😂this is too funny, I work as a bartender, and tonight, I had a lady sent back her drink, because "it tasted like alcohol, and I need to make it not taste like alcohol" she ordered a vodka martini, i asked if she like to try something else because vodka martini should taste like alcohol, her exact reply was " I am on keto, I can't drink any juice or soda, I need you to make this vodka martini not taste like alcohol", so I remade her "martini" with 3 oz of water and half oz of vodka, and still charged her full price😂.
Two questions, just for the fun:
"Not tasting like" equals "not containing the forbidden item in the diet"?
Do they think you are a wizard, able to change the basic taste of BOTH ingredients of a two ingredients mix?
@@estrafalario5612 I think the issue was she was used to fruity alcoholic drinks that she could no longer have on keto. I would instead have suggested a Jack and Coke Zero or an Irish Coffee with Splenda and cream
@@redjoker365That's exactly what I do, except I get a diet and Fireball. Cinnamon Coke is delicious
@@cc_snipergirldon’t know if you’re doing keto but do be aware fireball does have added sugars
@@bradyblankenship9182 I'm not, but I figure if I'm going to have it anyway, diet is probably at least marginally better than doing it with a full sugar soda. Any alcohol is going to have sugar in it just because that's how it's made. Appreciate it though :)
I worked in a nursing home kitchen for awhile. I actually had a health department inspector tell me that eggs were dairy... the reasoning, they're found in the same area of the store as milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.
Pondering the wealth of knowledge this "expert" had, I looked this person in the eye and asked, "eggs come from chickens, right?" Of course the "expert" agreed with that statement.
As somebody that has grown up around dairies and farms, the next question I asked the "expert" was ... ... ... "Can you show me how to milk a chicken?"
Well, I guess he figured people milk almonds and soy beans now, so why not chickens? Lol.
🤣
😅
Priceless
Zum Mäusemelken...
(German expression you say when something is futile or irritating, literally means something like "It's like milking mice")
"We lost you as a customer? What a terrible tragedy." I love when bad customers self select themselves elsewhere. I never argue.
Same as a dealer, when an annoying player "threatens" to go to another table or casino and I'm just like "Promise?!" tokes are pooled anyway jackass.
It's like the trash took itself out
And a week or two later they are back.
43 years as a chef.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the stupid things people say and ask for.
Now that you teased it, i want to hear the stories. Either post them here or start your own channel!
@@antonnurwald5700
So, I want a Ferrari, but I don’t have one.
Everyone should work in customer service at least once...very eye opening
Agreed!
Definitely! Some people have no clue how absolutely insufferable or ignorant they are then try to make it someone else's fault. If they had to deal with that for just a few months maybe it could act as a mirror.
Best one i got was, "I'm allergic to fromage, so would it be possible to substitute extra cheese instead?" For those that dont know, fromage is just the French word for cheese.
This brings back a memory from high school French class. Everyone was talking about their favorite fruit juices - jus d'orange, jus de pomme (apple), and so on. Then this one kid piped up with jus du fromage and everyone just stared at each other until someone started laughing, realizing it was cheese juice! I guess that would be whey?
Some people don't fully understand what an allergy is. I have heard many people say "I'm allergic to that" as a synonym for "I really don't like that". I think this partly has to do with the fact allergies are taken more seriously as a child than just saying you want something removed. For example, I was a very fussy 5 year old. I would refuse to eat any tomatoes. But often waiters just wouldn't care when you tell them that a 5 year old doesn't want tomatoes and they would still bring them out like 40% of the time. So my parents just started saying I was allergic to them at restaurants and suddenly that 40% went down to 0% really quickly.
@@mattbenz99 that's an interesting point! I wonder if someday allergic will literally mean not liking something, due to people using it that way?
@@EdKolis
It could, language evolves over time. But we will need to create a new word for allergy if that is the case.
@@EdKolismy brother tells people he is allergic to chocolate. Cuz him saying that doesn't cause an argument like when he says he doesn't like chocolate.
Working as a waitress during college, a tourist was freaking out trying to accuse my colleague of poisoning her. Her beer was "way too strong". She was adamant that he must've put something in it.
Problem with that theory:
- she got bottled beer
- we serve bottled beverages unopened and only open it at the table per request (openers are part of the tableware besides salt and pepper)
Her husband opened the bottle for her. That waiter couldn't have done anything to the beer .
Turned out American tourists expect every beer in the world to have the same small percentage of alcohol as Bud light.
