Of various travel destinations you often wind up with restaurants that aren’t offering their full menu.

This is totally understandable, their business is greatly reduced- who wouldn’t accordingly cut overheads by not keeping certain items in stock. What is not understandable is how every restaurant apologetically says they don’t have item after item we try to order, but then acts like of COURSE they have the item you finally manage to order that is available. No we don’t have any pastries listed or hot chocolate at our cafe, but OBVIOUSLY we have the chicken soup available. Don’t act like we should have been able to figure out your cafe now only sells chicken soup!

Don’t act like that.
