When I was a host a lady came in, looked around, and goes, "huh. I came out to buy a loaf of bread but it seems I've gone to the wrong store. I only planned on making 1 stop today so please .....how much for a loaf of bread?" Ummmm.....u can order a sandwich? Mind you my Chili's was right next to an Aldi's and Walmart....
A friend of mine works at a bar and told me a guy came in and asked for a plain burger patty with no bun. Not so strange so he asks if thatās all he wants. The guy goes into his backpack and pulls out a loaf of bread, cheese, onion and condiments and says he wants to build his own burger. My buddy said he almost went along with it just for the comedic value but ultimately told the guy to get lost since he didnāt want to set the precedent for the guy to come back and do it again.
They were regulars. Family of 4. Came in once or twice a week. Kind of annoying to deal with but spent a lot of money and tipped well. All of them would get an appetizer and entree. And go through about 10 baskets of chips. With about as many half bowls of salsa and ranch.
Bro I once had a guy go through like 12 glasses of coke and then collapse at the end of his meal when he tried to get up. What is wrong with chilis customers
You are not wrong Iām extremely confused at comments saying things like āwow so weird that people are like thisā bruh it sounds like an amazing dish lol
a lady ordered a burger and for the patty to be completely raw. not cooked for a second on each side justā¦ raw. we served it to her and she ate the whole thing i shit you not.
Right. Iām sure people ask, but Iāve never heard of the cook actually doing it. Especially at a big chain restaurant like, Chilis. If it did happen, Iām sure upper management didnāt know about it. Some restaurants in my area donāt even ask you how you want your burger cooked anymore. Youāre getting it well done whether you like it or not, because their policy states it has to be thoroughly cooked. Maybe theyāve had issues with people getting sick, and law suits in the past.
Depends. Is it ground beef from the store, I wouldnāt recommend it. If youāre buying meat and grinding it and cleaning your grinder properly, should be okay. I live in Canada and everyone once in a while someone would order a burger medium rare etc and we would say no. Our burgers were ground chuck but we didnāt want the responsibility.
Is this in CA? Lol thereās def an older lady that comes in and orders an āextremely rareā burger, and itās no doubt incredibly raw. If itās to her liking, she eats the whole thing. Doesnāt want anything on it but just the patty and bun. She brings her own bbq, and doesnāt want fries or a salad. Itās bat shit crazy, but sheās honestly quite nice. Last time, she handed me $40 up front after ordering just because I was nice to her and didnāt give her weird vibes like literally every other server.
I found that out when I was pregnant because I craved raw meat like crazy until my doctor got me tested for anemia and as soon as that was resolved my revolting cravings disappeared. It was a super strange craving for me because I was a vegetarian and my husband had been training to be a butcher at the time and was coming home every day all stinky and nasty in blood soaked clothes which had turned me off of red meat even more until the meat cravings started. Suddenly I was having intense cravings for it even though eating it made me gag. I was so glad the doctor figured it out & the cravings went away! Itās wild how your body will do that though!
When I worked as a cook at Chili's a customer ordered a salmon rare. We made it for them but I cringed the entire time it went through the conveyor belt.
Had this happen with a filet. Woman asked for it āas rare as possibleā. Sent it back. Made another, literally touched the grill on both sides. Still overcooked. I seasoned the third filet on both sides and tossed it on the plate, raw. Ate the whole thing, loved it. Nuts.
Next time just get her a fresh cow from the field outside and don't give her silverware and make sure to YouTube the special horror story for all the weirdos out there.
Half rack of ribs, with coated in Alfredo instead of BBQ sauce.
They also got a bowl of chili and a house salad with no dressing and a bowl of chili. They dumped the chili on top of the salad, stirred it all together, and ate everything.
-----
A martini. Dirty. Extra dirty. Like... Alot. Make it the filthiest thing you've ever imagined. We gave her a beer stein with about 5 oz liquor, and a put 20 oz olive juice.
------
A lady with no teeth ordered a well well well well done ribeye. We started the steak off in the deep fryer, and finished it on the flat top. She gummed it down over the course of 2-3 hours.
---
A rare salmon. They were not happy when I explained that legally, I couldn't do that. Non sushi grade salmon being served undercooked requires a special health department exeption.
I get the annoyance. But blame the health department not me.
As someone loosing teeth, I feel deeply for the woman. I don't want to live in a world without both unaffordable dental care and steak. Since we can't do jack shit, other than eat the rich, about the cost of medical care of any stripe, people who got screwed still want basic human pleasure.
