Along the same lines: When I worked at Pizzeria Uno, they had a very popular appetizer called, 'Muchos Nachos.' I cannot tell you how many times people order 'Macho Nachos!'
Hum.... Now I want some Nachos. Macho or otherwise, they're really good!
That's hilarious. When i worked at a Mexican restaurant, people ordered 'FA-JIGHT-A's all the time.

I think anyone who's worked in a restaurant can speak on people's ignorance...if you can't pronounce it, you can't eat it!!

when I worked as a waitress, I had people order a glass of MerLOT. Literally, merLOT.
I also had people (often) order the GUNOCKY. (gnocchi)
