I work in a restaurant and believe me, the public can be unbelievable about their food. You just have to grin and bear it. :D Let me give you an example of a difficult couple last night:
Keep in mind that the gentlemen even said when they walk in the door, they might as well hold up a sign on themselves that says "pain in the *ss". He was right! They both got salads with no this and lot's of extra that. This is really fine, never be ashamed to do that. But then the wife ordered something called "Mixed Griller Chicken", it is a wonderful dish of grilled, season boneless chicken breast with fresh grilled pineapple, mushrooms, onions, and red pepper on a bed of seasoned rice. The chicken and veggies are glazed with a tangy sweet glaze (the best part, I think!). When her food came (minus onions, and shrooms, extra pineapple, light seasoning, as she ordered)she acted as though it looked disgusting and immediately started complaining about the glaze. She said she get's this all the time and it NEVER has a glaze! This is the key part of the dish and of course it ALWAYS has a glaze. She sent it back (no bother to me, the dogs LOVED the chicken when I got home!) and got it with out all of the other stuff and no glaze. She asked how long and I said 11 minutes. About 8 minutes later, she said she did not want it and to take it off of her bill! Think about this guys, that is 2 13.00 dollar meals that she wasted! Very sad!
Had to vent, THANKS!!!
