i deliver for pizza hut.

there used to be this woman who would only want her pizzas half-cooked. she'd order a supreme pan pizza and then want it only cooked half of the normal time

that dough was still mostly raw. fucking nasty

we have people all the time call in and get mad when they can't get a half pan and half hand tossed pizza. wtf

yeah, there's a guy where I work who orders several times a week. There's a very specific way in which he likes his pizza made: high crusts, very little cheese, normal amount of sauce, slightly undercooked (because he reheats it at home). Some people don't take special requests seriously (idk why they just don't care), but I always make sure it's done as specified if I can. Especially with loyal customers who aren't assholes idk why you wouldn't try and do right by them.

I did that all the time when I worked at dominos. If anyone is wondering why not take it home fully raw (like Papa Murphy's), we didn't really have the packaging materials for that. If you cooked it part way, you could put it in cardboard and it wouldn't stick. It also melted the cheese enough that all the toppings were glued to the surface.

Still wasn't as good as cooking the whole thing in one shot tho.

[Anonymous No.3831058]

>>3830957
> she would always look in the box and if it was too done she would have us remake it.

No. She was looking into the box to make sure that the rubbin-shit-in-your-hair monkey retards that cooked her pizza took even the minimal amount of pride in their work necessary to honor a simple request.

I doubt it will happen, but someday you will learn to take pride in your work, then you will kick yourself in the ass about all this time and opportunity you wasted being edgy and cynical. Besides, enjoying your work makes the time go much quicker.

not really food service but

>used to work at the cashier at a supermarket
>sometimes random items would scan with an error message they weren't available to be sold
>just a "cannot be sold at this time" error, managers cant do anything because it means the item wasnt correctly added to the stores stock
>happens at least once a week and you cant sell the item when it comes up
>people would get furious at me, tell me I scanned it wrong, demand to know why they couldn't buy it, swear at me, tell me they'd shop somewhere else (like I give a shit) and in general act like giant babbies

I'll admit it was annoying and stupid that for such a big company(international sized) they would have this problem as an often occurance, but I couldn't do anything about it and managers never could either.

Also this same store I'd work on sundays up until we closed, but by about early afternoon we'd run out of plastic bags and people would have to put things right into their carts as is, I used to have people put all of their items on the conveur belt, then just walk out with everything left there when I told them we had no plastic bags left.

I'll never forget the lady that wanted me to make her a custom wrap at work. We didn't normally do that, it was all pre-set recipes so we could price them. My manager said OK and to just weigh everything up and price it individually.

The lady cussed me out every time I walked over to the scale to price something. I bit my lip so I wouldn't cuss her out in return.

In the end, she finally calmed down when the manager explain to her she was paying $2 for two wraps, when wraps were usually about $4 each. Needless to say, I never did it again for anybody.

I got a lot of people who want extra meat or extra cheese and get mad when I put the extra charge on their bill. I really don't know what they expect, they really should just go buy a pound of meat and a pound of cheese so they can just put the whole fucking thing on a roll themself.

A man comes up and wants to ask me a question about our frozen iced coffees, fine.

"I wanted a Chocolate one, but I see you only have Mocha, Caramel, and then there's one that says Chocolate caramel. Can I get the chocolate caramel one without the caramel?"

So then I try to explain 3 times that mocha IS chocolate, and that the chocolate-caramel flavor is the flavor of the actual syrup and can't be separated.

I'll never understand how but my mum always had a habit of talking to cashiers and having long conversations with them. All the time when I went shopping with her as a child, and even now if I go 99% of the time she'll have a conversation with the cashier at the supermarket. And both of them enjoy it.

A month or so ago she said the cashier ended up asking her how do you know if you're pregnant because she was worried.

Another former pizza hut employee here.
We had a regular who told us that she was allergic to meat and demanded that her food be cut with a freshly sanitized blade on a freshly sanitized cutting board. Ok, that's no big deal. We had to sanitize all that stuff every couple of hours anyways and it only took a few extra minutes to make it happen. What I thought was particularly unreasonable was that she demanded that only her pizza was to be in the oven when we cooked it. Otherwise she might have an allergic reaction and all that crap. Apparently having a meat allergy is actually a thing, very rare, but whatever. We try to explain to her that cooking other pizzas in the same oven would not pose a threat but she wont have any of that shit. She comes in to watch us cook the damned pizza to make sure we're doing it right. Mind you, this almost always happens at about 7 on a Friday. Saying that we usually have other orders is an understatement. So we have a choice between having one really pissy lady in our lobby for god knows how long until we clear out our orders or having a bunch of other people getting pissed off because they have to wait longer for their crappy food. Different managers handled it in different ways but it always resulted in someone getting upset. It's just a pain in the ass.

