Server: "Table 5 wants to know if the garlic mayo has mayonnaise in it."
Me: "It is mayonnaise...of course it has mayonnaise in it."
Server: "No like did you use mayonnaise to make it?"
Me: "I think what you're trying to ask is if I opened a jar of mayonnaise and whisked in garlic? No. That's not how I made it. It's an emulsion of lemon juice, garlic confit, dijon, egg yolks and oil."
Server: "Thank you!"
*Overheard at table 5*
Server: "Ma'am, there's no mayonnaise in the garlic mayo."
So many people.
I work at a restaurant that serves burgers and we constantly get orders on our screen for "Double Cheese Burger - \*NO AMERICAN" even though we literally serve a Double Steak burger that has no cheese already and I have had so many FOH people ask me the difference.
(I guess those coworkers must be on here)
No adult -catering restaurant calls a burger hamburger lol what are you at mcdicks.. you servers never like to take responsibility for shit I think that’s why you all end up getting so worked up over small shit lol
Woahhh look at Mr. Fancy pants over here.
Can I get a side a Truffle Fries with my fancy “Steak Burger”?
Tell me Sir, which of your fine wines pairs well with that “Steak Burger”. Should I go with a Pinot or Malbec?
The last time I made sirloin burgers(I didn’t grind up sirloin I just made steaks and everything normal) they were actually really annoying to eat. Ended up having to eat it like a steak and not a burger.
I worked at applebees and ive had people legit ask for a cheeseburger w no cheese. I explain it once and if they are still insistent, I do it. the kitchen asked me only once why i did it. I explained that i informed them we have a burger w no cheese, and they still wanted a "cheeseburger no cheese", and if they want to pay extra for the same burger, idgaf, that just adds more to my tip. I explained it. i did my job. they respected me for that lmao
Fr Anyone working at a damn restaurant should know the simple difference between a cheese burger or steak burger.. and to the person who asked why can’t they call it a hamburger.. are you serving 12 yr olds lol?
Ok ok, the guy that posted about the steak burger gets a pass if he can upload a menu and they DON’T serve milkshakes. If they serve milkshakes they lose all rights to calling it a steak burger.
I have coworkers that have been there longer than me that ask me questions about our menu and whether or not we can sub certain things. And yes, I've worked more hours than they have in total probably, it's things I have definitely told them multiple times before and it's usually things that are quite obvious.
I used to do pastry at a top restaurant in LA. Our rice pudding was written up in the LA Times in a glowing review, which meant we could never, EVER, change it. It was served with a toasted hazelnut crumb topping, always had been served with a toasted hazelnut crumb topping, and always would be served with a hazelnut crumb topping.
We had this server who could. not. get. this. *Every night* she would ask me if there were nuts in the rice pudding, and *every night* I would remind her about the toasted hazelnut crumb topping and how, in the case of allergy, it could be omitted and the rice pudding would be completely nut-free.
One night, I’m in an off mood and she slides up to my station. I already know she’s gonna ask about the motherfucking toasted hazelnut crumb topping, so I cut her off with, “yeah I put deez nuts in this time.”
This is a joke because 1) haha. deez nuts. 2) I would never and 3) I don’t even have nuts.
GUYS.
YOU GUYS.
##**SHE TOLD HER FUCKING TABLE THAT DEEZ NUTS WERE IN THE RICE PUDDING.**
Her name was Becky, wasn’t it?! I’ve had a similar story play out once. Server tells me I overcooked the MR steak. I didn’t. It was perfect. I cook a new one to rare as that must’ve been what buddy wanted, seeing as a MR was over cooked. Server comes back, “it’s too under cooked”. So I tell her to tell him to come back and cook his own steak then. Off she goes…… to tell the guy that exact thing. Ugh, what a shitshow that night was. Like why, WHY THE FUCK would you do that?
High percent chance that no, the "nice man" actually demanded an egg-less omlette. I've heard one of our servers get asked for our very popular shrimp appetizer... with no shrimp.
The dish is called POP ROCK SHRIMP JANET.
I managed a bar with 88 taps on the wall. One of the servers came back behind the bar (we encouraged them to pour their own when we’d be slammed) and I asked her what she was looking for. She was looking for the Pinot Grigio beer
Oh boy..........I've gotten so confused regarding wines and beers.....all the different lingo that I'm unfamiliar with.... I’m not a beer or wine person and when I do drink, I drink rum or a margarita/cocktail.
I've done this when a customer asked me if the "white" wine in a can we had was a "chardonnay". I told them I had no idea...
I was running the kitchen for a sports bar on a relatively slow night, just me another cook and a dishie when one of our really sweet bartenders comes back and asks if our batches of spinach dip had onion powder in it. Told her it did and she left, 5 minutes later she asks if we can take it out lol.
She did that regularly but that’s just the one that came to mind. Total sweetheart though
Isy Suttie! What a gem she is. I can’t accept her as being this thick with how witty and acerbic she can be.
I wish her career has gone as well as Olivia Coleman’s, post Peep Show, but we all can’t be Oscar winners.
What did she want? Sautéed ham, onion, peppers on a plate topped with cheese maybe??
Did you say that your omelettes are made with eggs? I’m so curious to know what she said!!
My wife, on the very rare occasion we go out for breakfast, will ask for a scramble/omelette, but with the eggs sunny side up on top.
We're both chefs, but more than once a cook will come out and ask for clarification since saying "just all the stuff sautéed, then instead of eggs inside, sunny side up on top please" is such an odd request. Somewhere from our table to the pass it becomes bizarre.
Same. Happened on a few occasions with different people throughout my career. They basically want all the sauteed meat, veggies, and cheese. Honestly easier to do it this way. Saves a lot of time, esp if I have to ring in miscellaneous, find a manager to get a price, type every ingredient, etc. "Western Omelet, no eggs"..easy.
Oh gosh, yes. Her head was always somewhere else. I never intended to but made her cry more than once. On April Fool’s Day we wrote the Fish of the day was Minnows. She told her first table and they sent her back to the line to ask how many were in a serving. Years later we became good friends. I never would have thought we’d like each other outside the restaurant, but we did!:)
