Servers Discuss Goofiest Requests From Customers at Restaurants

Working in the service industry is one of the toughest to endure, as customers, management, and coworkers can really get under your skin. You need the patience of a sloth, the memory of an elephant, and the speed of a cheetah. Picture this: a family of eight, children sobbing whilst simultaneously drooling, parents at their wit's end just rattling off their order to you while corralling their children. Having a long list of dietary restrictions and substitutions to their order after demanding you explain everything on the menu for them. Sending you for drink refills every couple of minutes… the list goes on. And that's just one table.

Your face hurts from smiling because, after all, you can't be rude. To most people, at least. Despite the fact that some customers will ask you some pretty ridiculous questions, you have to keep your cool. Scroll down for the funniest, most goofy things that customers have actually said out loud to servers. For more like this, here is an employee who closed the largest deal in history for the company they worked for, and still got fired.
