Humour: an exchange with a German Customer (Deutscher Dame Kunde)

At work a customer came in and I heard those familiar r/w pronunciations.  Also typical of English poshies (listen to Kerr Simmons, news presenter).  I asked, "are you originally from Germany?"  "Yes" in English.  I said "Danke".  She said, "all that from Thank You" in English, instead of 'Bitte'.   It was an insult, lol.   What she incorrectly phrased in English was supposed to be, "all that, JUST for a THANKS!??".  So, I laughed, she was rude in her incorrect English and I was rude in noticing and pointing out the humorous slight in my post.