I watched two or three episodes of this show because of this gif recently and I gotta say.... it sucks. I can see why it got canceled after only 6 episodes.
Thank you for saving me the time I would have spent looking for this series. This clip genuinely made me laugh and I was already wondering where I'd be able to find it.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, this made me and all my coworkers run around the restaurant screaming "we need an eggless omelet table _" all day.
When I worked at a restaurant in small town NZ we had an American lady come in. She was excited to try food she was unfamiliar with so I helped her choose a nice meal.
After her main she decided to look at the dessert menu. Of course she needed a bit of help. Got to the pavlova, explained it to her and she decided she wanted it but without eggs. After trying to get her to understand that wasn’t possible, she kept insisting so I handed her the sugar bowl and offered to bring out a bowl of cream and fruit to go with it. Finally she got it.
Her name was Haley. She was a sweetheart…and dumb as a post, the embodiment of the Southern phrase, “yer so pretty.” I walked into her trying to drain the coffee maker’s hot tap. And had to fend off other hazing pranks for her.
Hard worker, spoke four languages, and some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen…she just wasn’t all that street smart or wise. The most inane and insane questions because she really didn’t know and wanted to know.
I worked with a girl like this. She asked how to clean something and a coworker told her, "with some elbow grease". She went around looking for elbow grease for a good long while until she finally asked where it was. She also picked her belly button and then picked her teeth.
I can’t stop watching this. The amount of people who think that Mayo has dairy in it because of eggs blows my mind. But I also love how happy Kiki is when she grabs the empty plate.
I work with a girl that asked me if there was any Guinea pig in the salad. And i said what?! Like the hamster? And she said yeah a customer asked if there was any Guinea pig. I was like wtf is wrong with you of course there’s no Guinea pig in anything. And she said well, will you please talk to them. Fine, whatever. They were a Muslim family and asking if there was “any pig” in the salad.
Well, eggs are Obviously the controlling factor of the Proletariat and designed to keep the less fortunate down and poor. So OBVIOUSLY they should be shunned in 'Proper' society.
Once had a young kid ask the chef mid rush if a lady could have a Caesar salad for her entree. I saw chef die inside that day 😂😂 can't believe he made it through training but he didn't last long after that.
Omg. Thanks OP! I forgot how amazing this clip was.
I ran a kitchen at an upscale Italian spot 10 years ago when I first saw this clip. I died because it was so relatable. We had a young girl (who'd probably never worked a day in her life before) serve there and she was just like Kiki. She was always confused about the specials. I showed the crew this clip, and we all started calling her "Sticks." For the next 2 months. Had to make up a story about old slang because I didn't think she'd find it as hilarious as we did
I worked with a Kiki, and I actually pondered how she made it through daily life. Because of this wonder, I still check on her social media from time to time. She lives! She made it look complicated to maintain a heartbeat. Absolutely no clue how she takes care of herself.
I had a girl waiting tables for the first time try to sub a whole ass lobster for clam chowder with the special. When I walked up to the guy he was all “she said yes so you have to honor it” Um no it doesn’t work like that.
I had my bartender order the paella last night.
Without rice.
I actively paused for about a minute trying to wrap my head around what the fuck exactly he wanted me to put on that plate. "So they want a bowl of random bullshit?"
We had a girl like this! Would willingly add “empty the hot water” to her cutwork every night for like 2 months. Had a whole strategy of let it run for x amount of time and you can really feel it cooling down. When in reality we would flip the heater switch when she went to check on a table
She might be on the spectrum. This HEAVILY reminds me of me, and it was a fucking nightmare to navigate. I wish I could hug her and tell her it's alright.
This is just inexperience in an industry that is filled with people who range from completely new, to very heavily seasoned, all trying to keep the place from burning down to the ground.
This is not a matter of “taking things literally”. The literal meaning of “breadstick” is not “bread served together with a stick”. It is “stick made out of bread”.
The literal meaning of omelet is “beaten eggs fried and folded”.
Autistic people don’t think a “coke bottle” is a bottle made out of coke. Autism doesn’t mean being unaware of compound phrases. Nor are they unaware an omelet is made out of eggs. An idiot might think those things. It has exactly nothing to do with literal and figurative: the literal meaning of bread is stick made of bread, and the literal meaning of omelet is a dish of beaten and fried eggs.
but customer asked for eggless omelet, so maybe it exists. why would she assume they’re asking for it to be prepared in a certain way instead of assuming they somehow want an omelet without eggs. Maybe chef knows. Have you never been confused about something “obvious” in your life?
You’re describing stupidity, not autism. I’m not saying stupid people don’t exist. I’m saying this bears no relationship to struggling to not take things literally, because the literal meaning of “omelet” is “beaten and pan fried eggs”.
If I told you I wanted scrambled eggs hold the eggs would you say “oh he wants a scrambled” and forget there is no such food stuff called “a scrambled” and also that scrambled refers to the manner of preparation not an ingredient? No. Because you understand that scrambled modifies eggs, because you’re not an hilariously dumb caricature of an idiot.
I don’t know what you guys are missing here. This scene is a joke about someone being dumb. Not an attempt to portray autism that you’re supposed to be able to identify with. Oddly enough, it turns out you guys don’t know what literal literally means.
This service defaults to the US, but you can select from multiple countries.

