The Soup Nazi

"The Soup Nazi" is a character from the television show *Seinfeld*, based on a fictional soup stand known for its exceptional soups and strict, no-nonsense attitude. The owner insists on rigid rules for ordering, and customers who don't comply risk being denied service with the memorable phrase, "No soup for you!" The character symbolizes how strict enforcement of rules, especially in customer service, can create a humorous yet intimidating environment. The term “Soup Nazi” has since entered popular culture to describe someone who is overly rigid, authoritarian, or uncompromising in their dealings.
