Abandoned my usual choice of scrambled and fried eggs to have them poached this time. They turned out fine enough but my chosen brioche materialised as wheat toast. Further supporting my suspicions of a sleepwalking counter staff was that they got another order entirely wrong. What should have been two fried eggs on English muffins became one sunny side up egg with ham on thick toast. Tsk tsk. To be fair though, they admitted to their mistake and got the chef to prepare the correct item promptly.
To avoid such scenarios, it's probably a good idea to have the staff repeat your order back to you.