Bud light
First of all Bud Light has 4.2% alcohol. Second, most Americans don't drink that swill. Third, way to smash a whole, huge, country of very diverse people into your ignorant stereotype.
@@TheImprovised Tell the majority of those of you that venture out of your country to behave in a civilized manner and we can talk again. I've seen the embodiment of the American tourist stereotypes way too often. Much as I have seen the German tourist stereotypes as well. Typical tourist culture in itself is shitty. Americans just tend to be more obnoxious about it.
I'm really curious if beer from other countries actually tastes good.
Because every beer I've had is disgusting, and with such low alcohol content I don't know why I would suffer through it.
@@kamikeserpentail3778 We have over 7500 different beer brands here in Germany. I've tasted some really good ones. But even the bad ones are better than most American brands I had the misfortune to drink. Maybe you have got some good breweries, but the big ones like Bud are simply piss water.
😂
I work in retail and it’s kinda the same. But when someone says I will never shop in your store again I breathe a great sigh of relief. Unfortunately they do come back…
I worked at Walmart 20 years ago, and GameStop 15 years ago. At both those places, if someone said they were never coming back, we had to give them what they wanted. You know, 'cause places like Walmart would close down if one person wouldn't shop there again.
In the Netherlands a customer once said "I'm never coming back here!!!".
The entire staff yelled: "Is that a promise?" and laughed.
@@williamgeardener2509 Good for them! That's a great reply. My dad would have probably said his usual, "is that a threat or a promise?".
I was a waiter for 3 months in 1986. I just couldn't take the stupidity and sense of entitlement. I cannot imagine now.
They really do come back 😂 I was always nice enough to pretend as if I meet them 1st time
I made a carstop once for failing to signal on turn. The female driver actually said, " but officer, I make this turn everyday so people should know by now".
This is a perfect example why "but I/we always do it like that" is a bullshit reason do justify anything 😂
Ffs
Onionless onion soup? Shall I write that down with my inkless ink pen?
Beef broth with cheese
@@cc_snipergirl Yep and a couple of croutons for shits and giggles.
I would take onionless onion soup as a drink, it’s basically just salt and peoper hot water
Try clam chowder without the clams... seafood restaurants are the worst...
Maybe he wanted to get drunk while eating a wet grilled cheese
You're right. Separating the spinach isn't that hard. I'll bring those mixed greens before your meal so you can take care of it.
Just like when I worked in the sign making industry. $40 to grab a ladder and hang up a banner? But it's so simple! Great, if it's so simple you can do it yourself and save the money.
I am willing to bet that every person that works in a restaurant is laughing uncontrollably over these skits
Many probably have additions to this.
I feel at peace watching these
I'm sure they do. I used to work at a deli in a market and i got dumb questions or complaints all the time so seeing these restaurant ones makes me laugh so hard because i know how true it is. I've had someone look at the chicken in the case and ask if its boneless when you can see it has bones. Or someone confused that i called them wings because "they are little legs". I can only imagine how bad it is at a restaurant that has more options 😂
Oh these weren't real oh thank goodness I thought they were just this stupid
@@MelB868 oh, these really happened. He just recreated them for our amusement
I was a waitress when I was a student. Once they asked me for a milk-free coffee latte. I said latte means milk in Italian. I asked if he wanted espresso or americano. He insisted that he wanted a milk-free latte. We made an Americano.
So true it happened to me all the time❤some times it's the same customer ❤
NOTE: These are all Trump voters, you can tell by the IQ level.
Latte with non dairy milk?
@@mattlord97Soy milk or other plant based milk. Is prob what he wanted.
Latte withoatmilk
I was responsible for office supplies. Among the orders were "that pen I like", "the good stapler" or no amount mentioned (when asked how much to send the response was "I don't know").
Sounds like something my niece was say because she's not an adult
I do get the good stapler 😂. And i suspect you probably knew witch ones could not be that?
@@JeroenJA Yeh. But they had to ask it by model or at least brand name (four times the price). If it matters so much, they should put the effort.
@@einat1622they think that's your, of course.
@@cremebrulee4759 Well, they didn't get it if they didn't answer 😆
I got all those beat - it was my shift on the carvery deck,, two women came up, the first one asked for turkey, but she asked for the under-breast because she is vegan,, I thought I misheard her, I asked her again and I heard correct,, I was carefully choosing my next words, I explained that this is a real turkey, she said 'I know, but the under-breast isn't as bad as the top breast... Her friend was laughing pretty hard, so I cut the breast and proceeded to ask her friend what she would like,, she said turkey, I replied 'would you like the vegan part or the normal part?'
