Chicken Burgers

There are many good restaurants in Bangalore and they cover a fairly broad range of food from all over the world. There is one restaurant we have gone to quite a few times because it is not too far away and it is generally good and relatively simple western European/North American style food. One item Jim likes is their chicken burger. It comes with a bread roll, tomato, lettuce, mayonaise, onion and a little spicing to make it less bland. Jim has order this about 6 times over a period of about 6 months. Each time he has asked them if they can add some cheese on top of the chicken. For some reason this seems to baffle the staff. The first time they said they could not put cheese on it, but it had cheese inside. It did not. The second time they said they just could not do it. (He did not press them too hard on why this seemed to be a problem because they clearly seemed uncomfortable.) The next time, they brought it with some cheese on the chicken, so that was proof that it could be done. In the 3 most recent visits they brought it with cheese then the next time (with the very same waiter) said they could not put cheese on and the next time they brought one with cheese on it! This is very mysterious... one of the many mysteries of living in India. We know that the waiters do not like to say they are out of supply for something and they generally don't use the words "no you can not have that", but these experiences are really more odd than usual.
