Sunday around 100 Asian tourists decided to occupy the restaurant at Jølstraholmen, Norway. They set up their own kitchen and served food on their own paper plates.
The manager of the restaurant, Norodd Støfring, coculdn't believe his own eyes when the large group of what he though were guests, started making their own food inside the restaurant.They took up all the tables and set up their own mini kitchen. They served the food from plates they had brought.
It all started when an English speaking guide entered the restaurant, asking if they could eat there. Støfring naturally said yes, they were welcome to.
- I didn't know then it was two full busses of around 100 persons who would not be guests, but in fact bring and prepare their own food.
When the manager, realizing what they were up to, asked them to leave the restaurant, he met little understanding.
- They wouldn't understand what I was talking about. The tour guide who ten minutes earlier spoke very good English, no longer seemed to understand the language.
But the guests, who Støfring believes was either from India or Pakistan, eventually understood they weren't welcome. It all ended with them leaving, serving the food from tables outside the doors of the restaurant.
- I can't remember ever having experienced behaviour as rude as that! But you can't help but see the funny side of it, says Støfring.
Summer has come, so has the tourists.
It sure is a funny time of year...
I couldnt help laughing when I read about this. Hilarious!! Trying to get non-customers to leave ur restaurant and them not understanding a single word of what u r saying!!! Phhhhheeeewww!!!
ReplyDeleteSomething similar happened in U.S. sometime ago. A prankster got about 800 of his friends to dress up in brown chinos trousers and blue shirts which is staff uniform in a large depaartmental store in New York.
They all went into the store in 10mins interval and the managers had a heart attack when about 800 customers came in the same clothes as their staff. They thought it was a terrorist attack and asked them to leave!! Of course getting 800 people out wasnt easy!! hilarious.
Will get the info and post so u can read about it. Cheers!!!
