What is wrong with these Americans visiting Europe?

Me and my girlfriend were eating yesterday at a great Asian Fusion restaurant in the Netherlands where there is no normal menu, but a multiple course menu selected by the single chef that is cooking alone for a few tables. It all dependent on what ingredients he can get freshly, and what he likes to cook that day.

After a while some obnoxiously loud and rude American women steps in and it's already pretty late. The last costumers are almost leaving and the chef finished making the last courses.

>THE MENU CARD PLEASE!
>Uhm sorry we don't have a normal menu card...
>DO YOU HAVE VEGETARIAN?
>Sorry we don't really have vegetarian options
>DO YOU HAVE FISH?
>no sorry
>DO YOU HAVE SOUP?
>we have a tomato soup..

At this point the American women feels personally attacked and repeats 'OK TOMATO SOUP' in a condescending manner and leaves the restaurant slamming the door shut screaming an insincere "OK THANK YOU".

The restaurant bursts into laughter.

Is this normal in America, that instead of asking what they serve, you just ask if they have a particular dish like it's bingo?

And Jesus, act the fuck normal. No reason to loudly storm in a small restaurant and demand the menu card without even saying hello.

Furthermore as a tip, try to adapt coming to here. Your American standards might be absolutely abnormal here, you will be laughed at and look like an absolute prick.

When asking the owner, they had an American group before already who couldn't deal at all with the fact that they weren't allowed to choose and all had different wishes. You're not a fucking diner.
