I love watching sushi virgins.
The other night I was at a sushi place with my boyfriend. We're sitting at the bar (you need 3 or more people to get a booth) and a nice lady sits next to us. She introduces herself, my boyfriend and I introduce ourselves, the evening seems to be going nicely.
The sushi place works with sushi being brought to people on a circular conveyor belt. booths and the bar are placed around the conveyor belt so when you see a plate you like, you can reach out and grab it. Now, it used to be you would pay a certain amount concerning the color of the plate you grab (it was like green plates were $1, orange $1.25, and so on) but they started what was supposed to be a temporary sale with all plates being a dollar, and it's been going on for the last two years. It must be really profitable I guess.
As we're sitting there waiting for the dishes we like to come up, the lady reveals she's never had sushi. I ask what she likes to eat and if she has any food borne allergies to see what plates I can recommend.
This is what happens
R: Your favorite muffin
D: Boyfriend
SV: Sushi virgin
R: So, what foods do you like? Do you have any allergies or anything?
SV: What? That's kind of personal don't you think?
R: Sorry, I was just trying to get some information to help you choose something you might like.
SV: Oh, I know what I like. (spies some Kalimari) Oh! Onion Rings!
(Note, Kalimari is deep fried squid. I don't really know how this lady mistook this for onion rings since it really isn't circular or ring like)
R:
No, that's Kalimari. It's-
SV: Is that Asian for onion rings? (AN: Asian is now a language?) (grabs the onion rings off the belt)
R: Um, those aren't onion rings. That's fried squid. This restaurant doesn't have onion rings.
SV: Oh that's silly. You're a little girl! I've had onion rings before. Or should I call them Kalimari?
R: They're not onion rings. Kalimari is deep fried squid.
SV: (picking up a large piece of kalimari) Oh, you need to study more in school and learn your foods. (takes a bite out of the piece of kalimari and then gets a weird look on her face) Something's wrong with these onion rings.
R: They're not onion rings. They are fried squid.
SV: I'm going to tell the waiter that these onion rings are bad. This is ridiculous. This is horrible customer service.
D: (sees I'm about to try and confront the SV) Don't open your mouth, it appears the patient is brain dead.
R: I tried my best.
D: Yeah, well there's only so much you can do when talking to a brick wall. I'm going to order some tea.
The remainder of this dinner is my boyfriend and I eating out dinner and ignoring SV as she makes a stink about how the "onion rings" aren't made right. Finally, they actually refund her meal and she leaves.
Seriously, when is it okay to just smack someone upside the head like in a v8 commercial cause they're being stupid.
