Ignorance Where The Sun Don’t Shine

I am working at a resort on one of the Greek islands, bringing some drinks to some guests: a group of women on a “girl’s trip” who have been here for the last week.

Guest #1: “Thanks for taking such good care of us, [My Name]! We’ve had such a great time.”

Me: “I’m so glad to hear it! Such a shame you’re leaving tomorrow, but I hope you will always have fond memories of your time here!”

Guest #2: “Yes, we will! We’ve all been very impressed, especially with how much better your sun is compared to the one we have back home!”

Me: *Chuckles* “That is an interesting way of putting it, but you have had very good weather this week! I’m sure you have sunny spells back home, too.”

Guest #1: “Weather is one thing, but it’s the quality of your sun that’s impressed us! The rays give us such a good tan! I wish we had the same sun as Greece does.”

Confused, I asked them to elaborate, terrified that what I was suspecting was actually not true, but yes… it was. This group of middle-aged women — yes, all FOUR of them — literally thought each country had its own sun, moon, etc. At least they were friendly?
