Oh please. The guy, by the OP's account, made two remarks about it not being a quesadilla and seemed to be laughing over it as well. If thats all that happened, then I'd say its the OP's fault for thinking he absolutely wouldn't make it.

Quesadilla with no cheese and other fast food technicalities

Thats not a quesadilla thats just a bean taco you may aswell just ask for a bean burrito with no cheese.
Meh as someone who worked at Pizza Hut for a few years I'd get all kinds of crazy requests. Wasn't going to eat it so why would I care if you want your pizza without cheese extra well done.
I feel like some of you guys have been abused in the food and service industry to feel so passionately about this. Like I said, if the customer isn't being a dick and is willing to pay I don't see why you should deny his request. It's his money and the customer should have his needs met otherwise he'd take his business elsewhere.

I forgot to mention in the OP, this place piles WAY more meat, rice, veggies, etc. on quesadillas than burritos since they don't have to be rolled, they pile everything on and then close it off as best they can.
So that's why I wanted a quesadilla-style thing. Also I wasn't in the mood to eat something with my hands and quesadillas are conducive to fork eating.
I understand that the "quesa" is quesadilla means cheese, but I wanted the form of a quesadilla without that ingredient.
Funnily the guy behind the counter seemed more amused than anything, as if he couldn't conceive of making what I was describing.

A mexican here. You are correct depending on the region of mexico in which you make this statement.
If in mexico city you can ask for quesadilla de hongos for example, and you´d get what you are asking for in your op (no cheese, only mushrooms). However, if you´re outside mexico city you´ll get it with cheese if you don´t specify no cheese, and you´ll get into this discussion and in the end they´ll explain you should have asked for a dobladilla (folded » doblado).
People in mexico city even ask for a quesadilla de queso meaning they only want cheese in it.
In summary, move to mexico city, they´ll understand what you mean and you´ll be happy for the rest of your life just sunbathing and lounging about.
Sometimes I don't want all that tortilla. I don't see how anyone should tell me how and what to eat.

I don't think the restaurant knows what a traditional quesadilla is.
It should look like this and not super stuffed like a burrito

Because you are asking for something that doesn't exist.
WTF GAF... WTF...
I'm all for people ordering and receiving what they want, but the people who are outraged by the worker being amused and/or confused are...omg.
IT'S A QUESADILLA. =|
In Mexico City, a quesadilla is just a certain kind of taco made with a special tortilla folded in half. It may or may not contain cheese. Obviously, everyone in the rest of the country mock my fellow "chilangos" for that, but that's the way it is. A quesadilla without cheese exists.
Edit: oh beaten like Mexico's soccer team in the World Cup.

What does u not wanting the entire portion have to do with me explaining to u the difference between a tortilla with cheese (quesadilla) and a tortilla with beans (bean taco/burrito) ?
in this moment, you are.
I figure extra butter just means they toss in a couple extra packets of butter in the bag. The ones you get for breakfast.

You mean a burrito bowl? because that doesn't sound like a quesadilla. quesadilla is very specific, and it isn't what you're describing.
ok. imagine the Taco Bell quesadilla. Now imagine it stuffed 3x full of rice and meat and cheese and whatever, on it's side, closed as best as possible, fried, and then sliced into quarters.
He wanted them to hold the cheese. He wanted the folded tortilla. Not the rolled up one. He wanted it for specific reason. And he did. not. want. cheese.
"no. you want a bean burrito"
mf i will end you.

Not quite, we just won the sub-21 world cup, and got gold at the olympics pseudo-world cup.
That's actually a fairly regular request.
rice in a quesadilla what the fuck

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Here is what Freebirds' quesadilla looks like: (apparently, at least. I've never been there)
It's a bit more loaded than the average quesadilla I've come across, which is usually no more than a few ingredients (cheese, meat, peppers/beans) with sides of salsa or sour cream. It looks like your cheeseless quesadilla could have been made, and it should have been made for you... after you were explained what was wrong with what you were asking for and you verbally agreed to have this monstrosity constructed for you.
The problem the restaurant has is that, if you actually are some idiot who doesn't understand what they're actually asking for, you'll either have a negative opinion of the place because the food sucks or, if you complain, they'll have to remake your order. Either result isn't desirable.
Looking at their menu, though, you should just order their burrito salad bowl things. It's everything you want, even down to being best suited for knife and fork eating.

This barely counts as a quesadilla and only because I think I actually see cheese in the tortilla. It looks more like a burrito someone didn't want to fold properly. I guess OP is somewhat redeemed.

That's not a quesadilla. That looks more like an over-sized soggy Taco Bell taco.

I don't go often but every time I do I have no problem ordering things slightly different.
Yeah, okay then.
Are you eating my meal? Why do you care about the semantics. Can I still have that grilled or now are you going to tell me some other bullshit on how tacos don't come grilled. Just give me what I want. If not I'll go someplace else.

Because, within reason, satisfying customers is generally what businesses want to do.
He wanted a folded tortilla with stuff in it, not including cheese. That's not hard to understand.

Shouldve asked for a armadilla.
A Quesadilla is a tortilla with cheese. It's like asking for a grilled cheese without cheese. That's not a grilled cheese, that's 2 pieces of bread just like a quesadilla without cheese is just a tortilla. The guy was either extremely confused or thought the op was messing with him.
Exactly. Fuck Five Guys, and I will bad mouth them every chance I get to anyone standing in the vicinity for as long as I live. Forever.
Their quesadillas obviously come with more than just that thin layer of melted cheese. Guy was obviously confused about life and needs to make some changes.
Well when I read the OP I got the impression the guy was delaying long enough to make a reasonable person think he simply wasn't going to make it. By the OP's account, the OP's friend had time to get into the conversation.
you in food service?
So he wanted a tortilla folded with other ingredients inside? Maybe he should have ordered a soft taco.

Mexican here also, freebird might call that a quesadilla but that is actually just a large flour taco cut in half
What happens when the restaurant in question offers other ingredients inside the quesadilla. The place I go to once in a blue moon offers other ingredients inside like the place the OP is talking about. Is this that hard for you food snobs to get? I'm quite aware of what a traditional quesadilla is.

Water is not wet!
This is the equivalent of a grilled cheese with no cheese. i mean.. its not unheard of people with dietary restrictions of some type to order something like this but its definitely not a routine occurrence in mainstream reality.
Now I'm waiting for you in the parking lot until your taco place closes...
They're demanding that he use the proper Espanol. They obviously have no idea what this person is asking them for. A toasted ham&cheese sandwich without cheese? We can't make that shit, we've neber even heard of that shit.
Not gonna lie, I don't care how that's not a "real" quesadilla or w/e, that looks good.
