I only see two options here, 1) Stop showing up.
2) Make them think they are stupid for ordering traditional wings & not boneless.
Cute story though, brought me mild enjoyment.
The restaurant did not specify traditional/boneless... I figured the norm was traditional, who the hell orders boneless...
That doesn't sound like the typical good natured acceptance you'd expect from the Cannucks.
plot twist - american BB
plot twist - not employed, ordered 100 wings for his gf
Order the hotter variations (like Mango Habanero, Jammin Jalapeneo) of Buffalo Wild Wings (if they are in Canada) next time. Eat 25 or so yourself. Dare the team to do the same. Watch the team spend rest of the day in the restroom.

woah, is this serious? Who the fuck actually prefers regular wings to boneless wings? Less meat, less sauce, etc.
Boneless allows for a quicker, cleaner, better lunch.
Well said Sir!
hahaha, hilarious thread. "boneless chicken guy" = LOL.
Boneless wings are made from white meat, which is less flavorful than dark meat, although it is healthier. I prefer traditional wings with the bones myself.
Which is more prestigious? Bone-in or boneless?
*preftigious
You know what? What? Chicken butt !
Theres really only one thing left to do...although it might be a bit late...make them all feel like a bunch of assclowns for ordering traditional. Fire back. Stand up for your position. Use the force of intellect to make yourself look like the shit.
Or just go around as the boneless chicken guy.
Hahahaha....T-boooone
I'm not sure if your fellow traders are just messing with you or legitimately pissed that their lunch portion of wings wasn't precisely as they wanted...navigating the social zoo that is a trading floor can be tricky.

wait, would a trading group really get pissed off about this? i thought this was a troll the entire time...
not even banking is that anal...
In all seriousness, it's possible (even if not extremely likely). Many traders are like children in terms of social maturity, and getting lunch is one of the few tasks a trading intern is actually relied upon and can therefore use to demonstrate their trustworthiness and attention to detail. Many of them aren't doing much of actual work during their few weeks there, unlike banking.
Haha, great clip. Although I have to agree with Will Hunting, its all about boneless.
I can also assume a lot of it is traders flexing. If I were delivered boneless wings instead of traditional wings I would for sure give the intern a hard time, but would secretly enjoy it more than had I got traditional. But locker room mentality for sure. I am craving BWW now.
Also in reverse, if an MD bought you mozzarella sticks & your allergic to cheese... You eat the food.
Thanks for the laugh haha. +1
Gotta love the trading floor..
LOL traders are children. I bet I could guess what bank this is at
they still make more than u, mr. m&a vp @ a 1-man shop based in Arkansas
bro, you don't even know me.

Fuck boneless wings. The flaps are the best. Mhmmmm.
If any of you have actually had good wings, you were realize BWW is mediocre at best. Also, boneless wings are garbage, and the OP got totally screwed by getting them by default.
are you...perhaps...the first buffalo wing hipster the world has ever seen?
This is hilarious!
Top 5 Canadian bank? Really stretching with the cred's here. I didn't know TD had a sales desk that flipped for lunch. Most guys on a sales floor are looking for any opportunity to bust an easy target's balls, you handed it to them on a platter, literally. Marginalize the incident, never bring it up ever again, move on.
yeah my guess was TD too. they're notorious for their "retail is hiring" sort of insult nowadays.
Yes this kinda stuff does happen in S&T. Since everybody sits on a desk together its groupthink mentality to the max, and interns / new guys are an easy target for everybody to gang up on.
Just move on and try to do a good job and get along with the traders. If they like you they'll forget about it, if they don't you're screwed. Hard to say with the limited information I have, but its also possible they are teasing you because they like you.
Simple: "No hay mayor desprecio, que el no aprecio." Which basically means that the best way to pass is ignoring them. This is 3rd grade... The more you take it for real and mind about it, the more they are going to laugh because they know it pisses you off.
Walk in next time with just a bag of bones, no chicken.
Lol, that's actually comically brilliant...although traders often have these massive ballooned egos and may take issue with an intern not acting with hat in hand.
I say you own your nickname. Rise through the ranks. Become group head. And you will be stuff of legends.
This happens sometimes. The lesson is like an order for a trade or a report, you have to check everything...even from a restaurant or fast food place.
The nickname will be eventually forgotten, and someone else will take your place as a target for ridicule.
If you want to work on a trading floor get used to this, and learn to roll with it.
I would suggest if it really bugs you, buy 300-400 wings from a reputable place and have them delivered on a Friday for lunch. DO NOT announce this in advance. Every lemming in the area will be all over it.
This shouldn't break the bank and will earn you some points.
....and if someone complains that you didn't tell them in advance say something like: "I only just managed to collect all the fucking bones." Say it with a smile.
If you are in Toronto shoot for St. Louis wings. You can't lose with those guys.
As for trust and respect, after you take shit for several months without blinking (and no further lunch debacles) you've earned it.
The only way to reverse it is to order 200 bones next time. Just. the. bones.
Tbh boneless wings are insulting. And it's just a cheap alternative: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/business/economy/13wings.html
Where do they get off calling wing-shaped nuggets wings?
Can a nugget make a chicken fly, motherfucker? Well, neither can a wing. But still
And can we talk for a minute about the absurdity that is a bird that can't fly? Who the fuck thought that shit up? How has nature not fixed this yet? Aren't these motherfuckers descendants of dinosaurs? Had plenty of time to make either wingless chickens or chickens that can fly.
lol retards - in your case, I'd rather be questioning my intention to work there FT (assuming you have other options)...
Not a big deal, they are just using you for a laugh.
Move on.
Order 400 wings, half mild/half hot, pay for them yourself and leave them in a communal area and send out a desk-wide email that just says: "Bone Appétit".
FT offer secured.
good idea except anyone who reads WSO will know who u r and will troll u even harder after
I'm pretty sure if anyone here works with him knows who it is.
Ask them who the fuck has time to eat around the bones?
If they still insist on bone in wings grab a bunch of paper and toss it in the air and say, "fuck it it's Wednesday I'm out of this bitch."
They're not seriously upset but it gives them an opportunity to fuck with the new kid.
Tell one of the guys..."Hey Jim, if you really want a narrow 2-inch bone in your chicken ask Rob to tape a couple to his d*(& you'll probably enjoy that more anyway."
Some places this would go over great, others you are definitely getting fired or black balled. Depends on the dynamics.
This is hilarious but I wouldn't worry about it too much. The upside of being an intern is screwups will usually blow over if you come in early, stay late, and let your work speak for itself...especially on the trading floor. Don't think of this heckling as hostile but a crude form of bonding- like in a fraternity.
But seriously...boneless wings? What the hell were you thinking.
THe amount of shit comment on this thread is too damn high (almost as shitty as the meme i just used here...)
It's a trading floor. You are an intern. You will get the piss taken out of you, and thank fuck for that! It doesn't have to be an American BB, all it has to be is ANY equity S&T floor. I got so much shit when I started, all you do is you shrug it off. Thank God HR hasn't made it illegal yet, we can still be human and have a laugh at your expense.