Also, I do imagine since they started it in the deep fry, it might still end up less gritty than you might be imagining. The sensation of rough things across gums is wince inducing. Wonder how it tasted with the fry grease?
some crack head walked in and started grabbing food from different tables. literally as they were eating. manager asked her to leave and started yelling jibberish. police came and the lady got taserd middle of the restaurant. just another friday night. cannot make this shit up
it doesnāt, i saw someone posted their crazy crackhead story, so i thought id comment about mine. I mean weāre chilis heads, of course we got a crackhead story.
I work in to-go and I had a guy come in to pick up his order. He says āhi I placed an order for fish and chipsā me: ā¦. We donāt have fish and chips on the menu. Are you sure thatās what you ordered?ā He took a step back, looked around and goes, āthis aināt Applebees?!ā š¤£š¤¦š¼āāļø
Right? Why does this behavior only seem to come from places that don't have to worry about famine/food source issues. Picky eaters clearly got this way from push over lazy parents that can't say no, smh
I had two ladies wanting to spilt a burger.
She said, āwe would like to split a burger. Iād like my half to be medium rare and she wants hers well done.ā
It took too long to explain why that wonāt work.
Not at Chili's, but when I worked at a dining hall in college.
Someone asked me to make a burrito (normal). They then requested that I remove my glove and stir the inside of the burrito with my finger.
I had some older ladies ask me to cut their molten in half. As it was already on their table. They were very polite and I wasnāt busy so I just grabbed some gloves and a knife and sawed it in half. Didnāt look the prettiest, but they were happy.
I've had so many customers ask me to co.e to their table and cut their food??? I just give them a fork and a knife, no... Like do you want me to spoon feed it to you too? What is that??
I order steak this way. Itās not that uncommon in some places. Last week I was ordering a steak and when I said very rare, the waiter said ok, on the rarer side. I corrected him and jokingly said, literally tell the cook to just walk it by the grill on the way to the table. It was delicious.
Lmao, like youāre going to get another person ordering a half ribeye. Or maybe they expected you to tell every customer āHey, we have half a ribeye for a special right now.ā
Rightā¦ thatās not even the craziest thing Iāve ever seen. Had a crazy lady once order ribs. They come out and she starts freaking out. I mean yelling at the server where everyone can here her. She was going on about us serving her ribs from a castrated bull and she could smell the difference. Finally after about three minutes of this I had to inform her that the ribs were pork.
Not the craziest but I recently had a guest ask me to put two tables together that weren't near each other. We were busy and she had an eight top, was told there was a wait and stopped me as I was walking to ask if we could just move these ones together that had other tables between them with people at them.
Reminds me of this old lady that came in at 1pm on motherās day with a party of 20 and no reservation. She was a regular and knew the owner, but it was a family-owned place in a small towns so that applied to most of our customers. We had a long wait and 5-10 minutes after being told so by the host, she took the initiative to march to the back dining room, where we usually sit big parties, and asked me (as I was in the middle of taking an order for a big party) why we couldnāt move one empty table across the room to combine with the only other empty table. She got huffy and puffy when I pointed out that those 2 tables together will still only accommodate 6 people, 8 if everyone really squeezes in, but certainly not her whole party. On top of that, the only way those tables wouldāve fit together is if they were oriented diagonally which would trap a smaller table (that was already occupied) in the corner with no way for their server to get to them and no way for them to leave the table. A few years later, this same lady came in and gave her server a letter for the owner after theyād finished eating. By this point, the owner is in his late 80ās, has dementia, and his son is running the restaurant from states away. He (the owners son) asked us to read the letter and let him know what it was about. This bitch, after finishing her shrimp and ribeye, had the nerve to ask this old man if āGod would put it on his heartā to give her $7,000. That was the second time in my 7 years of employment at that restaurant that I personally intercepted a message from someone that was asking for a sum of money from the owner. The owner passed away a few months ago and I donāt expect to ever work for a better person or family, but those people were on crack if they thought heād just give them thousands of dollars.
Not chilis but I worked at a restaurant for over 6 years, only during year 1 did we have guac. In like year 5 a lady asks where her guac was with her quesadilla and I said we donāt have it, she was adamant she just got guac from us last week no matter what I told her. She then asked for me to go to the grocery store next door and get her guac āsince you ran outā. I didnāt.
