Yeah, it also immediately made me think how creepy it would be of the sexes were reversed.

Yes. It is breathtaking.

Hmmm. I like how the dude has one arrow stuck in his crotch.

Well, she doesn’t know what she does either. Other than being Kanye’s ex-girlfriend, and doing porn and modeling, I have no idea why this person thinks they can write an advice book about finance, love or life. Anybody who thinks it’s a good idea to inject silicone into their ass shouldn’t be allowed to give life…

Unfortunately, “Can I fap to this person” is taken into account when considering their marketability.

You may have noticed that Clarkson is fat. That is the reason behind the confusing things you identified.

No, I agree. Niether RiRi (as much as I love her) or Taylor Swift are anywhere close to being in her league in terms of actual vocal ability.

Just goes to show that all it takes is a good voice to change a meh song into a decent one. Kelly clarkson is so underrated. She’s got killer pipes. I seem to recall reading that she’s looking for work and people to duet with but nobody wants to collab?! Wtf? She’s WAY more talented than most pop artists out there!

Because if it makes no sense, it’s not a cute story, it’s a “ha ha funny foreigners with their accents” joke that isn’t even funny.

It’s relevant because as a person who has been on the other side of this situation several times, I much preferred having the option of pointing it out on the menu if they couldn’t understand me. I would have felt more embarrassed than usual if I had to keep trying my pronunciation to three different people.

Amen to that. Doubling down and snapping at people probably isn’t the best next step to take either.

The problem is that you describe this story as detailing what a server “should” do in this situation, and it really isn’t, at all.

Maybe it’s time to switch to decaf?

But they’re asking for it. They even said it phonetically. Where did they get the idea that the restaurant even served it? They MUST have seen it on the menu. I would have just asked for them to point to it. Problem solved.

Yep, arguably a more intelligent person would’ve passed up this comedy opportunity for the sake of doing their job effectively and minimizing headaches. But because he did not, we are fortunate enough to have this Abbot and Costello routine to entertain us.

By “difficult-to-understand customer” you mean someone with an accent, not weird ideas about food. And by “handle” them, you mean being “too proud to admit we were clueless”?

Because if he did that he would’ve missed out on all this African-accented hilarity!

Followed by a multipart Shakespearian comedy of errors where nobody bothered to point at the menu? Also, English is Ghana’s official first language and is pretty much what is spoken in urban areas and among elites, so it would be very strange if diplomats to the US were unable to speak it clearly.

Um, I got pissed at the people who took over the only jacuzzi at a (not cheap) hotel to use as their own personal kiddie pool for their baby, replete with so many floaty toys and kick boards that nobody else could use it — not that they could turn on the jets even if they were able to squeeze in, because BABY. They…
