“I worked in fine dining for a while. I had one lady order creme brulee french toast with a fruit loops crust and a bottle of champagne with 2 carafes of orange juice. We made it. Actually we made a whole batch and the workers ate it. It was actually really good.”—username deleted

“I’ll have a cold grilled cheese please” -so, uncooked? “no, cook it, just serve it cold.”—quokka_808

“Barista here.  I had someone order a 16-oz cup with as much espresso as would fit. It was something like 18 shots, cost about 25 bucks, and he downed it at the counter and went “woo!” A lady regularly asks for a cup of regular coffee with a large spoonful of butter stirred in. We do breakfast sandwiches on bagels and croissants, and a businessman with a group of his colleagues had ham/egg/cheese, but he wanted it on a chocolate croissant. I think my favorite incident, though, was a lady that wanted a latte with half nonfat and half soy, a triple shot with one regular shot, one decaf shot, and one half-caff shot, heated to a specific temperature, double-cupped, one Splenda and one Equal stirred into the shots.”—m0untaingoat

“When I worked at McDonald’s someone asked for a Quarter Pounder medium-rare, light ketchup with and extra toasted bun. It was a very slow time and we were all amused by it so I made one for him. He came back to compliment my cooking. ETA: This happened in 1980. We used real grills and spatulas to cook the burgers then. We didn’t know about E-coli in ground beef. I made it by cooking it a little less than normal so it was still safe in any case.”—ice_burn

“Had a guy send one of our servers to the kitchen about seven times, which is down the stairs far away from her section, to inquire about the weight of different hamburgers. All of them were the same yet he insisted she go down and check and would watch to make sure she did. Finally, the guy decides he wants a 24-oz grilled “burger” with nothing else but the patty, no seasoning or anything.

Not like some hulking bro trying to get extra protein, just an old a—hole who wanted to f—k with the poor server. Ate a bite, said he didn’t like it and ordered another burger. Tipped a very solid 0% after telling her “it’d all be worth it!” This is why we’re all mildly functioning alcoholics.”—maplebaconchips
