What is the funniest complaint you have ever witness in a pub, bar or restaurant?

Answer 1

Busy Saturday night at a casual dining "steak house". Told next party that as soon as a table was available that they would be seated next. This party saw a table close to the hostess stand having coffee after dessert. This party asked to see the manager and tell the table to "move it". I was the manager and tried to explain to the impatient party how they would feel if I told them to "move it". They looked at me as if I was from Mars and started a tirade about how they know the owner. I then asked them how they knew George Smith. They said they were old friends. George Smith was a made-up name I invented. I called them on it. I told them they could wait for the next available table or leave. They left the server a 25% tip. They averted my eye as they left and I thanked them for coming to our restaurant.

Answer 3

Having run pubs for many years, the best is always when the complainer has to try to tell you your job, then HAS to inform you they are in the trade (oh! scary - not) and they would do things differently, then HAS to tell you they know the CEO of your company and will get you the sack!! Needless to say they are usually tipsy (to put it mildly) and I have never been sacked. Ive had.... This mash potato is not made from potatoes!! The beer is too cold!!! The soup is too hot!!! The chips are greasy!!!!! The lemonade is too fizzy etc etc etc
Customers!! lol

Answer 4

Not exactly a complaint. A group of us went to a newly opened Mexican restaurant here in Switzerland. Two of us ordered chili con carne and told the waiter that since we weren't Swiss (most Swiss aren't too keen on hot food) we would like it hot. One of the group ordered a fish dish, which took some time to cook. In the meantime another couple came in and ordered chili con carne and were served first. They started sweating and the man got up and went to the loo. When ours came, we tasted it and asked the waiter for the Tabasco. They had obviously given our hot chili to the other couple!

Answer 5

Two stories.

1. Very very large woman (I'm being very nice) complained that our booths were too small.

2. This was 25 plus years ago...it was really late after midnight, and I had worked a 12 hour shift and we had a $3,000 day - now that's a lot of hot dogs...I had been trying to get to the ladies room for over an hour, I finally made it and had just sat down, and one of my employees came in and said we had a problem. A very large woman was complaining that her footlong hotdog wasn't 12 inches long. All the way out I kept thinking I was going to ask her to see her tape measure. I got out and she was yelling and swearing and carrying on, I said to her "Lady you would be lucky if you got 12 inches in a year", and I turned and went back to the ladies room. I couldn't believe I did that!

Answer 6

In the brew pub I work at one night this guy got hammered at the bar and when he had to pay his tab at the end of the night, he asked us "why'd you guys make me get so drunkeder than I was before?" Then he bought two growlers, put them in his basket on his bike and swerved donw the side walk home. I guess it's not a complaint but it was hilarious, mabey you had to be there...

Answer 7

The diner had been waiting a long time for his meal and was on the point of walking out when the waiter appeared.
"I must apologise for the delay sir," said the waiter," but your fish will be coming in a minute."
Quick as a flash the diner replied coldly:"What bait are you using?"

Answer 8

I served an older gentleman an order of chicken wings, as I cleared his plate and asked how were the wings
He responded, "they were very tasty, but they had too many bones in them."

Once had a lady complain that the kalamata olives on her salad were not black they were purple and she wanted black olives. We replaced the offending olives with nice, black, tasteless, pizza olives and she was very happy.

Answer 9

a senior customer after visiting the ladies came up to me in my bar and said " Did you know there is a piece of chewing gum stuck to the door frame in last cubicle and it has been there for over six weeks"? to which I replied why didn't you remove it six weeks ago. what a sad existance ?!
