Who cares it's just how people talk. As long as people aren't rude who gives a shit what dialect idioms they use? This is pretentious and silly to care about.

Another thing I’ve only heard in NYC that’s always annoyed me - starting a counter order by saying “let me get” instead of “I’d like” or “can I have”. Please don’t issue commands to the staff.

Another common and rude way is “give me a…” Like so much else in this country simple politeness has disappeared entirely.

English and grammar today are appaling!

And for the love of all that's holy, please PLEASE phrase it as a request. With a proper question mark at the end. "May I have ...?" "Could I please get the ...?" I know it's called "ordering," but blurting it as a declarative demand is poor form.

I am going to do these mashed potatoes though

This is some real boomer shit

Also the 'Gimme' drives me nuts.

I always clumsily say “I think I’ll go with…ummmmmm…”

I literally could not have cared less when I worked behind the counter. As long as you named what you wanted and continued to move the line along, it literally did not matter to me what phrase you used to order
