How do you say "Gag me with a spork" in Italian..?
Why would the managers of a local outlet of an Italian restaurant chain think it's a good idea to have, in addition to the cheesy Italian and pseudo-Italian music (Rosemary Clooney's "Mambo Italiano"; anything by Dean Martin) that plays in the restaurant proper, Italian language lessons piped into the restrooms?
When I visited the facilities yesterday, the lesson was going through permutations of "delicious", i.e., how to say "delicious," "so delicious," incredibly delicious," etc., in Italian, and how to use these phrases in a sentence.
People. Think about what your customers (if not your employees...) are apt to do in your restrooms that you've overlaid with not one but two soundtracks, one of which appears to be The Gourmand's Guide to Sucking Up to the Cook in Italian.
"Oh, man, those huevos rancheros I had for breakfast are comin' out like chinga...." BRRRRAAAAAPPPPPFFFFFTT!!
Or:
"Ah, hell, I think that clam sauce was bad..." RAAAAALLLLLLLLLFFFFF!!!
All the while a couple of idiots are reciting permutations of "delicious" and "so delicious" and "orgasmically delicious" in the background.
While that may make for a fine bit of Rabelaisian, even surreal comedy, I kinda doubt that this was your intention, as it isn't likely to attract repeat custom.