So one week her husband comes in to place the order. We tell him it's probably going to be another 15-20 before we can have the oven clear to cook his order and apologize for the wait. He looks at us like we're insane.
>Why would you have to clear out the oven to cook my order?
Well, isn't your wife allergic to meat? She usually has us cook it separately to make sure there's not cross contamination.
>What the hell? No. She IS a vegetarian but definitely not allergic to it. Is that why it always takes so fucking long for her to get our food? She always told me you guys just mess up the order a lot.

There's pretty much two different kinds of vegetarians/vegans

1 - the ones who just don't want to eat meat for whatever reason. They'll just tell you they're vegetarian and, you don't serve them meat, and everyone's cool.

2 - the people who get off on being morally superior over you filthy carnivores. They never tell you they're vegetarian, because that would acknowledge you can understand their superior diet in the first place.

Supermarket employee here, we have that happen all the time. The only difference is that people are usually all cool about it, they don't mind waiting a few minutes while someone goes and checks how much the item is.

The only time I've ever had someone get really agitated is when we have really good specials for a week, then once that week was over the prices on the system went back to usual, but the grocery guys didn't take the signs down, so we had people demanding that we sell the stuff to them cheaper.

Also:

I am a proponent of consumer rights and if a retail flunky makes an error, does not correct it in a timely fashion, oversteps their "position", wastes my time/money, etc., than I have no problem pursuing this problem.

I tried to take back a pair of sandals that failed after 3 weeks of purchase. The employee was a sarcastic asshole that did not follow his or the company's rules of conduct and created an extra trip for me as well as a few phone calls and hours out of my time.

Dear all food service employees who hate their customers

Get your head out of the clouds and start living in reality. The customers are your boss. They are paying you to do a job for them.

You don't like your boss? Find a new job. You too lazy or stupid to do that? Then do your goddamned best to make sure the job you are paid for, is done correctly

This is what's wrong with the country, no fucking work ethic. It's not enough that you're paid a living wage for doing a completely unnecessary job (people are capable of cooking for themselves you realize), and that you get discounted/free food on top of that, and even fucking TIPS, no, you expect your bosses to treat you like you're the goddamned messiah

A. she takes forever looking over looking over the menu. we're talking 'the sever comes back 3 times after clearing our apps that i had to order to curb starvation' length of time

B. she gets completely confused and tried to order something that doesn't exist or a different version of what she wants. "i'll have the chicken". the basic chicken is served "... this isn't the pineapple(or whatever) chicken"

C. orders the SAME FUCKING THING she could get at one of our normal, cheaper spots that is revered for that dish

Well he wasn't a huge dick or anything. He made her clean the drains, the outside trash cans, bathrooms, and stressed the importance of keeping everything stocked. He watched her when she made drinks, quizzed her on temps, stuff like that. I mean, he basically made sure she knew how to do her job and then made her do it.
She didn't know we were dating, and probably wouldn't have remembered me if she had known.

I work at a hibachi grill in a fucking podunk town in the shitty USA south. Rednecks drive me crazy, and do many irritating things when coming to eat here:

>Get pissed we don't have ranch dressing for the free salad. The two we have are homemade and delicious.
>Parents get irritated we don't have chicken fingers and french fries for their kids. There's a McDonalds literally next door. And a KFC.
>People don't understand if they're in a party of two, they may have to share an 8-seat grill with another couple.
>Want eggrolls, Kung Pow chicken, or chicken/pork/shrimp fried rice. They could just buy the chicken dinner and mix it in their fried rice. Yes, there is a difference between American Chinese and Japanese cooking. It blows their fucking mind.
>Parents coming in at 8-9pm and ordering their children Coca-Cola, sweet tea, or some other caffeine-filled beverage.

Have a story from tonight. I work full-time at a hibachi-sushi bar while going to school. Anyway, these two women came in to eat. Both ordered a chicken dinner apiece. Double and triple-checked with them, since they seemed shifty and confused. I come back when the chef starts cook and see one woman has discarded her plate on another table. It gets really busy and I'm only able to heed to customers' requests at their table and others', but I do see that they are indeed getting two chicken dinners on one plate--it was practically overflowing with food. I asked them if they needed another plate and they quickly denied. The chef even told me when he was finished cooking that he put the two dinners on one plate. Later, they start bitching at my manager about how I charged them for two chicken dinners when they split one. Once they realized they were caugtht, the bitches then began to say we did not serve enough food.

