On the spectrum of weird orders this is finicky but it’s not world ending.
Why order the English breakfast?
Who the fuck specifies the doneness on hashbrowns?! Do they think potatoes are meat?
It’s “sausages cut in half” that gets me. Like…they can’t just cut them themselves?
One ticket same as the next. Get it done with a smile on your face, it’s called being a professional. Come on man don’t try to revenge post on another sub for karma in a more friendly environment. It’s just imaginary internet points. At least post the picture of the finished dish if you’re gonna whine about the act of service you get paid for.
I get it. They ordered English Breakfast then changed the whole order to be a regular American breakfast. How hard is this for people to understand? People who have never worked in a restaurant are so fucking obvious GYAAHHHHH
Honestly, that’s perfectly fine for me to do. The sausage cut in half is bit of a fuck about, though, assuming it’s lengthwise.
I always have the urge to send tickets like this back with the words “We’re not a build-a-meal, we’re a restaurant!”
I can’t of course, but the urge is there.
I sent through an order once with a note to cut the guests entree up, cooks got super pissy about it (I do not work in a busy restaurant, they have time to do BS requests like this), had to explain to them the dude only had one arm hahaha. they got with the program real quick 🤣🤣
As a cook back in the day this was no bother unless it’s when you have 25 other tickets- then I even hate the option of an all day breakfast. If its quiet the extra effort is enjoyable and you know it makes someones day.
Sausages cut in half? I’m assuming they wanted them cut lengthways before cooking so they get even more thoroughly cremated? Otherwise just cut them your own dam self.
this is a hard one. normally, profoundly members of the no personal chef for $5 community. No one in the professional kitchen should be reasonably expected to deal with requests for substitutions or accommodations longer than one or two items. however, here is a much more complicated case. none of the items asked for are off menu. can a person cut their own pretend hot dogs? yes. are they disrupting the kitchen by asking someone to run a knife across them? no. got to say, here where all the items are on menu items and none of the requests seem crazy, is one of the very rare times when we are on the side of the client
I still don’t understand why people like this leave their house to eat out.
Isn’t English Breakfast something on urban dictionary?
It is!! https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=English%20Breakfast
Brit here: the notion of cheese on a cooked breakfast has horrified me
I’ve seen far worse lol
Lmao “put the fries in the bag” as if any of them have ever worked a day in their life.
I feel like if you’re gonna put 9 mods on a sandwich you shouldn’t be eating at a restaurant
The bad diner breakfast (pun intended)
Why is everyone having such a hard time with split and grilled sausages? It literally only takes a couple extra seconds.
Wait a second. Do y’all think it means those sad little finger thin American breakfast sausages?
Unenglish breakfast.
