You go to a Korean Restaurant, and are looking at the menu at the entrance, still undecided if you're going to commit. Before you've had much of a chance to peruse, the overly-friendly waiter comes up and closes that menu, and gives you a different one- a simple, all on one page, laminated one.
"Westerners like this menu", he says, and recommends some basic kinda thing at the top of the list. "This one is nice".
Are you--
a) Appreciative of the help, seeing as though you weren't that confident to order from the other menu.
b) Annoyed that he assumed you had no idea of what to order, and wanted you to choose from about five dishes rather than fifty.
c) A bit uneasy about the whole 'you Westerners like..' line. You're not really offended, it's just kind of annoying and condescending.

d) Ask him in Korean to give me the other menu: I don't want this 하얀 악마 muck
b)sorry....but that's just rude. make the suggestion of an alternative menu if it's brought up by the customer.
c. Truth is, I want the one page menu.
for the record, I was a mixture of B and C.
