Waiting In Vegas

Today a couple came in and and ordered something from our appetizer menu to share.   The menu item came with both jalapenos and green onions.   Since it was the middle of the day and it was relatively slow, their food came out pretty quickly.   When I walked by the table I noticed the lady was picking off the green onions so I stopped by to make sure everything was ok.

I said something along the lines of   “I see your food arrived.    Is everything alright?”   She looked at me with a look of disgust and disapproval, wrinkled her nose, and said “Well, they left the jalapenos on,” to which I replied “Those are green onions.”   Her reply “Oh.”

I left her table and immediately repeated the story for my coworkers.   The lady was well over forty.   I find it incredible that someone so fucking old has no clue what a jalapeno OR a green onion looks like.   I can accept one but both just makes her a fucking moron.
