I work at an Italian restaurant. One night I was sat with an older husband and wife. The guy was pretentious, trying to act like he knew everything about everything and I was just an idiot waiter. He tells me that he would like some sparkling water. “Of course, we have San Pellegrino.” He looks at me like I am stupid and says, “I don’t want that. I want an ITALIAN sparkling water. Do you have Perrier?” Ah yes, the delicious ITALIAN Perrier. Bottled in the heart of Tuscany, just south of Paris. Idiot. I took great pleasure in correcting him.

haha! customers always think they know more then the employees
haha, I work at a diner style restaurant that is pretty laid back. However, I live in wine country so we get a lot of rich pricks that think they are in a high class restaurant. A customer asked for Perrier, and when I explained that we had no sparkling water he became angry and asked if there was anything I can bring that is close. My friend walked by and told the customer he would be happy to get a straw and blow bubbles in his water if he would like. The man’s wife thought it was great.
