    Crashed Diet

    | New York, NY, USA | Top

    (A well-dressed woman and her teenage daughter are out to lunch at one of my tables. I have already brought them their drinks.)

    Customer: *waving me over* “Miss! I asked for a diet soda.”

    Me: “Oh, I’m so sorry. I must have picked up another server’s order by mistake. Let me get you a new one.”

    (I fill a diet soda myself and deliver it. Before even tasting it, she speaks up.)

    Customer: “No! This isn’t diet soda! I’m on a very strict diet and I can’t have carbs!”

    Me: “I filled it myself. I assure you that it is diet.”

    Customer: *poking the drink with a straw* “Then what are these? I can see the carbs everywhere!”

    Me: “You can see the carbs, Ma’am?”

    Customer: “Yes! Are you blind? Can’t you see the bubbles?”

    Customer’s teenage daughter: “Oh my God, mom! ‘Carbs’ mean carbohydrates, not carbonation!”

    UV: Under Valued

    | San Diego, CA, USA | Crazy Requests, Food & Drink

    (It is mid-afternoon and the sun is starting to directly shine in the windows. The shades are already down but some light still shines through.)

    Customer: “It is way too bright. I have very sensitive eyes. You need to do something about the sun.”

    Me: “I’m sorry, but the shades are already down. Would you like to move to a different table that is away from the windows?”

    Customer: “No! I want you to do something about the sun!”

    Me: “Sir, I really can’t control the sun.”

    Customer: “You can’t do anything? I have very sensitive eyes!”

    Me: “I can move you to another table.”

    Customer: “No, that won’t work. How about you just stand here while I eat and block the sun?”
