Once at work I had two customers with English/British accents order "kangaroo burgers." Um, yeah, right. I'll get right on that.
It's freaking Maccas! WTF? The menu is BASICALLY EXACTLY THE SAME wherever you're from, I'm sure. Finally one ordered burgers from our menu, and as I was getting their meals (quarter pounders, I think), she explained to her friend that I was serving them "kangaroo burgers." Wow, you're so funny. Hilarious. If you want something like that, go to a real restaurant. If you want to joke about Australia, go somewhere else, I love my country and I don't have much of a sense of humour about either Australia or my workplace.
(Note: I had a great time in England, encountered only nice, polite people, but all the tourists from there are so hoity-toity! They start off with a rude remark about the city, and take forever to decide what they want when they get to the front of the line. I guess all the nice people are left at home!)
When I lived overseas, I got all kinds of questions about our native animals, and I was told that my accent was awesome. It's true, it IS awesome (conceited much?), so I didn't mind that. But if one more person asks me about my pet kangaroo, I'll scream. I've followed through on that threat before, so I'd take it seriously if I were you.