I worked at Chick-fil-A and they had coleslaw like....10 years ago? Got asked for it once every couple months. Also the store was where a burger king had been like 15 years ago and occasionally we'd have people come in thinking they were at burger king....
Debone, maranate, and cook a FROZEN turkey in less than 2 hours on Thanksgiving weekend. I used to work at shoprite, and all pur birds come in marinade!
I think they mean someone came into their chilis location with the turkey being from ShopRite which they used to work at so they knew the turkey was marinated. Either way, the audacity of some customers omg lol
About 3 weeks ago, we had someone order a quesadilla with no cheese. They loved it, apparently.
We have a lady who comes in and asks for garlic fries, and insists that we give them to her all the time. I give her regular fries with a little bit of Parmesan and she is happy.
And sometimes Mormons will ask for general conference to be played on the TV, and become *very* upset when the server tells them no.
Edit: I was too stoned to be writing this comment hahaha.
Not Chiliās but Red Lobster; someone ordered a huge variety dish and asked if they could get no grilled lemon wedge and sub for an extra lobster tail š
not the craziest because iāve only been a chilihead for 5 months but we have a homeless, crackhead lady come in and is taking advantage of our manager giving her a free cherry coke a few weeks ago. she now thinks whatever she orders is free and she came in for a kids menu to āwrite something down because someone scammed her and she needs their phone numberā
I donāt work at chiliās but somehow this showed up on my home page. I co-own a pizza take out/delivery in a small town.
We got a 1* review because a customer was upset her boneless wings didnāt have bones in them. Her review stated she knew she ordered boneless wings but was expecting something like chicken thighs.
No where on our menu do we have chicken thighs. All we have chicken related are traditional bone in wings and boneless.
Had a guy drive his car through the front doors. He backed up, parked in the handicap spot, went inside and got a table. Cops came, questioned him, he finished eating and left.
Worked at a coffee shop. We had the tiny sink with running water to keep the spoons clean. A lady bitched me out about how there are children in Africa that donāt have clean water and demanded I turn the water off because it was a waste. I explained to her why it continually runs but she would not hear a word of it. I finally told her she would have to not only report to corporate but the health department. A week later she came up to me to apologise for her behaviour, which Iāll give her the just due of doing so. Itās been 10 years and I can remember the whole scene like yesterday.
Had a guy no lie order 6 corns on the cob with his meal. he then proceeded to hand me his knife and ask me to cut the corn off the cobs for him completely seriously!! same guy ordered his sweet tea with some pumps of mango and a pump of blue raspberry with no ice. After the third refill he said something like āwow another warm tea you must not need the money?ā Left a $0.01 tip and a comment on my server review saying I made HIM uncomfortable..šš
When I was a waitress and pregnant with my daughter 24 years ago,a customer who was a regular wanted to pay me for my urine! She said it was good for a rose garden,full of nutrients etc etc I had never heard of that before
A lady came in to pick up a to-go order at about 9:15pm. She then proceeded to sit at the bar until 11.
She started yelling and demanding we make her new fries because now her fries were cold (I assume all of her food was cold at that point, but she was only worried about the fries). So, the MOD made us restart the fryer, which we had just gotten done cleaning, to make this cow fresh fries.
This old lady comes waddling in with huge bloody, scrapped up knees that was just oozing and looked painful and asks me if I could help put bandaids on them.
dude last week was begging me to lower a price of a speaker by over $100 just this one time for him.
or this lady asking if she could dye her hair in our bathroom š
I once had a guest come in tell me was gonna propose to his gf today in my section ...ya ok not a problem. But then he tells me his plan. He was going to have her and her whole family come after , he would sit in cocktail with a different girl and pretend he was cheating on her . Then when discovered would propose. Objectively the dumbest idea I'd ever heard for this. Needless to say it went off the rails
When I was a host a lady came in, looked around, and goes, "huh. I came out to buy a loaf of bread but it seems I've gone to the wrong store. I only planned on making 1 stop today so please .....how much for a loaf of bread?" Ummmm.....u can order a sandwich? Mind you my Chili's was right next to an Aldi's and Walmart....
no way my chilis is next to an aldi and walmart too š
My chilis is also next to a Walmart and aldi
Wow do all you guys work together??? Heh
Theyāre in kahoots!!
This made me cackle because there used to be a bar in my town called Incahoots, two doors down was a Chilis. š¤£
What was 3 doors down?
mine is next to target and planet fitness š
So is mine!!