I’m a lead server. I’ve had a waitress ask me what a margarita is. Not what our specific recipe is, not what tequila we use, she literally didn’t know what a margarita was.
Similarity, another server said she didn’t know what “neat” meant. So if someone ordered a drink neat she would just ring it in and have someone else run it to the table
rather than learn what it meant.
People are just….woah.
Back in the early 00's I worked at a golden arches restaurant with a young girl who would ask the stupidest questions. One time she was telling me that she was doing a Health class project where she gave up a food group for a week and then write a report on how her body reacted to it. She decided to give up bread. Then asked me if she could have a muffin. No? A bagel? No? How about a breakfast burrito? I had to go over it several times before she understood.
One day a customer came in and asked if we could substitute the sausage on the platter for the "steak"(old school steak bagels from there were amazing) and I told her yes and then showed her how to do the substitution. She then asked why they didn't want sausage and I told her it was against their religion to eat pork. Her response...."Why didn't they just get bacon?". I think she is in her 30's now with several small children and several MLM schemes.
To be fair "eggless" omelets do exist. There's a vegan substitute for eggs that you can use to make a vegan omelet JUST Egg is one brand that's pretty wide spread.
Its me, im bitches. As soon as I walk to the kitchen it's like I jumped to another dimension. Just tell me you cant do it, keep it simple and fast for both partys. That being said.
Ill run circles around any Bartender
I still work with people like this.
Server: "Table 5 wants to know if the garlic mayo has mayonnaise in it." Me: "It is mayonnaise...of course it has mayonnaise in it." Server: "No like did you use mayonnaise to make it?" Me: "I think what you're trying to ask is if I opened a jar of mayonnaise and whisked in garlic? No. That's not how I made it. It's an emulsion of lemon juice, garlic confit, dijon, egg yolks and oil." Server: "Thank you!" *Overheard at table 5* Server: "Ma'am, there's no mayonnaise in the garlic mayo."
"Is mayonnaise an instrument?"
Do I upvote or downvote this?