I..... what??
I wonder if the friend ever told her 😂
Some people are too dumb to understand what "vegan" means. They just think it's a way of dieting where you consume fewer calories.
@@Bmac7961the friend is probably so used to it, she just lets her think she's vegan
That's amazing. I would be curious to know what her definition of vegan is. I would also like her to show me where the under breast part of the turkey.
Nazi-vegan friend of mine came to school with a ham sandwich.
Astonished, we asked her if she knew what she was eating was ham.
- Yes, so?
+ Aren't you vegan?!
- Yes, so what?!
It was a vet nurse school.
We had to explain ham is actually part of an animal.
I love it when they threaten you with “you have lost a customer”. Like oh no, how will we ever survive without you? You were our entire business plan noooooo.
Early this year I had a guy come in shortly before close and order our meat pizza. Pepperoni (ours was a combination of beef and pork), ham, bacon, ground beef and pickled onion. Make it and send it out. About a minute later, the server brings it back untouched, and the man wants to speak to me.
I go out to his table, and he immediately flies into a rant about being Jewish and unable to eat pork, and how dare we try to serve it to him. Despite A) us having no way of knowing he was Jewish and B) having no reason to assume as much given that he's purposely choosing to order something with two ingredients that are for sure pork, and a third that has a generally high chance of having some mixed in. I apologize for it, despite it clearly being his fault, and ask if there's anything else we can get for him instead. He says he doesnt have the time to wait for a new pizza, and demands that I comp his beers instead.
Why would a man whose religion prohibits the consumption of pork purposely order a pizza with a bunch of pork products on it you ask? Well, I think I just put two and two together.
Naturally, I refuse. So he starts throwing a fit, yelling and knocking chairs over, calling me a racist, the works. So I go behind the bar, grab the phone and call security (our bar is in a mall parking lot, so we have access to the mall's security), at which point he books it out the door without paying his tab (which is pretty low all things considered since our house beer is only $4CAD/$2.95USD, and he'd only had 3).
I go across to the bar across the street after my shift cause they're open two hours later than us, and tell them the story, figuring they'd get a laugh out of it. Turns out that he had also tried the same thing with them just half an hour before I arrived.
They caught onto his ploy too, but gave him the chance to pay his bill before escalating to calling the police, which he did and then promptly left.
As for the final kicker? One of the customers in the second bar was acquainted with the man. Their wives were part of a same social group. The man? Turns out he's not actually Jewish. Made the whole thing up in an attempt to get free beers. Needless to say, his wife was none too happy to hear about his evening and brought him back the next day to make him pay his tab and apologize. We ended up banning him for a month, but he's been in a few times since and luckily hasnt done anything similar, so I think he's learned his lesson.
Wow. Great re-telling.
I don't know where people get the time and energy to play these games...
Every time I feel like opening a bar or a restaurant, someone reminds me that, no, I don't. lol
I knew he couldn't have been Jewish because when a Jew keeps kosher, it means you cant have any meat out at a non-kosher restaurant. So he couldn't even have the ground beef
@@mmoney416, wouldn’t he not have been able to have a meat pizza anyway? Isn’t there a rule against mixing meat and dairy?
@ItsJustLisa That's true too. One way to get around this is to order a cheeseless pizza with meat which he could have done (it still wouldn't be kosher)
After 30 years in food service i can say that this was true yet pretty mild to some requests I've heard.
My daughter is the GM of a restaurant. She had a woman losing her mind after she ordered a T BONE steak then screaming bloody murder that her steak had a bone in it. She was refusing to pay for it. So my daughter walked up and told her she was paying for it because she had eaten the whole steak and if she didn't want a bone in it she shouldn't have ORDERED A T BONE STEAK! The name of it should have given her the hint. Her husband had been sitting there the whole time and looked up from his meal and said well she got you there lol.
Sad thing is these people don't know how to cook or prepare a meal of any kind. And are totally dependent on going to restaurants.