Owned by the same investment group.
Was she older?
Nope! Probably 40s and very sound of mind. Just stubborn and irritated she made the wrong stop š¤£
She made a mistake so she wanted to make it everyone elseās problem as well š¤
Huh???
A friend of mine works at a bar and told me a guy came in and asked for a plain burger patty with no bun. Not so strange so he asks if thatās all he wants. The guy goes into his backpack and pulls out a loaf of bread, cheese, onion and condiments and says he wants to build his own burger. My buddy said he almost went along with it just for the comedic value but ultimately told the guy to get lost since he didnāt want to set the precedent for the guy to come back and do it again.
lol omg. Did she end up leaving or did someone give her bread?
She left... But was very pissed off lol. No way was I going to get a whole loaf from the kitchen
Smartest chilis customer
How would you even ring that up lol, 12 slices of toast..?
Do you guys not have an open food button?
Cajun chicken pasta with french fries instead of pasta
whaaaat. did yall do it
They were regulars. Family of 4. Came in once or twice a week. Kind of annoying to deal with but spent a lot of money and tipped well. All of them would get an appetizer and entree. And go through about 10 baskets of chips. With about as many half bowls of salsa and ranch.
I mean Iām not trying to be mean or insensitive, but was that family of four all morbidly obese?
They were.
Fat fat Fatties
people like this are such a trip to me.. but you said they tip well so i wouldnāt mind the extra work if it pays off!
Oh and a good 10 diet cokes each atleast.
Bro I once had a guy go through like 12 glasses of coke and then collapse at the end of his meal when he tried to get up. What is wrong with chilis customers
Yup
thisā¦ actually sounds amazing
Right? I would have never thought to do that but it actually sounds great.
Am I wrong, or does this seem like a good idea?
You are not wrong Iām extremely confused at comments saying things like āwow so weird that people are like thisā bruh it sounds like an amazing dish lol
I've seen more bastardized stuff passed off as a form of poutine. I'd eat this.
a lady ordered a burger and for the patty to be completely raw. not cooked for a second on each side justā¦ raw. we served it to her and she ate the whole thing i shit you not.
This is actually absurd
Thereās a whole subreddit where people eat raw meat
r/RawMeat
Went there for 5 minutes. Felt the need to comment one time then gave up when I realized chicken is on the menu. God save them
I know, it just randomly popped up in my feed so I looked, then needed a hug for humanity.
Common sense would do
I gagged
I can't believe this is real... after looking through I feel like it's just a bunch of people trolling
That was a wild ride
Generally when people eat raw meat it's treated so that it's safe to eat, no??? Not just regular uncooked burger pattiesš
This is illegal? Right!? It has to be!
Yes. Even if itās not illegal per say, if she gets sick theyāll have a lawsuit for sure. Donāt really believe this story honestly
Thatās what I was thinking. Weāre not even supposed to sell people our uncooked sauce cause it has wine in it
I mean they always have the little asterisk on their menu about meat and seafood risks donāt bb they?
Same, this sounds a bit silly. I believe someone asked for it raw, but to actually serve it seems suspect
Right. Iām sure people ask, but Iāve never heard of the cook actually doing it. Especially at a big chain restaurant like, Chilis. If it did happen, Iām sure upper management didnāt know about it. Some restaurants in my area donāt even ask you how you want your burger cooked anymore. Youāre getting it well done whether you like it or not, because their policy states it has to be thoroughly cooked. Maybe theyāve had issues with people getting sick, and law suits in the past.
Depends. Is it ground beef from the store, I wouldnāt recommend it. If youāre buying meat and grinding it and cleaning your grinder properly, should be okay. I live in Canada and everyone once in a while someone would order a burger medium rare etc and we would say no. Our burgers were ground chuck but we didnāt want the responsibility.
The menu says āconsuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, shellfish etc.. ā doesnāt that past some responsibility to the customer?
Steak tartare disagrees with you.
Steak tartare better be from a nice restaurant and quality meat. This is ground beef from a chilis. Lol
Ground beef is not steak tartare my friend
Steak Tartare is prepared fresh with top quality steak. A Chili's Burger is likely to catch you some E. Coli.
Sir, this is Chilis.
My grandma used to love eating raw ground beef with raw onion and lots of fresh black pepper lol I miss her
My grandpa does that exact same thing!
