Restaurant workers divulge the weirdest ways customers tried to get a free meal: 'A woman with long, straight black hair found a long, straight black hair in her food'

By virtue of involving the general public, all customer-facing industries come with their fair share of struggles and horror stories.

It has to be said, though, that food service seems to have the highest proportion of truly intolerable customers. Perhaps it is just because people are hangry, or they believe that they can push the boundaries more when eating out, but there are a lot of people who go to bars, restaurants, and takeout places and proceed to act on the worst behavior.

While the tips may (sometimes) be good for servers and other similar members of staff, it can be a toss-up as to whether it is really worth it when certain customers walk through the door. It may all be part of the job, but it is far from enjoyable. The one good thing is that at least the most egregious people can give somebody a good story to tell.

In this case, food service employees came together to reminisce on the strangest ways that customers had tried to get their place of work to give them a free meal. Involving lots of putting weird stuff in food and occasionally, just blatant entitlement, it is fair to say that many of these examples make you wonder why they thought that such actions would be successful. While those eating at an establishment have to worry about hygiene behind the scenes, those who work there have to deal with stuff like this.
