This actually sort of happened to my father and his brother who were
ironically restaurantuers. They were at Luchows a famous german restaurant in
NYC. My uncle asked for ketsup for his weiner schnitzel and the waiter chased
him out to the place (funny scene according to my father - One fat New Jersey
Resaturant owner being chased by an even fatter german waiter.)
