You don’t have to build faster horses for funders

Waiter: The funder at table 7 ordered Pumpkin Spice French Fries.

Chef: We don’t serve Pumpkin Spice French Fries.

Waiter: I know, but they’re going to evaluate our performance based on our ability to produce Pumpkin Spice French Fries, so I took their order, and you’ll need to fulfill their requirement.

Chef [sighs]: Well, ok. I just wish we didn’t operate in a system that requires us to fulfill funders’ expectations. I’m sure there’s a better way to do things, but until the funders who visit our restaurant develop a more refined palate, I’ll have to keep making Pumpkin Spice French Fries and Quesadilla Burgers.
