Customer Quotes


They say it, (the customers,) and sometimes I can't believe it.  But these are words that came from the mouths of human beings that sat it my section while I was clocked in.

It's been awhile, but it's time again to list some ACTUAL customer quotes and then of course followed by my (smart - ass) answer that I would have said, if we lived in a perfect world.

"I would like my Lamb rare, but pink."
If a chef could cook a piece of meat rare and got it to come out looking pink, then that chef would be a pioneer. If you order something rare, you had better like the color red, because that's what you are going to get, bloody red.

"Do your salads have any greens in them?"

Are you friends with the pink-rare-Lamb lady?  How long have you been on this planet and not seen some kind of salad that didn't have greens in it?  Yes, I know of some salads that don't have greens.  For example, the caprese salad.  Which traditionally is buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes.  But that salad is garnished with basil, which is GREEN.  

"Can I order room service to my room?"
No.  Actually we would prefer that you order it to your private residence.  But when it gets there, feel free to take it to your room.

"I'm trying to decide between the fish, the chicken, or the steak.  Which one is better?"
It's better that you leave.  That's better.  And while you're gone, look up what fish, chicken, and steaks are and look like.

"Bring us more Champagne.  The kids want to pop their own bottles."
Of course sir.  A family that pops Champagne together, is probably Persian.

"I don't like the steak knife you gave me.  Can you go get me one of the cook's knives?"
The only time a chef would bring out one of their knives, would be to stab you."

More customer quotes to follow...

Until next time... Server's don't pay their rent with compliments.

"Bitter.  Party of 1?  Your table is ready."

Can I use 1 of the chef's knives! Seriously..? people get dumber with every passing day! And yes when I was a cook, I would have stabbed someone that tried to take my knife! I honestly don't know how servers don't go postal sometimes!

Here is my favourite gem from about 2 years ago. This was said in response to a description of a dessert containing honey: "I'm allergic to bees, I can't eat honey!"*sigh*
Hopefully that person will get attacked by a bear who was looking for honey.

Excuse Tips

It's ideal for a server to receive 18 to 20 percent gratuity for a job well done.  Now it seems that customers are looking to leave an excuse rather than a monetary tip explaining why they couldn't leave their server any money.  WTF?!! Of course, because my landlord would love to receive an excuse instead of a check for rent this month. "I don't have the money for rent, because I'm a writer/comedian.  But I adore this building.  So secure." The above picture was found on Yahoo.com .  One of the comments said that they thought this was an altered pic, but I have actually seen this happen to myself and co-workers.  And by-the-way, what if the server waiting on the woman was a single parent?  So the lady who wrote this has now started a domino effect on their server who is struggling to make ends meet.  And so on, and so on...  Get bent! I don't believe in saying that if you can't afford to go out, that you should never go out.  There are ways t

10 Ways To Get Better Service At A Restaurant

I have noticed that there are many variables that can lead to a bad dining experience, and for the customer to say that they received "poor service" has become cliche, and just the "go to" for when all things go bad in a restaurant.  Here is a Top 10 list to help customers have a positive experience the next time they dine out. 10.  SIT AT THE FIRST TABLE THE HOST GIVES YOU "This table's too round.  This table's too brown.  This table's just right."  You are not buying real estate.  So for you to pass on the first, then the second, and even the third table option the host gives you is beyond ridiculous.  The tables are all made the same, have four legs, four chairs, (if applicable,) and are strong enough to hold food, drinks, and purses.  And if you pass on a table, now you've messed up the floor plan that the host has prepared at the beginning of their shift, and everybody in the restaurant takes notice as you are aimlessly walking a

Breast Milk Macchiato

There are too many choices for milk nowadays.  Organic.  Almond.  Breast? Soon "breast milk" will be the new craze everywhere, and people will be ordering it for their Lattes thanks to the constant problem of breast feeding in restaurants. The policia teta have been called upon again to smack the cuffs on the latest perpetrators of breast feeders in restaurants.  This isn't the first, nor will it be the last time.  But to celebrate my 100th Bitter Bistro post, what better way to celebrate then to debate the issues of breast feeding in restaurants. I am going to say that I am "pro boob," but I am against them being out to feed your child while you are dining in a restaurant.  I get it.  It's natural, it's best for your child, but most people go out to a restaurant for a good time, and your breast-feeding is not included in the price of an entree. "Waiter!  Can you do something about this?  That woman's breast is exposed and I'm try
