Onions Make Customers Cry
(I am working as a waitress during a slow night, and someone comes up and asks me if I was the one to bring out food to table #7. I tell them no, but I did take their order. When I get over there, there’s a woman sitting alone and sobbing profusely with a burger in front of her.)
Young Woman: “I- I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it! Was I rude? I just don’t know what I did wrong!”
(I try to calm her down, but she refuses to stop crying. I go back to the kitchen and get her order slip back, thinking that she has just lost something she ordered. It turns out she is deathly allergic to onions, and the cook has messed up and put extra onions on her burger. Apparently the customer thinks we are trying to poison her for being rude. We get her a new burger with zero onions, and she calms down instantly.)
Young Woman: “But… you’re not still mad at me, right?”
