Most ridiculous complaint that you've heard recently? - Page 2

Unfortunately we do pre-cook pasta for a la carte service. In this case It was a party of 30 with family style pasta course. We boiled the penne fresh for the party. The complaint came from one person only.

so plz ready to shave your head.........

 

I loved the comment about the ribs. Food is so subjective and everybody thinks their way IS the only way.

Check this out for hilarity.. Now thats a fussy customer!

What would you do?

Had a guy order a steak medium. He also went through the trouble to define medium to the kitchen, as it stated on the ticket. "Medium, pink throughout, no red, not dry." Regardless, I cooked him a flawless, perfectly pink steak. Sends it back because it's still red. Cook it off more.  It comes back. Repeat two more times. Apparently, despite him having a perfect understanding of what "medium" means, he actually wanted a well done steak.

 

Can't please all the people all the time.

I want that on a t-shirt. Too Funny!!

 

Bah .. had  stupid one today.. customer asked for a panini with blueberries instead of ham.. then sent it back because there were " mouldy stains on the eggs"... hmm those stains were the blasted blueberries and their juice for crying out loud... I suspect the meal was comped as the customer was sure it was mould...

 

 

Damn that's funny!  Less testicles in my calamari!   Hahahaha!

Steak request extra extra well is too tough...

Wow haha. Diners can be so...uncivilised. My recent best was a diner ordering a steak "very rare," them sending it back because "it was not cooked enough."

pretty convinced that 90% of the meat eating population has no grasp on what medium is. I've gone to far too many restaurants asking for a medium burger, steak, or salon to have it brought out ot me with little to ZERO color left, and I get perfect mediums sent back to me at least a few times a week.

"The parsley butter potatoes are bland."  Huh? Let's see.... boiled red potatoes with parsley and butter.... Look to you left. On your table you will observe two small glass containers that contain salt and pepper. Help yourself. It's just a matter of time before I hear  "Excuse me, this baked potato is bland." I could start a big rant here about people who think everything has to be doused with hot sauce, rolled in rock salt and dipped in ranch dressing before they can taste it. I swear you could do that to a dog turd and they'd rave about how great it is.  "Can I get my Canadian walleye blackened?" I could cry sometimes.

Once on a busy sunday breakfast, we had a customer ask for "bacon cooked until it's charred" (that was her own words").  She sent it back saying it was inedible.

I think people are so used to the tons of salt, fat, sugar & msg in processed foods that they've forgotten the taste of real food.

 

 

Ask the Chef "" What kind of sherry does  he use in the Seafood Newburg????""                I would have told them the cheapest I could find .but I told the  waiter to tell them it was a Spanish Amontillado..

i had some really stupid complaints in the last few week

 

someone orders the parsnip gnocci with ox tail sauce, then complained that it didnt say on the board that there was meat in the sauce. 

 

an other

 

a guy orders the pork belly with black pudding, chorizo and mash then sends it back saying it wasnt what he was expecting
