(#11) Changing Dishes Midstream
From Redditor u/why_pretend
Stop ordering new things halfway through the cooking process. It’s really annoying when you change your mind and the dish is already cooked and we have to start over. Some things can’t be undone and we end up wasting food.
(#4) Picky Eater
From Redditor u/lightwell
Server at a vegan restaurant here. A woman asked me for something on the menu with no potato or starches , no corn, no wheat, no soy, no vegan cheese, nothing processed, no added sugar, and no fruit.
I suggested a salad. A plain salad.
"I don't want a salad, that's all I have at home. When I eat out I want something different."
I dealt with multiple fussy eaters, people with crazy diets, or crazy allergies, and this was the first time I ever had to say "we cant accommodate that order, you haven't given me much to work with.... maybe if you eased up on one or more restrictions...."
She just had a glass of water.
(#5) A Sampler Plate Of Complaints
From Redditor u/quietppb
People that have to order sh*t done a specific way and then bitch about it. I can give you a list:
Lady ordered chicken schnitzel but didn’t want it deep fried so she wanted it grilled. So she got her breaded grilled chicken and complained that it was bland
Guy didn’t want his calamari deep fried because he was on a diet, so we pan friend it in minimal oil and he complained because it didn’t look as good
Lady ordered truffle sauce, complained because it was “too strong”. It’s f*cking truffle you idiot what do you expect!!!
And my personal favorite.... a couple complained because their kilpatrick oysters were “warm and slimy”. Like f*ck off. Firstly have you ever eaten an oyster? And it f*cking should be warm, it just came from under the grill.
Damn people seriously piss me off
(#16) You May Not Want To Order Swordfish
From Redditor u/ATLHawksfan
Swordfish...all fish can have parasitic worms. But swordfish can be riddled with them. Let's just say it's pretty unappetizing.
(#2) Very Weird Steak Order
From Redditor u/mc_donkey
I used to work at an Irish pub 7 years ago. We had a bud spud and steak (Get a beer, get a potato and get a steak for like 10 bucks for a fundraiser)
Someone attended and asked for a half steak well done, and half rare/medium rare but she didn't want it cut in half, wanted the steak whole.
I was able to KINDA do it (Half the steak was hanging off the side of the grill, cooking each side one at a time) but she sent it back, wasn't cooked right.... Boss got mad at me cause I didn't cook the steak two different ways right..... It was a sh*tty day.
So yeah, avoid asking for a stupid f*cking steak order please.
(#6) Gluten-Free Breading
From Redditor u/Bjw4k8
I work in fine dinning so no horror stories of rancid food. However, if you are gluten free (as I am myself) accept that some items are not an option. Constantly I see servers coming back to ask if calamari can be done gluten free. NO!!! The breading is flour! "They said it doesn't matter just don't bread it." Okay fine. Gets plate sent back for calamari being tough from being oil logged. God damn. I'm a celiac. I accept things are out of my reach on menus. Get your sh*t together. Order within your dietary restrictions and don't make us bend over backwards to make it unappetizing.

About This Tool
Waiters, cashiers, and even chefs of chain restaurants may receive hundreds of guests every week. Polite guests can make their lives easier and more pleasant, and their services will be improved. Don't underestimate the opinions of the chefs, they often receive outrageous customer requests in daily works. We don’t like unpleasant dining experiences, but sometimes the responsibility lies with the diners because we have not followed the most basic principles.
Many chefs here shared some internal secrets of the restaurant, people need to stop doing these. Check if you have ever experienced these behaviors. And you could also search for other things with the tool.
