As a restaurant manager, it was sometimes difficult to decide who was more ignorant: the guests or the employees.<br> <br> On one particularly busy night, I am coordinating the front door and helping the hostesses get off the one hour wait. I notice a server and a guest staring at the lobster tank in the dining room filled with various sized lobsters.<br> <br> The server stops me and asks "Is it 1.8, 1.9, 1.10?" pronouncing 'One point ten'.<br> <br> Baffled, all I can muster to say is "What?"<br> <br> "Does it go 1.8, 1.9, 1.10?"<br> <br> "What are you talking about?"<br> <br> "The lobster sizes. Some lobsters weigh 1.8 pounds. Some weigh 1.9 pounds. We can't find any that weigh 1.10 pounds."<br> <br> Fortunately for her, I was serving out my month's notice and preparing to leave to run another restaurant so I didn't have to fire her.
