Choose Your Battles, And Your Menus
I’m serving a table of American tourists. I’m handing out the menus, and they don’t even look at them before asking:
Customer: “Is this menu in Canadian or American?”
Me: “Those prices are in Canadian dollars, ma’am.”
Customer: “No, not the prices, the language. Is it Canadian or American?”
Me: “The menu is in English, ma’am.”
Customer: “Do you have one in American?”
I take the menus away from the table and return with the exact same ones.
Customer: *Actually looking at the menu this time.* “Ah, much better! I can read this one!”
