This story reminds me of a customer who I had the "pleasure" of dealing with during my time at a grocery store. She yelled at me that we needed to stop carrying so many different kinds of soda. I believe her exact words were, "There are too many, and I can never tell what kind I want!" In a different trip to the…

Guest: A hamburger.

What was the other 20% like? Not ham?

I once worked at a restaurant where we would use plastic fruit for decor. These baskets were placed strategically throughout the dining area. Several times, people would pick up a piece of the plastic fruit and try to eat it. Not in a joking around kind of way, but, like, "oh, look, an apple!"

I don't eat meat.

This was painful to read.

So he was expecting ... hot, bloody-in-the-middle ... FISH?

Gack. Probably the way John Galt liked it or something.

Starbucks, middle of the afternoon. Exam week. Everyone is tired, but there is a lull in the action for once.

Ok.. so.. one of my dumbest customers was this lady who came through the wendy's drive thru in her minivan to get what i assume was lunch for her entire office. she orders over $40 worth of dollar menu items, which completely defeats the purpose of a drive thru window. so there are cars lined up behind her…

It's me. I am the stupid restaurant customer. The following story is absolutely true, and I've already A: e-mailed it to BCO, and B: posted it on my own blog so the text is never permanently lost. This happened on February 15th:

I love reading these on Mondays, and as I was reading today I thought about the server at my parents' favorite Italian chain restaurant (not Olive Garden, but similar). My parents are in their mid-70's, my dad has dementia and my mom has...she likes to rifle through her coupons. It's a big deal for them to "get out,"…

Who the heck eats ice cream in a bowl? It already comes in a ready-to-eat carton/tub. Why you gotta make an extra dish to wash?

I was at a coffeeshop with a friend the other day, and she ordered a giant chocolate-covered rice krispie square. I asked if I could have a piece, and knowing I try (and fail) to avoid gluten the following conversation happens:

i am definitely calling it breakfast soup from now on.

This story of a dumb customer is not from the many dumb customers I waited on over the years, but from my dumb acquaintance.

This one comes via my husband, who this actually happened to:

WHERE IS THERE SOUP

when Atkins started, I worked at the bux. Breve was all the rage because it was suddenly healthy. I had a customer tell me that there was less fat in heavy whipping cream (not half and half) than whole milk. she had me pull out the containers to prove it. When I tried to explain that one had a serving size of 8oz, the…

You always have pictures of such scrumptious looking food. It's makes me so hungry when all I have for lunch is a turkey sandwich.

I can die now that I've shared ham chop with the world. Pinkham, just made my DAY.
