I once had a guest sitting at the bar try and get me to put a raw hamburger patty on a bun and serve it to him. I said that I couldn’t do that sir, it has to at least touch a grill for a bit, that I’ll do it rare because I know our beef is good lol.
I had an asshole at that same job ask for extra onions on his burger. So I gave him extra onion. He sends it back, not enough onion. So I put some more onion on there. He sends it back again, still not enough onion. So I took a whole yellow onion, one of the biggest ones out of the bag and sliced a 3 inch SLAB and slapped it on his burger. And I sent the rest of the onion out on a side plate with it lmao.

Just yesterday… “Reuben, no bread, no thousand island, no coleslaw served cold.”
So you want some slimy cold corned beef huh…

Chicken quesadilla no cheese. Was expected to be able to eat it like a normal quesadilla. Didn’t go well and was somehow my fault. This is why no one wants to work in restaurants

“The customer requested Portland Poachies on their Eggs Benedict.”
“What the hell are Portland Poachies?”
“I don’t know, I thought you would since you’re the cook.”

Someone once ordered a salad but they had literally everything that came with it taken out and just wanted a quarter wedge of lettuce with some ranch on it. Like you could just make that yourself at home for 2$ instead of paying 8 for it???

At the hospital I work at: Chicken tinga tacos, add mustard, mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, and raw red onion. I asked if he’d just prefer a grilled chicken sandwich, to which he said – with full sincerity -“aren’t they the same thing?”
Doctors, man.

Had a lady not too long ago say that she was allergic to ALL seasonings, and could not have any dairy or gluten. Steamed some broccolini in a skillet and cooked a plain burger patty in another skillet. Served it on a bed of leaf lettuce and topped with micro greens, she tipped $150! $50 for the server, and the other $100 was split between me and the other cook. A shitty day turned into a great one haha.
Someone ordered a salad the other day and the ticket said “NO pistachios, SEVERE allergy.” I told the server that there’s no possible way that I can guarantee no cross contamination with *anything* from the salad station, especially considering the other people who work that station. She communicated that with the customer, and he ordered a wedge salad instead. I went out to talk to him, he insisted on the wedge salad and said he’d be fine because he had an epi pen. Okay dude… I’ll do my best, but you’ve been warned. He didn’t end up needing it, thank god.

Miracle Whip™ pizza.
A cheese pizza with “chunky vegetable ragu instead of your normal pizza sauce, and American cheese slices instead of mozzarella cheese. And huge blobs of Miracle Whip™ (a big jar at least!) and whole raw pearl onions on top as garnish after it’s done cooking. But not the cocktail kind! Regular pearl onions only! And don’t cook the Miracle Whip™ and onions! Cut it into 24 slices.”

We didn’t have a fish sandwich on the menu.

I worked at a pub style restaurant for 2-3 years and one day when it was slow and we hadn’t had any food orders in a while the ticket printer went off. Ok that’s normal.
I check the ticket and it’s for one ramiken of ranch, and another of mayo. I think that’s really weird, the last order of fries went out like 45 minutes ago. No way there’s any left or they’re still good, but whatever.
I make em and hand em to the bartender and watch as he takes the two cups to a guy sitting at the bar. My eyes widen in horror as I realize he has no food, surely he’s not going to…
Yup, raises them one at a time to his mouth and clears em out with his tongue. Yes I live in the Midwest.

Omelet: egg whites, chicken, steak, mushrooms, onions, swiss and cheddar cheese, SLICED BANANAS, GLAZED STRAWBERRIES, and spinach. I told the server to make sure they name the baby after me. Idk if there was a baby, but.. there had to be, right?

Lady came in and ordered her steak very very very very very (5*very) well done. I let it sit on the coolest corner of the grilll after making pretty grill marks and just left it until all the juices were gone and sent it out with deep regrets.. The lady later asked to speak to me, said her steak was cooked absolutely perfectly, and gave me a whole dollar tip.
meseta
Table wanted a steak done, like done done. This lady was very adamant about it being like as well done as it possibly could be. Burnt, most likely. Said do what I need to do. So I butterflied her steak and put it in the center with 3 heavy weights and forgot about it for ten minutes. Sold it when the other food came up and there was no way in hell that thing was edible. Pitch black on one side and brown on the other. But we were busy as hell so fuck it.
Twenty minutes later her server came back asking for me and told me the lady wanted to talk to me and that she had $10 in her hand. I was so confused.
She tipped me for the best steak she’s ever had, and then asked if I’d like to date her daughter.