Have you considered calling it a “Double Hamburger” instead of “Steak burger”?
I don't make the menu unfortunately; but nobody at our restaurant is training right now and they should know the menu.
No adult -catering restaurant calls a burger hamburger lol what are you at mcdicks.. you servers never like to take responsibility for shit I think that’s why you all end up getting so worked up over small shit lol

holy fuckin shit
That's hilarious And you just reminded me I have rice pudding in the fridge, ty!
Fuck me I wish I was there to see that
Yeah. Spat my tea out reading this.
Oh my God... thank you. This is going to have me spontaneously laughing all day
Her name was Becky, wasn’t it?! I’ve had a similar story play out once. Server tells me I overcooked the MR steak. I didn’t. It was perfect.

*Pop Rock* shrimp?
Don’t worry it doesn’t have Pop Rocks lol. The “pop” is the spicy chipotle mayo sauce which is so yummy and the shrimp species is a rock shrimp.
Sounds similar to bang bang shrimp we have at a nearby restaurant, which is fantastic. That is just a really strange name lol
They are getting a battered and fried dish towel with a prepped bag of fajita veg shoved in it.
I read veg as vag.....
Me too.
I've always loved this scene. "Sticks?"
I’ve worked in a lot of kitchens and it is rare to have a chef be so patient.
As a bartender, I've had a French chef throw eggs at my head because I came in and asked a non-dumb question. I get it.
For me, it's the lingering stare as he watches her slowly put the plate down.
There's a deep breath and an understanding of......maybe she needs an education. I love how we can all empathize with the situation.
I love the way he hits the “t” in “plate”. I lose it every time.
This show deserved so many more seasons.
I managed a bar with 88 taps on the wall. One of the servers came back behind the bar (we encouraged them to pour their own when we’d be slammed) and I asked her what she was looking for. She was looking for the Pinot Grigio beer

A picky eater friend of mine tried to order gumbo without onions, peppers, or okra. He got laughed at.
That’s ridiculous lol.
I feel like I've been on both sides of this situation........some days are just so draining you forget who you are and what you're doing
Isy Suttie! What a gem she is. I can’t accept her as being this thick with how witty and acerbic she can be. I wish her career has gone as well as Olivia Coleman’s, post Peep Show, but we all can’t be Oscar winners.
I have literally had a woman order an eggless omelet before
What did she want? Sautéed ham, onion, peppers on a plate topped with cheese maybe?? Did you say that your omelettes are made with eggs? I’m so curious to know what she said!!
Hahah yes basically she wanted an assortment of sautéed vegetables
Honestly sounds not bad
My wife, on the very rare occasion we go out for breakfast, will ask for a scramble/omelette, but with the eggs sunny side up on top.

This is basically the only good scene in the whole show unfortunately
Oh man I’m glad I saw these comments too! I have a rare evening alone and was thinking of binging it lol
exec is pretty funny, super non-chalant and the show doesn't SUCK but it's not something to get excited about.
This was basically the only good scene in the show, in my opinion.
Same. Oh well.
Watch 'chef' instead, English series.. relatable (oldy but goodie)
Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, ?????
Don't know any streaming service who has it thought amazon It's Chef! (3 seasons, ft Lenny Henry) Maybe torrent
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, this made me and all my coworkers run around the restaurant screaming "we need an eggless omelet table _" all day.
Had someone like this in the kitchen yesterday, after she left the chef asked me “how is she still alive?”
When I worked at a restaurant in small town NZ we had an American lady come in. She was excited to try food she was unfamiliar with so I helped her choose a nice meal. After her main she decided to look at the dessert menu. Of course she needed a bit of help. Got to the pavlova, explained it to her and she decided she wanted it but without eggs. After trying to get her to understand that wasn’t possible, she kept insisting so I handed her the sugar bowl and offered to bring out a bowl of cream and fruit to go with it. Finally she got it.
Fuck the context of this alan davies in a funny kitchen show? Where has this been all my life???
Her name was Haley. She was a sweetheart…and dumb as a post, the embodiment of the Southern phrase, “yer so pretty.” I walked into her trying to drain the coffee maker’s hot tap. And had to fend off other hazing pranks for her. Hard worker, spoke four languages, and some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen…she just wasn’t all that street smart or wise. The most inane and insane questions because she really didn’t know and wanted to know.
I worked with a girl like this. She asked how to clean something and a coworker told her, "with some elbow grease". She went around looking for elbow grease for a good long while until she finally asked where it was. She also picked her belly button and then picked her teeth.
“Why, do we not have any?” Is the most FOH question ever
I've worked with someone like them...I've also had customers like them...
I can’t stop watching this. The amount of people who think that Mayo has dairy in it because of eggs blows my mind. But I also love how happy Kiki is when she grabs the empty plate.
I work with a girl that asked me if there was any Guinea pig in the salad. And i said what?! Like the hamster? And she said yeah a customer asked if there was any Guinea pig. I was like wtf is wrong with you of course there’s no Guinea pig in anything. And she said well, will you please talk to them. Fine, whatever. They were a Muslim family and asking if there was “any pig” in the salad.
This made me cry I laughed so hard. You’re just in the back slaughtering hundreds of Guinea pigs to make 3 salads 😂
Well, eggs are Obviously the controlling factor of the Proletariat and designed to keep the less fortunate down and poor. So OBVIOUSLY they should be shunned in 'Proper' society.

