Well, consider the alternative scenario, where we *don't* give them 
"something to shut them up".

Customer: What's today's special?

Waiter: I'm sorry, but I don't want to sell you anything.

Customer: Er, what? OK, can you tell me what's on the menu?

Waiter: No sir. That would be shoving information down your throat.

Customer: Dammit, at least tell me what kind of food you serve here. 
Italian? Chinese? French? Indian? You serve soup?

Waiter: Sir, we serve food, and that's all I can say. Categorising the food 
would be hand holding.

Customer: #$@#% what kind of crappy place is this? I think I'll go 
elsewhere, thank you.

Waiter: (Phew, at least I didn't sell him anything. My conscience is clear.)

Come, come, Eric. My script makes for a far funnier movie. I'll have Eddie 
Murphy in the lead role too. ;)

I've been accused of being wicked before, but never of being a librarian. :p

Cheers,
