I was 14 working one of my first few shifts at a chippy with table service. A little old lady asked for ‘plaice and chips’ but I didn’t know there was a fish called plaice, so I gave her a plate of chips

My wife once worked in a bar and was asked for a pint of lager and a bitter lemon. After looking confused and cheking the second part of the order a couple of times she poured the pint of lager and then got a slice ‘bit of’ lemon and put it in an empty glass next to the lager

When I worked in Marks and Spencer, some guy approached and asked me where the exit was. I was wearing a bakery cap and was too anxious to get him to repeat what he said so I showed him to the eggs and he stood looking at them for a good minute

I once had someone ask for “naan bread” when I was working at a grocery store. For some reason, I heard it as “non-bread.”
So I was like, “You mean gluten free bread?”
“No, non-bread.”
“Like…tortillas?”
I was standing directly in front of the naan.

Was at a reception in Dubai some years ago. Ordered a beer and white wine. That was what I got – neatly poured into the same glass.

Worked in a hotel…. customer told the waiter he thought the fish was a bit dry…
Waiter replied “that’s what happens when you take a fish out of water”
Luckily the customer took it well!— The Curly Stu (@stuart_bowes) September 3, 2020