(Though our system does keep track of how much they spend and how often they order, and that can be pulled up in less than 30 seconds, usually while the customer is complaining so it's not a shot in the dark.

I swear people go full retard inside of a grocery store. I used to also work checkout and I was rarely allowed off the register during every shift. Customers would get in line, realize they forgot something, then flip the fuck out if I couldn't rattle off exactly what aisle that item was in.

1) They should not stand in line and expect anyone to get them something they forgot and they shouldn't be allowed to run back and get it until after they finish their order
2) People who get stuck on checkout don't have to memorize the whole store for retarded customers

I just don't get how people can be such assholes. It fucking blows my mind. I mean, none of this ever happens here. No angry negroes, no one complaining about everything is dirty, no fucking "comping" because the customer demands it, no shouting, no freaking "Let me see your manager" because people can't get fired over nothing..

And I really don't mean to sound like a dick, but the correct word to describe most of your customers is "entitlement". Or rather, a false sense of entitlement. Fuck, you guys are people too. Or is the american dream to shit on people who can't say anything back because they'll get fired?

>Dude immediately flips out slams his hands on the counter "I'm not going ANYWHERE ELSE, all I have is this bill and I demand you take it!"
>I open till, pull out drawer, place on counter. This is all the change I have, sir. (It was about $45 at that point, three $5 bills, a short stack of ones, maybe about $20 worth and change.) I cannot make correct change for your $100 bill. Unless you'd rather be short-changed about $30? We have signs posted for this reason."
>"I demand to speak to your manger."
>"I am the manager on duty, if you'd like to speak to my boss, here's his number. But if you'd like your order you're going to have to go break your $100 bill."
>Leaves in a huff, comes back. "This is such bullshit, you should keep enough change in your till to break any bill!" slams $20 on counter.
>Give $9.35 in change and pizza, thank him for comming.

Yeah sure buddy, we're gonna just keep several hundred in the till so we can loose that much more when we get robbed. No, I don't think so. After he called my boss the GM he still wasn't happy and got our DO's number. A week later we had 2 more larger signs about no bills larger than a $20.

I work at a lottery kiosk, we get people coming in and buying $1 scratchcards obviously so they can break their $100s. I make sure to give them at least a $50 in their change. I'd be happy to change it for them if they just asked outright, we always have a ton of $20s.

>>3833748
Some places have a policy about how much you should keep in your till. Our shop has never had a hold up in over 25 years, but we still use it as a precaution.

It's not that common but it's still common enough that many businesses do this. All but 1 of the customer service jobs I've had employed this rule (only 1 actually wouldn't accept hundreds at all, the rest we just had to but it in the drop box just like $20s), the only exception was a locally owned small coffeeshop.

This.
In the 3 years I've worked there we haven't been robbed, and as far as I know of our location hasn't been robbed since our previous GM took over there 6 years ago - don't know anything about before that though.
The rule didn't used to be so strict, but we've had 3 counterfeit $100 bills come through in the last 8 months.
Though if you do order close to $100 or more than in food I'll make change as opposed to loosing a sale, but I'll still ask if you can break it first because of counterfeiting and I have to call my DO and ask if it's alright to take it.
So we're not getting "robbed at gunpoint" but still getting robbed. Smaller bills mean less loss, besides our average ticket price is $15.00. A $20 bill covers that fine.

On topic, the only restaurant experience is as a cook at an italian pizza shop for a few months after college. I was good at it, I got along with the pothead/metalhead boss, and mostly things went well enough.

Not about bad customers, just odd:

> Get a call in for a "cheese and veggie" sub, hold the cheese.
> Could've just said veggie, but whatever.
> Next ticket is a call in for cheesesteak sub, no cheese.
> Think to self, "Goddamn, this rain is making people weird on cheese or something today.
> Immediately get another ticket:
> 'Nacho cheesesteak' sub...a toasted sub almost never ordered that uses weird nacho cheese instead of fresh sliced cheese.
> NO CHEESE.
> Holler out to noone in particulae"What the FUCK is with people and no cheese today? Why the fuck would you order a 'specialty' cheese sub and ask for no cheese!
> Kitchen window overlooks register.
> Customer is right there
> Boss asks "What's up?" with a grin, customer laughs
> mfw I smoke a joint with the boss after the lunch rush.

It took thirty minutes to clean and disinfect the table, chairs and floor where she sat. She didn't apologize for anything, she didn't try to clean anything up. She let her children, did I mention she had SIX?, run around and cry and scream and make a gigantic mess. The little bastards disturbed all the guests around them and she just sat there with a fork in one hand and her face buried in an iphone. Fucking mother of the year material right there.
