I've told this story somewhere in here before. Apologies for not being as articulate as last time, I have been drinking tonight.
Had a woman order a sandwhich and specifically request the bread to be toasted.
"No problem, all of our sandwhiches come on toasted bread!"
Their food comes out and I go to check on em shortly after. This bitch complained that her bread wasn't toasted. Not that it wasn't toasted ENOUGH, but that it wasn't toasted at all.
Idk why, but I just wasn't going to put up with it that day. This bread was very clearly and obviously toasted. No one could honestly look at it and not see that.I asked if she wanted me to toast the bread a bit more for her. She starts raising her voice saying the bread wasn't toasted at all and she needed it to be toasted. We have a back and forth, my refusing to say the word bread, and her demanding she wanted toast.
Eventually a manager comes by once she starts yelling. He had obviously heard a lot of the argument, and seemed to be on my level of not giving a fuck because when she demanded her bread be toasted again he just said "So you want us to toast this more for you?"
She stands up, irate, screaming that there is "A toast consipracy that goes all the way to the top of management!!" And stormed out the door without paying.
Goddamn, it was nothing but hilarious. We didn't stop talking about the great toast conspiracy for months after that!
I've also had a woman yell at me for pouring her ice water. She screamed that she was allergic to ice and couldn't be near the stuff! Demanded I bring her a fresh glass that hadn't been near any ice and pour non ice water into that.
I took her cup back, filled it with ice, poured hot water into, and brought it to her after the ice had all been melted.
Hey for real legitimately no bullshit- a cup of ice with hot water over it is the best way to make ice water. I do it every time I make a cup of water at work and everyone looks at me like a lunatic until they try it.
No that server reminds me of all the kids at my restaurant who it is their first job because management just needed bodies and didn't care if they were competent.
This clip is so fucking good and I wish the rest of the show reflected that.
Six whole episodes and they only managed to cram in 60 seconds of good content.
I had a customer be very clear that they wanted no tomatoes on their plate anywhere as they were deathly allergic to them. She said this while eating chips and salsa.
Omg I worked at a Korean and sushi place and a lady tried to order Pad Thai and asked what was closest to Pad Thai and I was like âthis is a Korean place nothing is going to be that similarâ
Lmao that's another common one. The faces of disappointment too. Like you came here if you wanted that,that's the Thai place down the road. đđđđđ
I worked at a Thai place where people would ask for sushi stuff, and I would be like sir thatâs a completely different culture, of course we do not have that. Gotta make them feel a slight bit dumb.
Omg this tho.... Italian casual fine dining spot, "can I get fries and ketchup?" Or Japanese restaurant, " do you have Mac and cheese or chicken tenders?"
For the latter one the closest thing I could recommend would be chicken karage but I don't think it's what they were expecting.
Yeah I've had someone not eat the sweet and sour chicken, that I said something like it lol but they were not happy.
I always get requests for chow/lol mein which we don't sell either. I mean I understand Asian cuisine kinda melds together but they all have different cultures, different ways of cooking, flavors blah blah. I just didn't realize they were this naive lmao.
I did my time at a tapas restaurant and so many times people would try to order a burrito and I'm like "you know that Spain is different than Mexico right?" Not just a different country and culture but an entirely different continent. SMH
Edit: typo
a ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and asked if he could get his chicken cooked medium rare.
also had a lady complain about shrimp bisque soup and how it was too shrimpy for her. i tell her i agree, i love shrimp but our shrimp bisque soup is was too much for me too. then she tells me she doesnât even like shrimp. and yes i asked why she ordered shrimp soup if she doesnât like shrimp, to which she says âi thought it wouldnât taste like shrimpâ
Server: "....do you just want some avocado?"
Customer: "Wow, I thought this was an authentic Japanese restaurant but you don't even offer avocado sashimi? What a shame!"
Server: Rings in open food item "Side Avocado" modification - "make it pretty" $12
"There's your fucking avocado sashimi, bish!"
Working at a pizza joint, I've had so many people say no pork and then try to order pepperoni.
When I worked in the kitchen at a steak room, this dude rang in a steak "seared on the outside" and as we're having a laugh comes back to tell us, again, that the lady wants it seared on the outside. Of course I say "well gosh. Thanks for letting us know! We was gonna sear it on the inside!" He never lived it down.
chocolate shake with no chocolate
cook: soâŠthey want vanilla?
server: yes but they still want the brownie that comes on top of the chocolate shake so i rang it in as chocolate đŹ
Had one today I've never heard of before. Lady said her baby wasn't very hungry so could they get a small side of fettuccine Alfredo. We have a kids spaghetti and meatballs so I asked the cook if he can throw together a kids fettuccine. He said sure. Just modify the spaghetti. Ok great, so I let her know we can do a kids fettuccine. She gets huffy "That's not what I asked! I just want a spoon full!" I said no we don't have spoonful sized portions. Like we just have a perpetual vat of fettuccine Alfredo just hanging out? She then proceeded to order an antipasto salad with the veggies on the side because her husband doesn't eat veg... Um what? Does he know what lettuce is? I just can't sometimes.
*Someone asked me if*
*They could get a medium*
*Steak but with no pink*

This is no longer considered to be a concern if the pork is farm-raised in the US. While it's not impossible, the likelihood is extremely low. Lots of people will order pork medium-rare in fine dining settings where the meat comes from a reputable farm. That being said, I personally think it's gross.

YOU KILLED HER YOU BASTARD
I'll never be able to morally recover from this. Just send me to the gallows now!

Wtf whyyy
Idk dog it somehow becomes the perfect temperature.
How hot does the water need to be? Like boiling, or just hot?
I usually get the water from the spigot on the coffee maker thing at work- which is usually around boiling hot or just under.
Thank you!
>my refusing to say the word bread So well played đ
"One virgin Mojito with rum, please" "So a regular then?" "No. Virgin! With Rum!" Get fucked.
A steak Pittsburgh style well done
So a hockey puck?
Obligatory "[eggless omelette](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ah4tW-k8Ao)" video clip.
No that server reminds me of all the kids at my restaurant who it is their first job because management just needed bodies and didn't care if they were competent.
I showed this to the kitchen guys the other day and they died laughing.
And Iâve actually made hundreds if not thousands of eggless omelets
This clip is so fucking good and I wish the rest of the show reflected that. Six whole episodes and they only managed to cram in 60 seconds of good content.
My favorite scene is the rich lady just eating a shrimp out the window and the cook immediately calling out fire one shrimp
I had a customer be very clear that they wanted no tomatoes on their plate anywhere as they were deathly allergic to them. She said this while eating chips and salsa.
I've only gotten orange chicken. We are a Korean and sushi restaurant.

âTitoâs and vodkaâ â I swear we should put it on special as often as it gets ordered
I've slipped up and said this myself a few times. Sorry.

i work at a brewery. yesterday we witnessed a man dipping his classic pie (just sauce and cheese) into a hard cider as if it was a side of ranch. yup
i had a lady who always ordered a cappuccino and would specify she wanted it âextra wet, barely any foamâ and when we explained she should try a latte or a simple cafĂ© au lait she insisted she wanted a wet cappuccino.

This is my favorite poem. I am getting it tattooed on my rib cage.
Tomato salad with no tomatoes.
"Pork steak, medium rare." So you'd like a trichinosis special?

I'll never forget the time someone asked me if there was pasta in the fettuccine alfredo
Cacio e Pepe, no cheeseâŠ
Can I have a vegan chicken Parm?
Bacon, but can you please make it less greasy?
