Title: Phoenix Dark's Hypothetical Conversations - Episode #1
Post by: Phoenix Dark on September 24, 2006, 11:09:03 PM
After church today (don't ask) me and my family went out to dinner at a Chinese all you can eat buffet - The Dynasty Buffet. I absolutely love Chinese food, so I had a blast. But I noticed our waiter didn't seem to understand English. She could understand and say some rather basic things though, like "more Coke?" or "Finish?" I didn't realize this at first, so I thought she was being rude to me.

Waitress: More water?
Phoenix: Actually, I think I've had to much to drink. Do you guys have any extra napkins by any chance?
Waitress: ...Coke?

After about 3-4 incidents of this behavior, I just had to play around. The entire conversations reminded me of the merchant in RE4, so I...

Waitress: Finish?
Phoenix: What are you selling?
Waitress: ...plate?
Phoenix: Ahhh, I'll buy it at a high price
Waitress: *takes my plate*

I couldn't help it. I gave her a big tip ($9) at the end though for putting up with me. Has anyone else had a similar experience at a restaurant where many foreigners work?

The lady at my local Chinese restaurant actually does the "and den..." thing from Dude Where's My Car. I'm pretty much always ripped when I order from there and it always destroys me, especially hard if I'm just ordering sundaes for delivery.

You do know that most workers in CHinese resturants are illegal immigrants, don't you?

They come over illegally on boats, and then work for a few years in resturants to pay off the cost to smuggle them over.

The lady at mine when you order in a very fierce tone says "WHAT ELSE" after you say something, it's like bitch shut up.

WHAT ELSE

Reminds me of pornos I've seen. That would be pretty cool if you could just...for $30...

Ordering over the phone for Chinese take out here is always amusing, especially when I have to tell her a debit card number to pay. We try to make sure to have cash on hand instead now.

Most Chinese people automatically assume I don't know Chinese anyway (since I'm an ABC - American Born Chinese), so I do like to screw with them a bit.  I just pretend like I can't understand what they're asking me, even going as far as letting a white/black/hispanic coworker translate for me, before getting what they want.  Then my family will walk in and I'll start speaking Cantonese to them.   ::)
