    Font - frostandtheboughs 16 hr. ago I served a lady a long island iced tea and she got mad that the ice was floating on the top instead of the bottom. Sorry ma'am, I'll just go ahead change the laws of physics and make you a new one.

    Font - Honestnt 23 hr. ago edited 19 hr. ago We had a woman send a grilled chicken salad back because it was cold. So we cooked some new chicken and made sure to send it back while still warm. She sent it back again. The entire salad wasn't hot enough for her. We microwaved her salad. She ate it. I don't know man.

    Font - waffle-house420 18 hr. ago Once had a dude order a large garden salad looked me dead in the eyes and very seriously said "No purple in it" and I just acted like ya sure ok with no followup questions. Ended up picking out anything purple colored in the salad and very nervously watched him pick through it. Was satisfied enough and left a decent tip.

A gentleman soot himself at a booth and asked for a tablecloth so he could walk out with it wrapped around him, I still serve him to this day and that was around 15yrs ago, no shame.

    Font - Shouty_Dibnah 17 hr. ago Not food related.... I walked into a public bathroom once and based on the smell and the gentle sobbing and cussing coming from a stall knew a guy had exploded prematurely and was in a mess. I just said "we've all been there man, what can I do to help". Guy slid his car keys under the stall, described his car and where he was parked and said his gym bag was in the trunk. I fixed him up.

    Font - BitterChill5 19 hr. ago I once had a woman order a glass of red wine, with a side of creamer. I actually didn't think much of it at first, but when I brought them to her, she proceeded to pour the cream into the glass of wine. I told her I've never seen that before. She said "you've got to try it!" I'm not going to try it.

    Font - janeusmaximus • 19 hr. ago Flava Flav came in to the restaurant I worked at. It was a fancy seafood place. He ordered just a plate of cucumbers for himself, everyone else at his table ordered normal things. I'm guessing he maybe doesn't like seafood? Hilarious. Yes, he wore a giant clock chain and he let the staff take pics with him as he said "Flava Flav!" Really nice guy.

    Font - Friendly Fisherman_7 · 19 hr. ago Worked with a guy on a fishing boat that claimed to never drink water. Weirdest person I've ever met. Really good work ethic though and to my knowledge and his credit I never saw the man drink a glass of water. But my god could he put away milk. Like a gallon+ a day. Used to mix flavoring packets with it. Nothing like working 16 hours hauling in fish and finishing your night with a nice cold glass of grape flavored milk.

    Font - himechans 22 hr. ago i used to work at olive garden. there was a lady that would come in at least once a week and she was dubbed by us staff as "pepperoncini lady". she would want you to open a new bag of the pepperoncini's we used in the salads and pour out the juice in a cup, she would literally straight up drink the juice. she would also get a bowl of pepperoncinis and just eat them.

    Font - craigfwynne 19 hr. ago Had someone visibly offended that their glass of wine didn't have ice. After I get her a mug of ice to pour it over, she asked for sugar packets which she stirred into it. I could she still wasn't enjoying it and offered to get her a soft drink instead. She gladly let me swap it for some lemonade.
