Doesn’t Know Beans About The Menu

(My brother and I are both vegetarians, so we tend to make sure that items like soup are vegetarian.)

Me: “What kind of soup do you have?”

Server: “Minestrone.”

Me: “Do you guys have meat in yours or make it with meat stock?”

Server: “It doesn’t have any beef in it, but it does have beans. Are beans meat?”

(Pause.)

Server: “… It’s been a long day.”
