Laughing now
However I was not laughing Thursday night. I have had difficult customers in the past, some that even made me want to cry, but never have I had someone make my blood boil the way this woman did. Two women came in and sat in my section, both older/middle aged, seemed very annoyed with my presence and told me their order like I was stupid and I would surely mess it up if they didn't speak very slowly. Both ordered a baked potato with butter, sour cream and chives but they wanted to make and mix it themselves so they asked for all of it on the side, fine, I do all of that with a smile. The one woman ordered our honey drizzled fried chicken and I confirmed their order both were happy with how I recited it and both were happy when it came out. I went to check on them and she had taken maybe 4 or 5 bites of her chicken but said "I asked for the honey on the side" first off, no she definitely didn't. 201
But I replied saying I was so sorry, I must not have heard her say that and her friend interjects saying "oh, she said it!! She said it two times and you repeated it back!!" All utter bull but I offered to run back to the kitchen anyway and get her a fresh chicken breast and she agreed but said "I don't want it how you just brought it to me. Don't let them fry it, I want it the other way" I asked if she meant grilled and she snapped back at me saying of course she meant grilled, what else could she mean.... okay. So I run back and we luckily have a grilled chicken breast meant for a to go order that still had several minutes before it was due so I was able to grab it almost immediately upon walking back there. Their drinks stayed full, I brought them their food quickly, they gaslight me trying to get a free meal and then leave me two dollars. Sometimes this job makes me want to scream but then the next day is usually better and then I'm able to laugh at the aholes that try to get free food by berating their server 201
