This isn't a restaurant story, but it was a "WTF?" moment and involved a dumb person and food.

I work in a coffee shop. One time I had a customer order an "everything" bagel but we had sold out. I offered him an onion bagel as an alternative because the "everything" is just an onion bagel with seeds on it. He tells me, "No, I can't eat that. I'm allergic to onions." So I inform him that he's been eating…

It doesn't surprise me that people can be allergic to red dyes, but that's not the same as being allergic to "red things."

I worked for a regional franchise of a national chain restaurant that was a big proponent of secret shopping. Our location was near several busy business parks and hotels with convention spaces. One of our regular groups was a Mormon youth conference - all very nice, well-dressed, attractive young people, but they…

I think you could do an entire BCO about idiots not knowing anything about steak. I once had an older woman order a filet mignon well done; it was her birthday, so I avoided utilizing my "are you fucking kidding me" face and voice, and politely explained that the steak would just get tough, but she wanted it anyway.…

I can handle a secret shopper being mad about a toddler being illegally served beer-battered fish & chips.

Regarding secret shoppers: Editor's Note: There is no screening process. Any idiot can — and usually does — sign up for that job

When I was in Europe, selling monogrammed thermoses, THEY would cook my steaks for me until it was tender, no matter how long it took. Americans are so lazy sometimes.

Priest collars. Don't judge me. The Thornbirds was really seminal (heh) in my life.

And if this woman becomes involved in the lbgtq community as you apparently are, let her announce it. But it sounds as though she intends to change nothing and just sort of put it out there in the ether for people to stare at for no apparent reason. Again, if the subject comes up, whatever. But to make a big hoopla…

I am not saying she should hide it. Should the subject come up, should someone say something inappropriate or bigoted, should she find herself in a position to help, let her say something. But to make an announcement when she has no intention of making it a part of her life seems strange.

Hey guys, I want to tell you about this thing I feel, but never ever plan on acting on just so you can think more or less of me than you do now depending on how open you are about these sort of things!

Actually, I kind of agree with Prudence here. She's in a monogamous marriage to a man. They are not opening it up, apparently, to include others. Marriage presumably means forever. Unless the topic came up of its own accord, what would be the point of making an announcement?

My wife is as ridiculous as I am. This one is short and sweet and not about work.

I was JUST thinking "HEY IT MIGHT BE TIME FOR BCO" and then IT APPEARED.

I'm not proud of this. I moved my desk to DIRECTLY in front of the restrooms, then I started just going in there after everyone. Like some kind of fecal narc.

It is time we change all "Japanese game show" jokes to "Korean team building exercise" jokes.

During grad school I worked in a parking booth at the university hospital. It was usually a great job, I always took night shifts so that I was basically being paid to study. Nothing ever happened, really.

This happened to me too! I'd been working at a boutique for about a month and showed up for work one day. My boss was sitting on the bench outside but didn't catch me as I walked into the store as she had intended. So I saw my replacement standing behind the counter looking terrified of me, and I stood there…

Last month I walked into work one day and my replacement was sitting at my desk.
