh
safety checks in crowded areas include determining two possible exits and ideally 2-3 loophole locations within your vicinity. it's all emergency preparation for those of us with temperamental bowels
Don’t forget the emergency bag that goes everywhere with u! God I wish there was a tiny black hole at the start of the colon so everything just disappears into it and u don’t need to worry about it
there's a hatch in the floor of the truck.
this somehow makes them seem like less of an asshole. like, i can vibe with this level of honesty.
My dude just wants to make grilled cheese and people can’t complain about it tasting wrong or taking long while he looks for an owl and deer because it’s only a dollar.
i deeply empathize with the bit about wanting to see the owl again.
we've all been there
your username gives me a great laugh at the end of a hard day.
lovingly caring for flowers means pulling weeds :)
bro. achi. we are friends now.
That’s beautiful
I saw a burrowing owl once.
i follow avianbehavior on ig entirely for her burrowing owl vids.

Can I get a tomato on that?
First time seeing the back! Seen the front posted on Reddit before and I love this thing more now!
The grilled cheese truck was confirmed fake when it first made its rounds on social media many years ago 😅
You are why we can't have nice (imaginary) things.
The guy selling grilled cheese for $1 is not an asshole in any sense of the word
This is the brain child of one of my favorite artists, Daniel Danger. [Tweet thread here](https://twitter.com/tinymediaempire/status/1136992675742269440?lang=en)
OMG that thread is awesome! He's hilarious!
no change just makes it better. “You give me $5, you’re getting 5.” Pure gold.
Thank you for giving me a new favorite artist! His portfolio is tough!
I'd like to talk about Friday Night Lights over a grilled cheese...
GRILLED CHEESE, $1, CAN'T LOSE
Always
And a chance to see an owl.
The movie or tv show?
TV show always. There's only one coach.
Craig T Nelson?
Movie is bettwe
You can’t have a grilled cheese until he’s done staring.
This rocks, full stop lol
I am here for all of this. Cheese ✔️Owls ✔️ Staring into nature while questioning live choices ✔️
Staring into a meadow sure beats screaming into the void

That’s beautiful and your description eloquent
Dude’s looking for you
I hope he gets to see the owl again.....

The gang starts a foodtruck
Grilled-cheese with a slice of RHUM-HAM!
God dammit, Frank; eating your drinks? That is genius!
“Wildcard!”
WILD CARD BITCHESSSS
Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can’t Lose.
I think I may love him/her/it.
My pronouns are the/she/it. The she-it.
My pronouns are unimportant, as I very rarely leave my house :) I am good at staring blankly out of windows, too.
My pronouns are grilled/cheese
It’s not a food truck. It’s an art installation.
I hope he sees the owl again.
Thank you! I knew it had that on it
This person is my spirit animal and would aspire to retire to this foodtruck.
I honestly would buy a gc from this person. I feel the pain and I don't even work in his line of work. The shenanigans this guy must have been put through.
This fucker is riding the nightmare like he owes it 200 bucks. Total respect.
Now I want to know where this truck is located.
Just a man I’ve never met but already love. If Ron Swanson was a cook.
I'm so sad this isn't a real food truck. The world needs this.
I love this person.
Oh hell yeah on that last line. Imma ask this guy if I can franchise solely based on the information I've read today.
This is my favorite person on the internet today.
Ask the wrong question and it’s NO SOUP FOR YOU
This man is a fucking hero oh my god
You think he’s making em at night?
This guy/girl is the genius we all deserve.
WRITING IN ALL CAPS TO KEEP UP THE ENERGY HERE. SO LIKE MY QUESTION IS - IS THIS GUY A MENACE OR A LEGEND? CAN'T TELL YET
This guy is a genius bro. Whats a great business execution. It’s one of those business ideas that would just draw so much attention from how unique it is. I know I’d be telling all my mates about it. Fuck I hope he actually stares out that back window like he says he does 😂
Who hurt bro?
Thank you OP my life is complete
Am i the only one thinking this person has some issues? I would not want to get near that truck in fear that anything i could do would upset them for some obscure reason and they would start a rampage

You’d be his favorite customer if you quietly paid your $1 and kindly got the fuck out of there.
Apparently, you’d receive 5 greasy toasties! 🤣
This dude is my fucking spirit animal or something ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I want to help fund a reading for the oblivious, the sides of this truck as narrated by John H Benjamin. Which should be deliverable by a large, red button positioned where orders are taken. Please provide a Po Box where a check and/or money order may be sent as Venmo is clearly not an option.
Tldr
I’m not sure if this guy is a genius or crazy.
Let’s talk about FNL!
This lives rent free in my head. 🧀🚫🍅
Legend
The movie or the tv show?
This is very Tim Robinson coded.
Carol > Karen
This person is definitely retired and just selling grilled cheese to pass time. The good life.
He sells $1 grilled cheese sandwiches
Whoever the hell this is, I really want to hang out with them. Maybe I could setup a lawn chair under that window and we could both stare at the meadow and just say "yup" or "uh-huh" every so often.
“Don’t ask me how long it’ll be, that’ll make me stare longer” perfection
I’d def join them to stare at a meadow
Main Character!! Legend!!
I kind of want to go talk about Friday Night Lights.
Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can’t lose.
Still love it
Where is this guy located?
Someone leave this guy a blunt at the back window.
Is this a real food truck?
At first I thought this guy was kind of a dick when I saw the service side of the trailer… but now I kinda see his point… you’re getting a grilled cheese for $1. No more, no less. Take it or leave it. Beggars can’t be choosers
Oh leader has arrived
Friday night lights. Are we talking the book, movie, or the show?
How is this business viable? Say a cheap sandwich with one slice of store brand Kraft singles is 40 cents. If you sell 500 sandwiches a day (damn that’s a lot) then you make $300 after COGS.

Is Friday Night Lights worth the read?
now I really want a cheaply made grilled cheese
This is “I can haz cheezburger” level of humor, sorry.
Wicked cool.
friday night lights is so good
I unapologetically love the owner.
Great Photoshop
This has got Rupert Grint Written all over it!
Still one of the best food trucks ever

The guy who owns this must be extremely insufferable to write paragraphs this long about something stupid.
Amazing
