Had a good laugh at work today

[henryholub]

Probably the best order I ever received wasn't from someone who was ignorant or inconsiderate, it was actually just downright hilarious. A big, crust cowboy at the table orders a rare steak. When i turn to walk off he said "now son, you understand rare don't you?" I asked him for his definition of rare and he says "you knock off the head, wipe the butt, and throw it on the plate." made my evening

Oh lovely!
I'll try and remember my funny ones but here my absolute worst so far:
I served a couple who, for some reason, decided to bring their dog with. Everything went well at first, took their order, took their drinks, set the table. When I took their food out the dog suddenly jumped up and bit me! It grabbed my calf and it wouldn't let go. The owners completely ignored it!!! They just sat there like nothing was going on. I was so shocked, I can't remember how I got rid of the dog, but I literally threw their food down on the table, stormed into the kitchen and told my boss she can continue serving them, I refuse to go back to their table. They didn't even apologise!
Embarrassing moments were mostly people I served who kissed me, yes, on the lips.
The best are the ones who insist you sit down and have a drink with them.

I love my waitresses in some of the eating establishments! I tip them WELL and feel good!

Sorry I dont have any stories to share, never did waitressing.

I'm serious! With "no cucumber and no green or yellow or red peppers". Kitchen staff snuck some red peppers into her bean salad and she ate it. Silly woman.

Uh-oh...if you are altering food on the menu to 'get even' with your customers or for whatever reason the staff may have had, I must 'red flag' your establishment.....
~your secret BYC shopper
...or secret department of health inspector
...or head of the chain going undercover as a customer to see what the treatment is like
I'm not sure which I want to be yet.

Does anyone else see the need for a career change here?

 

[theotherranch]

Sour, a career change for whom?
un-naned or sumi?
If you mean sumi,you've never worked food service!

 

[sourland]

Never worked food service, but the Princess has - know a fair amount about it. First one needs to know the job they are doing. There are two types of chops - neither of them comes from the butt. In life in general, bad attitude engenders more bad attitude. Just sayin'.


Sourland - courteous to those in food service and recieives the same attitudein return.

Honestly, as a picky eater myself, if I had ordered no red peppers, and I got them and ate them anyways, I would be remembering that lapse come tip time. When a person gives an order to their server, they expect it to be carried out as ordered. Especially since it costs about 5 times at a restaurant than making it yourself. A person can be a bit picky when ordering in a restaurant.

Because of this I love to frequent a small burger place that serves just about everything under the sun. I walk in and 5 minutes later there is my burger with cheese, no onion, no tomato, mayo and mustard on the side and onion rings well done, iced tea extra ice and no lemon.

<-------------- picky but never rude about it. I just expect it to be done as ordered. I do not expect snickering wait staff in the kitchen sneaking in slice of raw onion on my burger.

PS - made many a meal for the Ft. Irwin folks at Peggy Sue's 50's Diner too - in-laws own it.

Sourland, there are more than two types of chops. Go ask your butcher.

Sumi, i have to agree with some others on here. Its not cool to mess with peoples food...
Period. NO reason to EVER do it... thats not being a professional food server, and as for the chefs that "added" things the lady didnt want...
I can just imagine what other "things" they have done to peoples food. How disgusting and scary.
I only hope it never happens to you or them when you go out to eat somewhere... Wouldnt that be karma?
