Lol, I was in a Chinese take-away restaurant in a very posh suburb in England, when this retired gentleman came in. The waitress said "Wah-Jew-Whan?" to him, and he just looked at her, so she said "Wah-Jew-Whan?" again, and he said "I beg your pardon?". So she said "Wah-Jew-Whan?" a third time, and he said "I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are saying to me". I was nearly pissing myself laughing...

Asia? This is an everday occurrence everywhere you go here in the US. The little market down the street has this motion detected door chime. As you walk through it it says, "Danku fo comeen!" over and over as people walk in and out.. I don't even try to understand the people behind the counter. I just point, pay, and go about my day..
