If restaurants functioned like Microsoft

Patron : Waiter!
Waiter : Hi, my name is Bill and I'll be your Support Waiter. What seems to be the problem?
Patron : There's a fly in my soup!
Waiter : Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.
Patron : No, it's still there.
Waiter : Maybe it's the way you're using the soup; try eating it with a fork instead.
Patron : Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.
Waiter : Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl; what kind of bowl are you using?
Patron : A SOUP bowl!
Waiter : Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem; how was the bowl set up?
Patron : You brought it to me on a saucer; what has that to do with the fly in my soup?!
Waiter : Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?
Patron : I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!
Waiter : Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?
Patron : You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??
Waiter : Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.
Patron : Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?
Waiter : The current Soup of the Day is tomato.
Patron : Fine. Bring me the tomato soup and the check. I'm running late now.
[waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check]
Waiter : Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.
Patron : This is potato soup.
Waiter : Yes, the tomato soup wasn't ready yet.
Patron : Well, I'm so hungry now, I'll eat anything.
[waiter leaves.]
Patron : Waiter! There's a gnat in my soup!