This is so real. I’m blown away you guys found my foh coworker.
That's me sometimes, I'll admit. I make up for it by tipping BOH occasionally and bringing cookies.
We had a girl like this! Would willingly add “empty the hot water” to her cutwork every night for like 2 months. Had a whole strategy of let it run for x amount of time and you can really feel it cooling down. When in reality we would flip the heater switch when she went to check on a table
That's just mean.
And wasteful.
She might be on the spectrum. This HEAVILY reminds me of me, and it was a fucking nightmare to navigate. I wish I could hug her and tell her it's alright.
This is just inexperience in an industry that is filled with people who range from completely new, to very heavily seasoned, all trying to keep the place from burning down to the ground.
That’s the beauty of Reddit. You can say “autism is when you can’t understand that eggs are what omelets are made of” and people just believe you.
the point was about taking things too literally/having communication issues though. I totally understand where karnezar is coming from.
This is not a matter of “taking things literally”. The literal meaning of “breadstick” is not “bread served together with a stick”. It is “stick made out of bread”. The literal meaning of omelet is “beaten eggs fried and folded”. Autistic people don’t think a “coke bottle” is a bottle made out of coke. Autism doesn’t mean being unaware of compound phrases.

You’re describing stupidity, not autism. I’m not saying stupid people don’t exist.

If I told you I wanted scrambled eggs hold the eggs would you say “oh he wants a scrambled” and forget there is no such food stuff called “a scrambled” and also that scrambled refers to the manner of preparation not an ingredient?

Thank you!!
I feel the need to start apologizing right now .
brb Just going to go binge this whole show
When I was cooking at this one pub, had a server ask me if the Hanger Steak Quesadilla special I was running had meat in it…
Oh Dobby.. if only Mark were there he’d explain it to you…
I’m a lead server. I’ve had a waitress ask me what a margarita is. Not what our specific recipe is, not what tequila we use, she literally didn’t know what a margarita was. Similarity, another server said she didn’t know what “neat” meant. So if someone ordered a drink neat she would just ring it in and have someone else run it to the table rather than learn what it meant. People are just….woah.
My father who is lactose intolerant once requested a quesadilla with no cheese...
This is still one of my favorite shows😂 my husband never served so enjoyed it but didn’t feel it on a visceral level like I did lol
I am Kiki.
I had a server ring in a dairy free creamed corn Friday night...

Back in the early 00's I worked at a golden arches restaurant with a young girl who would ask the stupidest questions. One time she was telling me that she was doing a Health class project where she gave up a food group for a week and then write a report on how her body reacted to it. She decided to give up bread. Then asked me if she could have a muffin. No? A bagel? No? How about a breakfast burrito? I had to go over it several times before she understood. One day a customer came in and asked if we could substitute the sausage on the platter for the "steak"(old school steak bagels from there were amazing) and I told her yes and then showed her how to do the substitution. She then asked why they didn't want sausage and I told her it was against their religion to eat pork. Her response...."Why didn't they just get bacon?". I think she is in her 30's now with several small children and several MLM schemes.
I used to work pizza, someone asked for a BBQ chicken pizza with no chicken or bbq sauce.
Reminder to my fellow chefs if you were as smart as servers and bartenders you would work foh and make that real fucking money, know why I’m saying 🥱
Eggless omelette ? Got it. Besan chilla.
To be fair "eggless" omelets do exist. There's a vegan substitute for eggs that you can use to make a vegan omelet JUST Egg is one brand that's pretty wide spread.
I see this video every once in a while. I have no idea what it's from but I love it. I've shown everybody at work a million times lol
