Stupid, well, just stupid

 Every now and then you get the customer who asks a question or makes a statement, that’s just, well, stupid…


One night a woman asked me what kind of fish was the whitefish ……I had never been asked this before….it’s not that I was stumped…I was just sort of dumbfounded…I think I stared at her like a deer in the headlights for a moment……and then slowly answered, “Whitefish.”

One night, a grandmother type person, after tasting our marinara sauce and meat sauce, (I guess they weren’t good enough for her), looked at me and said, “We’re Italian! Does that tell you anything?” I think I’m supposed to know the answer to that, it seems kind of vague, but let me venture a couple of guesses….”You’re in the mafia?” “You’ve just committed a cardinal sin by not finishing the pasta that’s on the table?” “You braid your armpit hair?”

So yes, you’re Italian, and yes, that does tell me something….please see above paragraph…..

Immediately after taking an order, you tell your table that you will have their salads and some bread out in a couple of minutes, and then someone asks, “Do we get bread?”

Yes, I’ll be bringing bread out for everyone, except you sir. Due to the fact that you weren’t paying any attention to anything I said, you have now lost your bread privileges.”
