My sister once worked in a pub and when someone rung up to book a table she replied “I’m sorry, we’re bully fucked tonight”

In an Italian restaurant in Florida our waiter asked me if I’d like soup or salad with my meal. I thought he said “super salad” and asked him to explain what a super salad was…

I’ll always remember an old friend of mine from Spain doing a comedy sketch and explaining that he works in a Liverpool restaurant. A couple comes in and asks “do you do scran and bevvys” (Scouse for drinks and food). To which he replies “I’ll just go and ask my manager” lmao

When I was 16 I worked in a cafe and on my first day someone asked for an espresso. I didn’t know what it was and thought the machine was broken so I gave them a full cup of espresso

Quite a while ago I worked in a call centre and overheard “I’m sorry but toilet water can’t cost that much – doesn’t your toilet have water in it already?” The person on the other end was trying to order eau de toilette and the handler had used Google translate

I had a great aunt who once kept talking about how someone brought her a container of cut veggies and dip but the container said “crud-ites” and we had no idea wtf she was saying and then we finally got it and now we all refer to it as “crud-ites” like 20 years later. pic.twitter.com/FeVWI1z3Hk

When I was 18 I worked in a hotel and did some shifts as a night porter. The job sheet said “wash windows with hot water and vinegar. Get vinegar from kitchen.” The only vinegar I could find was balsamic. Didn’t know what it was so thought yep, this’ll do.
