I used to work at a grocery store and this was pretty common. One time I was handed a slip of paper that said "monster jello" and the guy actually wanted mozzarella. Another time someone wanted "gampfruit" and it was actually eggplant.
“monster jello” - mozzarella.
Did they know it was cheese?
“gampfruit” - eggplant
If they were a native speaker - this baffles me.
After establishing the monster jello guy wasn't talking about jello, I asked if it was a condiment. He said yes. I showed him mayonnaise hoping it was what he meant. He took a jar from my hand and said, "No, it's supposed to be cold." After figuring it out he sighed and said we have too many "foreign foods."
The most common problem was people who had no idea what to call tomato sauce. They called it anything from prago (combination of Ragu and Prego), red sauce, "ketchup sauce" or one person who was adamant it's called oregano.

It's like a bit.

What. The. Hell.
This confirms my suspicions that all foreigners actually do speak English, but they're speaking other "languages" to purposely confuse me
Very shy man just wants to see the Leppercorn movie so he passes off a note.
We sometimes joke about illiteracy rates in :amerikkka: but it's actually really sad

What is it, 56% of Americans read at or below a 6th grade level? It’s fucking despicable
They clearly wanted a copy of (I forget but probably CW racism, sexism, just about everything) Leprechaun In The Hood .
If I remember this movie right, the opening scene depicts three guys trying to sell a guitar at a pawn shop and claiming it belonged to Jimi Hendrix. The pawn shop owner isn't fooled, so the guys try doing the exact same same on someone else.
Also the ending scene of this movie is a rap battle where Warwick Davis raps about how cool it is being an evil leprechaun