@@stephenm8100YEP
My personal favourite was “I’d like a 8 piece chicken bucket but I’m allergic to wing pieces” yes, everyone is allergic to different portions of the same birds. And the guy who asked for a Big Mac, every week (this is a K fry sir, what you want is across the street)
I had someone in the drive thru ask for a Big Mac... I was working at a Hardees. Close, but no prize
We have people become irate over the dark or light side of a flounder. They somehow believe one side of the same fish tastes different from the other. 😂😂
I dated someone who insisted when I went to Burger King to pick up some hamburgers that I order his "well done". I told him that all burgers were cooked well done, but he assured me that he ordered his well done, and they cooked his to order.. At Burger King I confirmed that they give everyone the same burgers, regardless of how they order it. When I got back to his apartment, he quizzed me to make sure that I got his order right, which I assured him that I did. He said that he could tell his was well done. I just laughed to myself. A burger cooked any more than they normally cook them would be close to charcoal.
@@cremebrulee4759You rnt having kids are you you?
These are spot on!! Waitressed for years. A father ordered red wine for their teenager. I told him he had to be 21. No, we’re German so he can drink. No, it’s against the law here. Father became belligerent. They tried to sneak him wine after that. Manager took over that mess.
Really, a father is stopped by law to give his son some of their purchased wine? The land of the free y'all.
Noting the fact you obviously weren’t in Germany. Some folks forget that it isn’t the drinker who gets the short end of the local law here. The business ends up taking the lions share of the backlash. 😑
@@happydoots382thank you! You’re correct. The business and as the server I could have received a hefty fine. Not worth it.
@@QueenOfDarknes5The workers dont make up the rules they should've stayed in Germany if they wanted to do that.
@@bree554 Never said the workers are at fault.
Okay but the fact that people like this exist is the literal reason I won’t work in the restaurant industry
On the other hand, you always have stories to tell. You learn a lot about life. And you have an idea of the wide range of absurdity of life.
Of course, it’s not possible, if you have a short temper.
I love how the waiter in almost every situation was trying so hard to find a polite way of answering the stupid questions. Waiters in real life, you have the patience of saints.
It’s mostly us being stunned by the level of confidence after the comment. Then we immediately understand that it’s not worth getting involved. Just let them be happy in their ignorance. Our peace of mind is more important.
I worked in the big box deli once. Once. Yea, the regulars were the worst. One guy wanted us to make him 6 lbs of coleslaw every day. Right in front of him. It had to be weighed exactly. He didn't own a restaurant. He told me it was for his kidney disease. Another came in every day and tried to get me to pick out the biggest fried shrimp out of the batch, just for him ('cause he's special). Honorable mention goes to the scooter brigade. Right when we opened. They'd show up and demand lots of free samples, so they could get "free" breakfast or lunch.
"You just lost a customer!"
"Is that a promise?"
so folks, this is why your server may not have the best attitude when they come to you. they've been dealing with this all day
True, True….
That's no excuse to have an attitude with a new customer. You don't take your frustrations of an idiot out on innocent people.
@@TheImprovised it's not an excuse. It's an explanation
Long time server here.
One time a guy told me he was allergic to onions and didn't want any on his fajitas. He was on his 3rd serving of salsa at that point.
😮😂
My current kitchen has Creme Brulé and the amount of people that complain about it being cold is mind blowing...
They’ve probably only had the premade ones that you cook in your oven
@@evilsharkey8954
All crème brûlée is “premade”
It’s a custard
Cooled to room temp and then refrigerated till chilled and kept chilled until it’s ordered
Sugared and torched to order
Warming through is an option though it’s generally served cold
But you're supposed to caramelise the top with burnt sugar just before it's served.
@@secretsquirrel7374
You put a light coating of sugar on top of the custard and melt/caramelize it with a torch or very hot broiler- garnish and serve
Generally the process is quick and the custard stays cold/cool
ALL custard’s are premade ie - cooked/ cooled/ chilled though they can be warmed gently to a point after they have cooled just before being served
They have to cool to “set”
tableside flambé is cold. ma'am you just saw that it was literally on fire.
So funny! There should absolutely be a "retail" version of this.
Just look in the back, I'm sure you'll find it.
100% accurate !
The amount of dumb things you hear from customers in the food industry is enough to make feel like your brain is melting and what is left of your soul is leaving your body
“But you should know eggs are also not dairy”
“WHAT”
Hahahahahahhaaha hahahah
"I'll have the Cashew Chicken with no Cashews" -- overheard tonight while picking up my order in the neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Without skipping a beat she replied "Sure. No problem." I love the lady that runs that restaurant. . .
