WOW

Now that's funny. I would have asked what was wrong with the lady he was with. "Furthermore, since your getting the tip, why dont you do it" Thats what I would have told the server.

WTF. Please tell me you didnt do it. (LOL)

It's time like these that I am so glad i work for myself.

I had this one couple ask if they could help while I could watch while they show me how they like prime rib cooked and then they wanted me to do it just like they do. I laughed my ass off.

This place I've worked for about 3 months (gave my notice today!!) has more "VIPs" than any place I've ever been. It seems the criteria for being a VIP there is to be obnoxious, demanding, have very bad taste in everything, and just jave a lot of money.

SEVERAL of these people ask for ridiculous things. A few of them demand food from our other restaurant next door, one woman wants her Greek salad diced into tiny pieces and between her & her husband, it takes two whole pieces of paper to take their order with all of their modifications. There's not nearly enough room to type it all in in the computer, so i have to go back & verbalize it to the kitchen. We give a free fruit plate to people if it's their birthday or something, or if they are these supposed VIPs & don't you know that most of them will say, "Oh no dessert for me, but you WILL bring the free fruit, won't you?" One family asks for food from next door, changes tables about 3 times during a meal, has NEVER gotten through one of their weekly meals there without sending at least 2 things back, and always demands we open a wine that we don't serve by the glass, then will only buy one glass of it. Believe me, if it were MY restaurant, all of these people would have been 86'ed by now.

I just smile and say im sorry , I can't do that for you then laugh ( in the kichen) !

Ya, the server (sorry kids) could kiss my skinny ass asking me to cut it into 1cm pieces.

NO WAY.

I'm still a fan of the "No pistachios on that please, I'm HIGHLY allergic to nuts. DEADLY allergic, do you understand me?"

Uh huh. Here, let me just make sure that those peanuts I was just handling don't get on that......oh wait, THAT one was made with Hazelnut flour...." When the server tells them everything on the menu is processed in a facility (the kitchen) that processes nuts, the customer always says "okay, I'll the blah blah blah then" and proceeds to just ask that the offending nut not be placed on top, next to or on the plate, eats the whole damned dessert with nuts, and then is happy about it.

Why don't they just say "I don't LIKE such and such", instead of faking a damned allergy? I'm happier to make something special if they say they don't like something, at most times, except for anyone who thinks they are a VIP and they really aren't (snicker), if they are just honest. I'd rather have my patrons pleased with every bit of the meal than try to insult our intelligence with stupid requests.

Sounds what we used to refer to a BK customer. They insist on having it their way. Our theory is that they don't really want the "Sauce on The Side", or "Just a little ice" or " Grill the buns don't toast them".. They just like being waited on .
