Some People Just Want To Watch The World Burn, Part 30
Customer: “I want the chicken and dumplings soup with no dumplings or carrots.”
Me: “The soup comes premade, so I’m afraid—”
Customer: “You are not afraid, but you will be. I’m friends with the owner. I want the chicken and dumplings soup with no dumplings, no carrots, and no excuses.”
I bring the order to the back, and some of the kitchen staff sigh. They knew exactly who this order came from.
Coworker: “Every week, she tries something like this. Don’t bother bringing this to [Owner]; he won’t have our back.”
Have you ever tried to separate tiny little balls of cooked dough and tiny diced carrots from soup? That was not fun. The customer even had the audacity to send it back because there was one tiny bit of carrot remaining.
Then, she sent it back again saying it was too cold, even though I had microwaved it to warm it back up again. I maliciously complied; I put the soup in a sauté pan and got it screaming hot.
She then complained that it was too hot to eat. You can’t win with some people.
