So the other day I ordered a chicken burger from a chip shop. I wanted it plain, no salad, no mayo, no nuffin other than chicken. The waitress even checked to make sure that I didn't want salad, but when it arrived, IT WASN'T PLAIN!
This happens to me quite a lot. How hard is it to follow instructions!?
How annoying

I feel your pain bro.
ReplyDeleteThe chip shop near me is really good for things like this really, they've never made a mistake, though it is annoying when things get mixed up like that. Normally complaining might get you a free burger though.
ReplyDeleteWHy don't you just make it yourslef? Fry some chicken, put it between two bread slices, done.
ReplyDeleteI worked in fast food and believe me, it's harder than you think
ReplyDeleteThey only wanted to annoy you. :D
ReplyDeletereally hard. The person that takes your order has to relay that to someone in the back via scribbled notes to someone that probably doesn't speak English. From there they have to interpolate the chicken scratch into farsi and then into whatever their native language is (farsi is the international intermediate language I cannot believe you didn't know that) and then prepared. Then with a note written in swahili the waitress tries to remember in her coke addled brain what table ordered food.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is really annoying, but I can understand how hard it must be to remember every customer's special request.
ReplyDeleteSometimes while cooking chefs and cooks go on auto-pilot and make things the way they are used to making it, however yes your custom order should have come out of the kitchen at some point exactly as you wanted it, but the server may have also messed up and grabbed the wrong thing. Just be polite and tell them: "I am sorry but this is not what I ordered," and you may then have to wait a bit to get what you wanted. And unfortunately they will have to throw the mistake food out, or so they are supposed to...;D
ReplyDeleteI work in food service and have a chef in the family, I know these things. ;)
dealt with the exact opposite. recent school trip to spain, a fussy eating mate wanted a plain burger. The waiter comes back, just a piece of meat, not even a bap :P