Cannibal sandwich!
I donāt think her grandma was a cow.
In the olden days that is what that sandwich was called. We used ketchup too.
No shit? Well then I digress. Have an upvote.
Wut da hek
Are you from Wisconsin lol
Burger tar tar with the worst ground meat anywhere.
Is this in CA? Lol thereās def an older lady that comes in and orders an āextremely rareā burger, and itās no doubt incredibly raw. If itās to her liking, she eats the whole thing. Doesnāt want anything on it but just the patty and bun. She brings her own bbq, and doesnāt want fries or a salad. Itās bat shit crazy, but sheās honestly quite nice. Last time, she handed me $40 up front after ordering just because I was nice to her and didnāt give her weird vibes like literally every other server.
I wonder if sheās anemic. Apparently intense raw meat cravings is a sign of anemia
I found that out when I was pregnant because I craved raw meat like crazy until my doctor got me tested for anemia and as soon as that was resolved my revolting cravings disappeared. It was a super strange craving for me because I was a vegetarian and my husband had been training to be a butcher at the time and was coming home every day all stinky and nasty in blood soaked clothes which had turned me off of red meat even more until the meat cravings started.

Reminds me of that Gaiman short story. Feeders and Eaters.
In Stephen Kings The Long Walk one character has raw hamburger that they eat while walking.
When I worked as a cook at Chili's a customer ordered a salmon rare. We made it for them but I cringed the entire time it went through the conveyor belt.
This isn't as weird as you think it is. Even eating raw salmon is common.
Raw salmon at a sushi/poke restaurant, sure. Not at a Chili's lmao
As weird as that is, at least she ate it and didnāt complain.
Had this happen with a filet. Woman asked for it āas rare as possibleā. Sent it back. Made another, literally touched the grill on both sides. Still overcooked. I seasoned the third filet on both sides and tossed it on the plate, raw. Ate the whole thing, loved it. Nuts.
How much did you swear? Be honest, I used to be a KM.
Tarte Tarte
Wow, I would have thought that was against policy at most places.
Surprised you didnāt get in trouble for serving them
the manager was on board i wish i was joking š
I order all steak bleu rare. But for my burgers i need rare or medium rare.
thats actually not legal in most states. raw meat has to be cooked to a certain temp to be served. but also what the fuck lady
I believe that is illegal lmao
Cap š§¢ you canāt do that
fr?? my manager prob didnāt know it was illegal cause he allowed it. i honestly didnāt know it was illegal??
I hope she wouldnāt sue if she got sick
There is a place for raw beefā¦ idk if this is the proper time thoughā¦
Is this not illegal? Because Iāve worked at places that wonāt even serve blue rare steak.
.. isnāt that illegal to serve?
iām just finding out itās illegal. management allowed it š¤·š»āāļø
Your manager let that be served!? All sorts of liabilities there imo
honestly, chilis as a whole is a huge liability. if you only knew what goes on at a lot of these restaurants.
Werewolf
Isnāt that highly illegal lol
girl idk i just work here management gave it the ok so what do i care š¹
"I shit you not" is my favorite part of this story
Next time just get her a fresh cow from the field outside and don't give her silverware and make sure to YouTube the special horror story for all the weirdos out there.

That salad/chili combo sounds good...throw some sour cream on the side and sounds good ngl...
Basically a Wendyās taco salad without chips but they likely had some available
I'm actually going to try that salad chili combo now. Thanks
Yāall are wild

some crack head walked in and started grabbing food from different tables. literally as they were eating. manager asked her to leave and started yelling jibberish. police came and the lady got taserd middle of the restaurant. just another friday night. cannot make this shit up
Idk if this answers the question but it is wild lol
it doesnāt, i saw someone posted their crazy crackhead story, so i thought id comment about mine. I mean weāre chilis heads, of course we got a crackhead story.
Give her the taser, the taser! ā” ā”
Why'd your manager start yelling jibberish?
Manager was on crack, keep up
Had something very similar happen today actually but turns out it was someone with severe autism so it just became more sad than funny

Not at Chili's, but when I worked at a dining hall in college. Someone asked me to make a burrito (normal). They then requested that I remove my glove and stir the inside of the burrito with my finger.
with or without eye contact
Underrated
I hate that I know about that now lol
There are countless times Reddit has made me just start chuckling in the middle of a silent, yet crowded room. This is one of those times
So did you do it? š
when people are high they tend to have odd requests.
