Restaurant experiences so bad they were funny?

We four were on holiday and visited a small town in Britain. One of us craved Indian food. We found a small restaurant advertising itself as Indian. A dark-skinned waiter with a very Indian accent brought menus and asked what we wanted. The first person started ordering - maybe butter chicken or something - but the waiter broke in with "No Indian food today" - spoken abruptly in his thick Indian accent which made it specially hard not to laugh.

Disappointed, we tried ordering other things not-Indian but nearly all of them were also "not today". With a bit of group giggling we finally decided we'd just make do with ham & cheese sandwiches and a beer. The sandwiches did arrive but there was no ham in them! We were by now convulsed in silent hysterics and didn't even bother to complain. The beer never came.

We went to Florida when we were kids. Everyone kept saying have a nice day to us which we thought was cute. Then at a diner a grumpy waitress dumped our order on the table with such force that Dads burger fell apart and fell on the floor. The waitress turned as if expecting an argument but Dad smiled and said “have a nice day” in her face then blanked her.

It became the catch phrase of the holiday for when something disappointing was happening “have a nice day 🙃”

@SirenCalledLuce I don't know the meaning of 'blanked her'? Those family catch phrases can be fun, though. With my Dad & I it was always 'This won't be a long job.'
