Random Restaurant Staff Describe the Worst Customer They've Ever Served (18 items)

• (#11) Friendly Patron Turns Out to Be a Sociopath

  "Seven top. Table gets excellent service. $140 bill or so. Person paying check is friendly and all smiles. Tips $0. Waits at the door to see the sad dejected look on the waitress's face as she looks at the receipt and gives a Hannibal Lector smile.

  "You could just tell he derived pleasure from her pain."
• (#12) Angry Customer Storms Into the Kitchen

  "Some customer came into the f*cking kitchen and starts yelling at the waitress, full-on, no holds barred, yelling in her face. He and his table full of other c*nts have all ordered spiced ribs, chalupa seafood baskets, T-bones, and ribeyes. As a cook, the more advanced the meal, the more I love to cook it. You come into the restaurant and order the fanciest, most gourmet thing on the meal, and I love to do it. That's why I'm there. I like to hone my skills, and I like people to appreciate them.

  "What you don't f*cking do is come into the kitchen mid-peak on a Saturday night because your food is 40 minutes late. There are 85 other people waiting to eat before you. You came out tonight to have a good time and eat - I get that. It's sh*tty seeing other people get their food before you - I get that. They ordered a f*cking cheese dip though, that we heat in the microwave, which costs $6. Sorry that it's easier to make than the high-menu sh*t you're ordering, you p*ss-sucking sack of f*cks. That is no reason to call a perfectly innocent teenage girl a stupid wh*re in the highest angriest voice you can muster.

  "My chef, a typical alcoholic Gordon-Ramsay-type, f*cking flips his sh*t and lobs a plate onto the floor, smashing it as ceramic shards and nacho remnants scatter and explode everywhere. He starts taking steps towards the guy. "Who do you think you are?! This is my kitchen, and we are making your food!"

  "This angry d*ckf*ck of a guy has backed down, and the upstairs manager is coming downstairs scared out of his mind because no one wants to f*ck with the chef. He and I are in each other's good books, but he is one scary c*nt. Because I'm a male, and punch-ups beat cooking, I started following behind him as he approaches the other dude. He very quietly sat back down and tipped generously apparently, which is awesome because I'm in Australia, and you aren't even really supposed to tip here."
• (#17) Lady Tries to Get a Free Cheeseburger

  "I once had a family of four come in: a wife, husband, and two kids. The wife ordered a cheeseburger.

  "Everything seemed to be going well. I asked if they like their food and if there was anything I could get for them; they said everything was fine. The wife finished her burger and got my manager. She told her that the burger was absolutely horrible and wanted a refund for the whole meal. My manager almost laughed at her and told her if she hadn't finished the burger and had said something at the beginning, she would have gladly gotten her another burger. However, there was no way she was getting a meal for four for free nor was she getting hers for free because she, at first, told me she liked it."
• (#3) Racist Customer Makes Waitress Cry

  "We had a waitress run into the kitchen bawling her eyes out. It took us a few minutes to find out what had happened from her. Apparently, a customer kept telling his son what he wanted, and the son would tell this waitress. When pressed by the waitress why he would not speak to her directly, he told his son to tell her, 'I don't talk to n******.'

  "We chased the f*cker out of the place. We wanted to roll him, but he was pretty quick."
• (#13) Couple Tries to Scam Buffet

  "While I worked in an all-you-can-eat restaurant, we frequently got customers who would eat three or four plates of food, then go and fill up another five, leave them all full on the table, and claim the food was all disgusting and refuse to pay.

  "There was one time in particular when a couple tried to do this. The managers got involved and were refusing to let the customers leave while they called the police. The woman of the couple tried to push past one of my managers, and he took hold of her arm to stop her leaving. Cue shouts of assault and harassment, and male partner suddenly going ape-sh*t shouting, "Don't you f*cking touch my woman!" etc.

  "Luckily, there was a full restaurant of people who were watching the show, so they couldn't get away with it."
• (#6) Mother Throws a Tantrum in Middle of Restaurant

  "I worked at Longhorn a few years back as a server, and we had this one fat b*tch come in with her awful brats every other day. She'd always request my section, as if to punish me for some unknown reason. Every time they came in, she'd first complain about how the booth was too small and how it couldn't seat her oversized 300-pound ass. She always ordered sweet tea, which would never be sweet enough. She'd make ridiculous requests, like wanting me to go lock her car for her, or running to a convenience store next door for her. She'd try and mix meals without having to pay full price for them. She'd always order a steak that was never to her liking.

  "One day, she waddled in with her brats. She sat down, ordered her steak, and ate nearly half of it. I come over to check on her, and as she's chewing a piece of this steak, says to me that her steak is sh*t and she wants a refund. I pull a manager over to her, and she goes off, saying, 'I was the worst waitress she's ever had here, her steak was awful, and I was incompetent.'

  "My manager, knowing better, tells her that he won't comp the meal. This lady gets irate. She takes all the dishes on the table, starts throwing them on the floor, starts pulling down pictures, and taking swings at us. We called the cops, and she was banned.

  "She tried coming back to eat with us on multiple occasions, and she was thrown out every time."
