'We microwaved her salad': 15+ bizarre requests for servers from entitled customers

Some customers are so picky that you wonder why they even eat at restaurants. If you're so particular about how something is prepared, you might consider whether or not it's easier to just stay home and make something for yourself… since only you know what you like the most. That being said, we are sympathetic to folks with dietary restrictions and more common requests like asking to hold the cheese or swapping fries for a salad. 

Still, there is always a line that delineates a decent and understandable request from an unfair and outlandish one. These servers understand that line all too well. They shared the most memorable and straight-up bizarre requests they ever received from entitled customers while working a shift. These requests include a story in which someone asked for a salad to be heated up repeatedly until the servers had to put it in the microwave to satisfy the customer's needs. Then, there's the person who insisted that chicken was vegetarian, and the other customer who asked for chopsticks at a Mexican restaurant. At least that last one was an accident!
