À La Carte-ography

A customer came into my restaurant.

Customer: “I’m looking for my friends. They’re already sitting down.”

The restaurant is small, and you can see every seat from the front door. I hand her a menu and say:

Me: “Go ahead and take a look for them; they’ve gotta be here somewhere.”

She looks at me, then down at the menu she holds in her hands with what can only be described as a look of both fear and confusion.

Me: “Is anything the matter?”

Customer: “How do you have a map of where everyone is sitting?!”

Me: “That’s a menu, ma’am.”

She opens the folded menu and sighs in relief.

Customer: “Oh! I thought you printed seat maps every time someone new came through the doors!”
