Waitresses, what are some dumb things you have heard from your customers?

Question

here's some goofy sh** i've heard; a man ordered one of our largest steaks and asked "do that come wit alotta meat?" another time a girl asked for "an eatin' bucket" (to go box).

Answer 1

I work where you get free bread. SOOOOO many people ask for bread as an appetizer... which i just want to punch them in the face.

One woman was like, I'd like my steak cooked medium rare. So i said that was going to be a warm red center and she said, ohh. No red, I like little pink (Medium Well-Well). So I said, Medium Well is going to have a strip of pink. She interupted and said, NO NO NO, i want it medium rare, but not red.

Someone ask for Sierra Mist, and I said, Sprite okay? They said no and left.

Someone ordered Ribs instead of Prime Rib, and vice versa.

Really, a lot of idiots go out to eat.

Answer 2

When I first started as a waitress one of my customers complained to me that the salad bar looked disgusting...WHILE she was eating her salad!!! If it's nasty WHY are you eating it???  She also complained of other things so i'm wondering why she didn't ask the manager for a refund and leave instead of just hanging around and being a b****. What's wrong with these people???

Answer 3

How about this one:  

Appetizer menu item:  steak tartare,  "And I'll have that well done, ma'am"

Answer 4

Onc i had to work the drive thru and this one guy specifies that his order was "to go"

Answer 5

a customer asked me"do you get free refills"?I said"yes,you get one",then he asked-"how much will that cost"? What a idiot.

Answer 6

I have tons of stories I could tell people, especially because I work with the aftermath of drunks.  I've had a woman order a steak completely rare.  She said that if it didn't bleed everywhere, she didn't want it in her mouth.  I've had people order raw bacon.  I've had people yell at me because we don't have a birthday song.  I've had people order things on the menu and then claim they've told me something else or that they had ordered it a special way-but they really were just too drunk to remember that they didn't tell me.  I have had people who want their main meals immediately when they are taking their last bite of their salad.  I've had people seat themselves, and then ***** because no one gave them menus or drinks immediately.  I've had a woman run into the restroom after her boyfriend (whom she was pissed at) and throw it in the restroom at him, getting food everywhere.  I've had a customer break the door down to the restroom.  I've had customers try to convert me to their religion.  I've had a kid who was 5 years younger than me say "Could I please have the sampler with seasoned fries, ranch, marinera, and your number?"  and I followed it by smacking him on the head with menus.  He's a regular that comes in with his friends, and to this day, they still call me his girlfriend.  I've had a beer distributer guy come in and talk about his s*x life with me.  I watched a guy come out of the restroom that was so drunk, forgot to zip his pants, and had it all hanging out of his zipper...for everyone to see.  I've had a guy pass out onto the floor.  I've had customers try to get free meals after they finished the one that was already given to them.  There are these really annoying people to preach to our restaurant on comment cards every time they come in that we need a whole sugar free line of stuff for diabetics, and they don't understand that it's not our store's choice, it's the corporation's choice.  I've had people ask to put mayo on pancakes instead of butter.  I've watched so many things, that I couldn't even list them all here, but I think you get the picture!

Answer 7

my sister's a waitress, she's been asked "What's guacamole?" multiple times.

also has had customers order a quesidilla (sp) explosion, clearly listed under the salad section, have it arrive at the table and say, "whats that? I don't want it."

Answer 8

I could give you a lot, but the worst one I can think of is when I worked at Sonny's BBQ, where we had lots of All-You-Can-Eat specials and even more lousy cheap tippers.  This big old redneck didn't want to order the AUCE because he was cheap, so after he picked the bones clean he tried to send it back saying it was still bloody and we should give him a brand new plate of food (including sides....)  When we refused because he had EATEN his entire meal, he stormed out without tipping me.  Douchebag!  Lol, there's a lot of weird one's out there, I know..

Answer 9

I worked at an Applebees a few years ago and there was a woman that sat at the bar and had a few drinks before her friends arrived. When everyone finally showed up and they sat at a table, the lady ordered a glass of water. Fifteen minutes later she flagged me down to tell me her water was watered down...o.O

I've always hated people who say "Can I get a uhhh..." and everyone freakin' does it. I actually told someone "We don't serve uhh here."

There are so many others as well, like the person that comes into the restaurant and waits to be seated, but picks the one dirty table in the whole d*mn place.
