'It's too overdone, redo it': 20+ strange requests servers received from entitled customers

Plenty of folks have to interact with outrageous strangers through their jobs, but no one has it quite like those working in the service industry. It's why they deserve more than the 20% tip lots of entitled customers love to complain about having to pay. 

Sure, anyone in a customer-facing role can relate to the trials and tribulations of our servers and bartenders, but not everyone has to wait on these customers for an extended period of time. People working in call centers certainly have to deal with some despicable behavior, but at the very least, the interaction is brief and relatively disconnected. On the other hand, our servers have had to endure awkward exchanges with disgruntled customers during the drink order portion of the evening, only to have to return ten minutes later for the food order. 

Our hats go off to these brave souls, who shared the strangest requests they ever received from entitled and sometimes outright bizarre customers.