I admit, I have done something similar because I loved everything that the dish came with except for the main accompanying ingredient. 😂 It was the easiest and fastest way to order what I wanted without having to list all the other ingredients. But I prefaced it with, "This is gonna sound really stupid, but may I get the...."
Oh man, that felt so real. Reminds me of the time I worked at a movie theater and a customer complained the gunshots were too loud in the film and I needed to lower the volume... he was watching John Wick 3.
Oh. My. Goodness. Maybe he wasn’t aware of the action IN EVERY SINGLE JOHN WICK MOVIE?!? 😂
@@BruinPhD2009 The three in the title didn't mean much to him. Lol
Tell him you'll change the sound to match reality, then turn it louder. Guy has never been to a gun range, apparently.
To be fair he could be right.
I was once in a theater and the sound was so loud it hurt my ears
@oddeda Same here. I once complained about the sound level at a movie theater. It hurt to listen to. It was a kid's movie, and I got worried for my kids hearing (tinnitus). Some of you might call me a Karen, but I'm always polite and respectful. That doesn't mean that I don't stand my ground, though, because I do if it's important.
As a waiter myself I’ve had so many like that it honestly doesn’t surprise me to hear that
seriously I wouldn't have believed that some people think eggs are dairy, except I've been seeing it on a few different videos now.
I thought they were dairy, when I was a child. Then I grew up.
OMG as a former Waitress and Bartender these just hit me in the feels. So dang true hahaha!
😅😅😅😅 I still laugh about the guy who asked me for a Miller Lite on the rocks!
I worked as a waitress decades ago and I didn't get anything like this. In those days, you got what was on the menu and you liked it.
@@ssw7282Sorry, but if I’m paying $25-$50 for a meal, I sure the hell should be able to get some minor modifications.
Customer: "This tea is just leaf juice!"
Zuko from ATLA: "That's what all tea is!"
😂😂😂 he's not wrong!
"That's rough, buddy."
How could my own grandson say something so horrible?
this brings back memories to when I worked in food service and a mother asked me for "Non-GMO Water" for her children
.... I don't even know what that is
Neither she knew.
It's another of such things that you can name but has no real-life meaning, because the other option that she was trying to avoid can't exist. By definition.
Like ordering "low-calories" water, or "vegetarian" white rice, "pork free" kebab, "Spanish" paella, etc
That's the same type of person who saw "gluten-free" start showing up on menus and assumed it was a new fad diet to try without bothering find out what it was
@@estrafalario5612Non-GMO has a meaning, but she clearly doesn’t know what it is, since all water is non-GMO unless it’s in a laboratory culture of modified bacteria, which no sane person drinks.
Non-GMO water is either dry water, or water that doesn't contain dihydrogen monoxide.
(Dry water is a real thing)
@@jovetj😉😊
Once I had one of my servers bringing me an order for rare Chicken. Obviously I refused to cook it for health and safety reasons. So the lady wanted to directly talk to me. As I explained her that Chicken can’t be consumed raw, we get a nice lengthy review next day accusing how the chef was trying to “mansplain” to her. I didn’t even know what that meant at that time as I’m not English 😂
I believe that Idiocracy is becoming more of our society. This is panful to watch.
Very painful, I agree
Try reading 'Drinking Saphire Wine' by Tanith Lee, our society mimics that book to a tee!! Seemingly scary prophetic 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
That last one I've heard before. It still has the power to stop me for a second, though. "I don't have time to wait around for a whole new steak. Just take this back and recook it to the right temperature."
Umm...what?!?
Yes go uncook it
Everything they learned about cooking came from hairdressers in video games.
Back in the 1970s there was a well known chef in the UK who had 0 tolerance for idiots. He would throw people out of his restaurant if they asked for salt, pepper or tomato or brown sauce. We need him back today
You want PEPPER?! One of the most common seasonings in the world?! Something that people like different amounts of on their food and will season accordingly to their own taste?! Get out of my restaurant you idiot!
I suppose that you consider asking for more salt to be an insult to the cook.
During hot weather, we sweat out electrolytes (sodium, chloride, etc.). Our activity and other factors determine how much we sweat out.
During hot weather when I am lower in sodium, food tastes blander to me because of needing more sodium. So during hot weather, I must add more salt to my food.
Needing more salt isn't an insult to the cook. The cook can't be expected to know the electrolytes needed by each customer.
Salt isn't poisonous either. A good book to read on this is "The Salt Fix" by Dr. James DiNicolantonio, PharmD.
