Please correct my writing and is it right to say like that? I was going to the fast food restaurant yesterday and I would like to have six pieces of chicken tenders. So, I told, "Can I have six pieces of chicken tenders?" The sever said "We don't have six pieces of chicken tenders on our menu. We have only four or three pieces of chicken tenders." I thought she is a real hardhead. So, I said, "If so, can I have 2 sets of six pieces of chicken tenders?" Please correct my writing and is it right to say like that?

I was going to the fast food restaurant yesterday and I wanted to have six pieces of chicken tenders. So I said, "Can I have six pieces of chicken tenders?" The server said "We don't have six pieces of chicken tenders on our menu. We have only four or three pieces of chicken tenders." I thought she was a real hardhead. So, I said, "If so, can I have 2 orders of three pieces of chicken tenders?"


In English, we say something, but tell someone. Here are three examples that should help:


I said (that) I wanted six chicken tenders.
