Customer: Not really, I know your specials better than you do.
Waiter: What would you like to drink?
Customer: Is your ice tea sweetened or unsweetened?
Waiter: We only have sweetened ice tea with lemon Sir.

Waiter: I will give you a few minutes to look at the menu.
5 minutes later Waiter brings a bottle of Perrier and pour into a glass.
Waiter: Have you decided Sir?
Customer: By the way your glasses have spots on them. I will have calamari as an appetizer, and balsamic chicken.
Waiter: Very sorry about the glasses. Chicken comes with a side and a salad.
Customer: I will have Caesar salad and a baked potato with sour cream and chives. Don't overcook the chicken. I mean it! Or I will send it back.