@@invisiblehands4000 , I like your pun! 😂😂😂😂
@@invisiblehands4000 , angry and confused? What is angry about explaining why needing salt isn't an insult to the cook? What is confusing about the way I constructed my sentences?
Hmm. Maybe it's my phrase "I suppose that you consider". Maybe I should have turned it into a question?
@@invisiblehands4000 , ah, so that is what you find offensive. I posted that because of what someone else wrote. Then, that someone else deleted their post. So, I deleted my post to that someone's post.
You ended up thinking that my post to the other person was meant for you or for the person who originated this thread.
"No ma'am we do not carry locally grown pineapple, we live in Ohio."

"Yeah, I'll have the porterhouse, well done. No pink, but still nice and juicy."
Or, "There's no liquor in my Long Island."
Or, "Do you have wing dings?" The first time I was asked this question, I responded "I don't know what that is. So, no." The second time I was asked a while later by a different customer, I simply responded "No."
Or parents who allow their young children to hold the entire table hostage while deciding if they want chicken fingers, mac & cheese, or a mini pizza.
I could go on for hours.
I didn't get the Long Island thing. Aren't they supposed to be with liquor (alcohol)?
@@elisaa9981 It's 4 shots of liquor. It's all alcohol. But it doesn't taste like it.
As a waiter from 2007-2010 if someone wanted ranch or a steak cooked higher than medium, there isn't a good tip coming.
"Take this back and cook it to the right temperature,"

😂
Does she realize the bacon isn’t facon?
@@evilsharkey8954 she does. she's not vegetarian. except to humor me.
Impossible Whoppers aren’t even listed as vegan or vegetarian since they are cooked on the same flame griller as the beef.

I love this channel because it always reminds me of how many stupid people there are in the world.

“Do you mill your own wheat?” We’re a coffee shop
“Why? Do you prefer your muffins dense and gritty?”
I've had some of these conversations, and once had a customer claim they were allergic to white onions, so they wanted to substitute them.
For red onions.
It reminds me of whe i was in highschool helping the FFA with their petting zoo they were hosting for inner city children. When brought to the cow my instructor asked the kids and their chaperones "where does chocolate milk come from?" And the amount of kids who said brown cows was expected but what i didnt expect was 5 of the 7 or so teacher/ chaparones there thought the same
If a waiter came back to tell us to separate the salad greens during a rush, they may not make it out of the kitchen alive.🤔🤔🤔
Im having cramps in my stomach laughing hard. This is freakin hilarious 😂
the expressions are priceless
Had a coworker once that legitimately didn't know that banana nut bread had banana in it.
What did they think was in it?
It's obviously made from banananuts, whatever those might be.
For the longest time, I ate crab rangoon from Chinese restaurants, as a vegetarian at the time, because I thought it got its name from being shaped like a crab, not from containing crab meat!
My favorite one I've seen is "Does this peanut butter ice cream have peanuts in it?"
Most things these days are artificial, like a lot of “vanillin”, “fruit” in pop tarts, etc.
@@johnp139 I've never seen artificial peanut butter flavor though.
I work in a restaurant and its main feature is the chargrilled meats, the amount of people that complain about them being burnt with funny lines on them, or ordering a half rotisserie chicken and moaning its not boneless then demanding boneless rotisserie chicken breast only..
We also once had a customer go mental because one of our servers was pregnant and had peircings
My hubby would love your place. Only chargrilled meats for him, the more "char" the better. And bones in chicken? He loves to strip everything morsel off those bones, and will even eat the ends if he can.
“Can you make the French onion soup without onions?”
So you want French soup?
Next time I’m in a restaurant, I’m going to order pork wings.
That's just going to create a new skit
But I went to Cincinnati and they have a flying pig marathon! How do you think they fly, jetpacks?
When I was a student and worked at McDonald's I had a guy order a cheeseburger without cheese, so i said ok one Hamburger then , he insisted that they're not the same thing and insisted on a cheeseburger without cheese. I gave him a hamburger.
Regarding the ranch bit... while I know that most ranch has buttermilk (not vegan), sour cream (not vegan), and mayonnaise (not vegan), there are vegan versions that use the ranch flavorings (onion powder, garlic powder, dill, chives, parsley, salt, pepper) with a vegan base, whatever that might be.
But MOST are NOT vegan, so they should have asked if they HAD vegan ranch!
@@johnp139 of course. And the server could have said, "We don't have vegan ranch," too. Lots of possibilities.
