'"Too many cherries" in the cherry pie': 35+ Utterly ridiculous customer requests that took chefs and waiters by surprise

These chefs and waiters have the patience of saints. They've encountered some truly bizarre customer requests, and they're sharing the strangest of them with the r/AskReddit community.

When you go out to eat and pay for a nice meal, you want it to be perfect the first time. You shouldn't have to ask the server to send back the dish to the kitchen, but it happens. I once got a green egg at a diner during breakfast, which I sent back to the kitchen with haste (politely!). But I'd never dream of sending back perfectly good food for some of the petty little reasons these people did.

For example, some customers have a habit of eating half or ¾ of their meal before summoning their waiter. Then, once their stomachs are almost full, they tell the waiter that their burger is too raw, or that their french fries are cold. And these waiters weren't born yesterday. They know what tricks these sneaky people want to play. From reading these stories, you can see that many waitstaff still go above and beyond to help their customers.

After you check out these insane stories, read about one woman who tried to lie to a restaurant, only to immediately realize it had backfired.