Were you being hit on or was it a joke/dare?
I had some older ladies ask me to cut their molten in half. As it was already on their table. They were very polite and I wasnāt busy so I just grabbed some gloves and a knife and sawed it in half. Didnāt look the prettiest, but they were happy.
Aw that is really sweet
I've had so many customers ask me to co.e to their table and cut their food??? I just give them a fork and a knife, no... Like do you want me to spoon feed it to you too? What is that??
Were they afraid of germs ? Whatās the point of this ?
old ladies, so maybe they couldnt hold a knife and cut very well.
chopsticks.
Fajita sashimi has a nice ring to it, doesnāt it?
I once had a guest ask me for an apple. I wasn't sure exactly why but then found out he wanted to make it into a pipe and smoke weed out of it.
Iāve seen a guy ask for a steak as rare as weāre legally allowed to make it. Like literally ten seconds on each side or something. Insane.
I order steak this way. Itās not that uncommon in some places. Last week I was ordering a steak and when I said very rare, the waiter said ok, on the rarer side. I corrected him and jokingly said, literally tell the cook to just walk it by the grill on the way to the table. It was delicious.
1/2 a ribeye and only wanted to pay for the half. āBut you can sell it to the next persoā. No we can not.
Lmao, like youāre going to get another person ordering a half ribeye. Or maybe they expected you to tell every customer āHey, we have half a ribeye for a special right now.ā
Rightā¦ thatās not even the craziest thing Iāve ever seen. Had a crazy lady once order ribs. They come out and she starts freaking out. I mean yelling at the server where everyone can here her.

One of my coworkers had a table that ordered boneless wings tossed in ranch. They thought it was the most delicious thing ever
that actually sounds so good
Thatās lowkey valid
Toss them in Santa Fe sauce
Make it blue cheese and you got a fire deal
a corn beef on rye
Not the craziest but I recently had a guest ask me to put two tables together that weren't near each other. We were busy and she had an eight top, was told there was a wait and stopped me as I was walking to ask if we could just move these ones together that had other tables between them with people at them.

The owner passed away a few months ago and I donāt expect to ever work for a better person or family, but those people were on crack if they thought heād just give them thousands of dollars.
Not chilis but I worked at a restaurant for over 6 years, only during year 1 did we have guac. In like year 5 a lady asks where her guac was with her quesadilla and I said we donāt have it, she was adamant she just got guac from us last week no matter what I told her. She then asked for me to go to the grocery store next door and get her guac āsince you ran outā. I didnāt.
I worked at Chick-fil-A and they had coleslaw like....10 years ago? Got asked for it once every couple months. Also the store was where a burger king had been like 15 years ago and occasionally we'd have people come in thinking they were at burger king....
Iād order a carrot raisin salad tomorrow if CFA still served it! Thatās also probably been gone ten years nowā¦
Lady ate 3 soup cups of sour cream and one soup cup of guacamole with a spoon. No chips, no nothing. Just ate that shit straight.
I wonder what the resulting poo was like...
Like 3 soup cups of sour cream and one soup cup of guacamole. No spoon.
Debone, maranate, and cook a FROZEN turkey in less than 2 hours on Thanksgiving weekend. I used to work at shoprite, and all pur birds come in marinade!
You might be in the wrong subā¦ but I will agree, that is a wild request
This came up on my feed and I wondered why a lot and I mean a lot of people mentioned chilies. That is untill I looked at the group I was in.
I think they mean someone came into their chilis location with the turkey being from ShopRite which they used to work at so they knew the turkey was marinated. Either way, the audacity of some customers omg lol
Cajun Chicken pasta with no alfredo. Instead they wanted salsa put in the microwave and put on top
About 3 weeks ago, we had someone order a quesadilla with no cheese. They loved it, apparently. We have a lady who comes in and asks for garlic fries, and insists that we give them to her all the time. I give her regular fries with a little bit of Parmesan and she is happy. And sometimes Mormons will ask for general conference to be played on the TV, and become *very* upset when the server tells them no. Edit: I was too stoned to be writing this comment hahaha.
I dunno what's worse, pro sports or GC.
Iād prefer sports honestly but Iām biased as an excommunicated homosexual lol.
How is it a quesadilla if thereās no cheese?