This one bit out of the whole video just struck me as not necessarily as unreasonable as a lot of the other ones.
Of note, shellfish and seafood allergies are different. Shellfish specific allergies can be cockroach allergies that cross react with shrimp, crab, lobster and a few other related species, while seafood allergies include everything from the ocean. Shellfish allergies don’t necessarily include things like scallops, clams or octopus. That said, if you have a shellfish allergy, most seafood without specific listing of types is still a risk.
Been following you on IG and glad to see your videos here. the star of the show is your look of incredulity!
Yes!! The vegan asking for ranch!! That shit cracked me up so hard! I know people who've done this while ordering! It was so awkward and embarrassing lol..
I was like "I thought vegans done eat ranch??"
Her response??
"It's my cheat day." Uhh okay..
I loved this. Subscribed ❤😂
To be fair, not all sushi contains raw ingredients. "Sushi" is NOT raw fish. "Sashimi" is raw fish. "Sushi" pertains to the rice used in sushi rolls. You can get a sushi roll in which all ingredients are cooked, or the fish is cook and it has raw vegetables.
But Sushi includes varieties with raw fish. And outside of Japan what not-experts expect of Sushi is raw fish and/or vegetables.
It's like ordering "a burguer" without any other comments and then complaint because it isn't a chicken burger or a vegetarian one...yes, they exist, but they are far from been the default thing that comes to mind
@@estrafalario5612 Doesn't matter. I'm not an expert and I know. It is what it is, and some sushi has no raw fish. Also, the server should know what sushi is.
The term sushi refers to the rice and its preparation. And when topped with fish -- raw or otherwise, technically it is nigiri. But common usage is sushi. Sashimi is simply sushi or nigiri without the rice, raw or cooked. (As in, the eel is always cooked).
.... Veggies can replace fish on sushi of course.
Sushi is used as an umbrella term for everything Maki, Sashimi, Nigiri, etc.
If people say they want sushi, they don't just mean a hand full of rice. The definition you can Google and every restaurant serving states, that it is the vinegared rice with something else on/in it. If you want to take it literal then yes it's "sour tasting" named after the rice but the sushi rice as it's own also has two names you can refer to it "Sumeshi" and "Shari". The first the most literal meaning "vinegared rice".
Sashimi also doesn't really mean the dish, but the method of preparation and it can be done with other seafood.
Tell me something new… they leave you speechless. My place we have a cheese breakfast made of three different kind of cheese, with a little bit of butter and jam. Guess what one customer ordered? Yeah, the cheese breakfast. But without the cheese
- A salad. No rocket. No onions. No egg. No carrot. No peppers. No sweetcorn. No colaslaw. No tomatoes. No cucumber. No dressing.
+ Should I just bring a leaf of lettuce sir?
@@Uapa500I wouldn't want a rocket in my salad either!
I got one time an order with a fish goujons, egg allergy.
After talking with some managers, they told me that the costumer didn't care about, he just wanted that dish so I served it anyways like they told me🤷
😅 YOLO
I’ve worked food industry for 16 years. lol this reminded me of my entire time working food. XD
I swear.. every time I regain my faith in humanity, I immediately lose it😂
I was a server and it was literally the worst job I ever had. I worked as a bartender, prep cook, line cook and front of the house was by far the worst. You couldn’t pay me enough to work in a restaurant again.
Damn, this guy is just so charismatic and personable, I can't stop watching.🤣
Next ! They'll ask for 'milk free' dairy ! 😂😂😂
Anybody who has ever worked in a restaurant just developed a facial tick watching this...
20 years as a diner cook. Swear it gave me ptsd lol. The lesson I learned is that if "the customer is always right" you'll be broke before you know it..... We boarded up shop in March of 2020.... Covid has a fix, stupidity apparently does not.
Fortunately the costumer is only always right “in the matter of taste” people have cut that saying short. 🤦♀️
I like to tip a little extra when I go out (25-30%) to try to counterbalance galactic stupidity and cheapskates.
Same, actually.
Edit: Nice to hear other people do this too.
Much needed.
I actually waited on someone who didn't want onions in her onion soup. No cheese or croutons either.
Here's your bowl of beef broth.
UK here - how do people like these manage to make a reasonable living and get someone to live with them for several decades?
People that avoid certain foods don't always research what foods to avoid. I use to serve biscuits to people who don't eat pork. Most biscuits are made with lard. Lard is a pork product.
Lard is also not a bad food to eat. Same goes for butter. We have been lied to.
For me, I wouldn't have known that. I can't eat pork and live in a place where that's a norm. We don't use lard in anything here, so I wouldn't expect there to be lard in a biscuit
At this point restaurants should just put Eat It or Starve on their menus 😂
I love to cook, but man, there is no way I could put up with the level of stupid in that environment. So I just content myself with going all out for family and friends.
"I'm a vegetarian can I get the fish please"
Me, "Fish is a type of meat did you mean pescatarian?"
"No what does region have to do with my order."
I should be laughing but i am crying at the same time 'cause i work in gastronomy and YES. To everything. 😭😂😭
It concerns me how many people think eggs are dairy!!…
The dairy eggplant guy was so dumb it circled back to smart. Some chefs do soak eggplants in milk but he wouldn’t have known that.
My wife's first restaurant job she was horrified to learn the homemade clam chowder was a brick of concentrate and a gallon of milk. The ratatouille was yesterday s vegetable of the day and tomato sauce.
OF COURSE I came immediately to the comments! It's been years since I've worked in a restaurant or bar, but I'll never forget the idiots! This video made me laugh like crazy!
Again, I say! Where did he think shrimp lived???!!!
Usually I am the one explaining to the server that I cannot have seafood and shellfish. Some know, but many don't and I'd rather be safe.
Actually shrimp grow on trees
This is accurate. I have had people demand all kinds of crazy shit. Like stuffed cabbages with no cabbage.
I must be going crazy because that first one actually made sense. Two eggs with eggwhites only prepared as you would sunny side up. Meaning don't flip them.
Right, you separate the whites and cook them on a griddle. Pretty straightforward. Probably be better described as just fried egg whites.
I was in a restaurant with other members of my work team, and one said, "I want the chicken parmesan but I'm allergic to cheese, can you make it without it?" Another said, "I would like the Thai hot wings appetiser, but I don't like spices." The third said, "The chicken and vegetables braised in white wine looks good, but I'm diabetic, can you make it without the wine?" I told the wait person, "I'll have the chicken marsala, and exactly as described in the menu, no special requests." She called over other members of the wait staff to cheer, and gave me a 50% discount.
My Tante Varvare taught me several important life lessons:
Always be polite to the people who handle your food.
When someone brings you food, you say "Thank you" and be grateful.
I told this story to a friend who worked for a while in the kitchen of a very expensive restaurant, and she assured me, "You don't want to know how the staff may take revenge on a difficult customer."
Well, the one about being diabetic is fair enough, but the others must have left them scratching their heads!
r/thathappened. And then the entire restaurant including the customers, gave you a standing ovation and the manager gave you a free bottle of wine and comped your meal. 😂
If they take revenge on a shitty customer then they can be jailed.
Don't be a fuckwit to people who make your food, but also never fuck with people's food.
@@kamikeserpentail3778Agreed. Too many people have "pooped in the pool" so real allergies and health concerns aren't taken as seriously as they should be. Remember that scene in Mrs. Doubtfire with the pepper? It happens in real life, too.
Customer orders steak well done. "It's chewy!"
Recently, I asked a grocery stockboy where's the tea bags. He said he doesn't know what a teabag is and to ask the store manager.
I was in a small grocery store in MN. No one had heard of chille. The lady asked if it was the same thing as spaghetti sauce. They did have aebleskiver, and lutefisk though. (I've smelled lutefisk cooking, it's gross)
Future executive.
Maybe he was confused regarding "teabags versus teabagging". The latter not in the grocery store!
Just the bags or tea already IN teabags?
My brother in law is "allergic" to tomatoes, they make him break out.
His go to condiment? Ketchup.
He also enjoys eating salsa and spaghetti.
I stopped trying to explain over a decade ago. Never seen him have a reaction.
Some people have a reaction to raw tomatoes, but when they're cooked, as in ketchup, they're fine. But yes, salsa isn't always cooked, at least home made.
@@tanikokishimoto1604same with pineapples. I get little hurtful red bumps on my tongue eating raw pineapple but cooked on pizza or pork chops, no problems! It's the acid (enzyme) in the raw state.
@@asmrmaroxa, it's actually an enzyme. Heat denatures it.
@@bcaye thank you. Added that to my comment!
Most of the time, it's picky people not wanting to admit they're picky so they pretend like they're allergic. Not always, but quite often.
I'm pretty sure the tea woman is asking for sugar