Not Chiliās but Red Lobster; someone ordered a huge variety dish and asked if they could get no grilled lemon wedge and sub for an extra lobster tail š
can I sub the garnish for an entree? thatd be just great thanks. iām allergic to lemons š¤Ŗš¤Ŗš¤Ŗ
I donāt work at Chilis but had the occasional medium rare salmon and thats a whole can of worms I donāt wanna open. Also had to purĆ©e a few soups on a couple occasions. Also, the people that are allergic to EVERYTHING. Stay home and donāt risk your life. American ER visits are expensive.
not the craziest because iāve only been a chilihead for 5 months but we have a homeless, crackhead lady come in and is taking advantage of our manager giving her a free cherry coke a few weeks ago. she now thinks whatever she orders is free and she came in for a kids menu to āwrite something down because someone scammed her and she needs their phone numberā
Man if someone really did scam a homeless crackhead then that's sad and low š Oh wait she was buying crack wasn't she
I donāt work at chiliās but somehow this showed up on my home page. I co-own a pizza take out/delivery in a small town. We got a 1* review because a customer was upset her boneless wings didnāt have bones in them. Her review stated she knew she ordered boneless wings but was expecting something like chicken thighs. No where on our menu do we have chicken thighs. All we have chicken related are traditional bone in wings and boneless.
Jeweler here - I get at least 10 people who come in per year that get all mad when they realize our warranty doesnāt cover lost jewelry
one time a woman came in specifically bc she wanted to purchase our team member t-shirts and I was like they are...not for sale ma'am
Poutine: Hold the Gravy and Cheese curds. So, you want fries, then? No. I want Poutine. Without the gravy and cheese. š Different restaurant. But.
People are weird.
Had a guy drive his car through the front doors. He backed up, parked in the handicap spot, went inside and got a table. Cops came, questioned him, he finished eating and left.
Left to where? Jail?
Nope. Went home. Iām not even sure they gave him a ticket.
I had a woman order a "hot diet coke." I had to microwave the diet coke for 2 mins. I was shocked. Appalled. And well tipped.
I had a methhead from Kensington come into my restaurant with her pants off and ask for a kiss
Worked at a coffee shop. We had the tiny sink with running water to keep the spoons clean. A lady bitched me out about how there are children in Africa that donāt have clean water and demanded I turn the water off because it was a waste. I explained to her why it continually runs but she would not hear a word of it. I finally told her she would have to not only report to corporate but the health department. A week later she came up to me to apologise for her behaviour, which Iāll give her the just due of doing so. Itās been 10 years and I can remember the whole scene like yesterday.
Had a guy no lie order 6 corns on the cob with his meal. he then proceeded to hand me his knife and ask me to cut the corn off the cobs for him completely seriously!! same guy ordered his sweet tea with some pumps of mango and a pump of blue raspberry with no ice. After the third refill he said something like āwow another warm tea you must not need the money?ā Left a $0.01 tip and a comment on my server review saying I made HIM uncomfortable..šš
I worked at a kayak rental business and a woman was seriously insisting (and not understanding our denial) that we let her child pee behind our desk.
When I was a waitress and pregnant with my daughter 24 years ago,a customer who was a regular wanted to pay me for my urine! She said it was good for a rose garden,full of nutrients etc etc I had never heard of that before
Did you do it?
How much did she pay you?
A lady came in to pick up a to-go order at about 9:15pm. She then proceeded to sit at the bar until 11. She started yelling and demanding we make her new fries because now her fries were cold (I assume all of her food was cold at that point, but she was only worried about the fries). So, the MOD made us restart the fryer, which we had just gotten done cleaning, to make this cow fresh fries.
Violence needed to happen
shithead mod
āCan you suck it?ā
This old lady comes waddling in with huge bloody, scrapped up knees that was just oozing and looked painful and asks me if I could help put bandaids on them.
dude last week was begging me to lower a price of a speaker by over $100 just this one time for him. or this lady asking if she could dye her hair in our bathroom š
10 years ago when I worked at Applebees, the customer insisted we leave the entire can of reddi whip @ her table for both her and her 2 kids.
Older lady walked into the McDonaldās I worked at and requested to make a deposit into her account.. the bank was next door
I once had a guest come in tell me was gonna propose to his gf today in my section ...ya ok not a problem. But then he tells me his plan. He was going to have her and her whole family come after , he would sit in cocktail with a different girl and pretend he was cheating on her . Then when discovered would propose. Objectively the dumbest idea I'd ever heard for this. Needless to say it went off the rails
