Question

Answer 1

Working behind the fast food counter, a customer looking at the sandwich menu asked me "What's the difference between the chicken and the.......fish?"

Um, gee let me see, chickens don't swim?

Answer 2

The restaurant where I was dining was a family style, full service seafood restaurant. It was close to fine dining but just border line. I hear the customer over at the entrance from the bar ask the hostess..." Do you have a buffet here?" I felt like telling them can you get a clue!!

Answer 3

Well this isnt a specific thing that happened but everyone knows what Im talking about. I cant stand when waiters and waitresses are constantly coming back and asking if everything is ok!!! It only takes once. As if the food changes tastes or flavors......what is up with that???

Answer 4

My daughter and I went to a Red Lobster restaurant for dinner once. As is our standard custom, we always bring home our leftovers for our dog. Well, this time there must have been a communication break-down. When the waiter asked us if we wanted our leftovers, we said "yes". He must have not heard our reply or was day-dreaming. Anyway, he never returned to the table with our leftovers. He had tossed them. When we complained, he marched back into the kitchen and scooped up any and all plate-scrapping from a bin and brought it back to our table. He said, "I couldn't tell what food was yours so..." We decided to leave the food there.

I went into a restaurant in Alabama with my wife and the hostess asked us "how many"? The place was empty and there was no line and so I replied, "I don't know, I can't count that high either".

Answer 6

To mess with a waitress I ordered a diet water, she got a strange look on her face and said she would have to check. when she came back she told me me they only had bottled water or plain water.
At the end of the meal I told her they really should have diet water, she agreed and said it seems strange they have diet colas and lite beer but no diet water.

Answer 9

This one's my favorite, courtesy of a ditzy waitress I'd hired.

I was busy cooking one night and she came to the kitchen saying someone wanted to order the grilled ham. I'm like, OK we have it, what's the problem?

She looked at me and in her Valley Girl voice said "Um, they'd like it medium rare. Uh, like, can you do medium rare ham?"

I literally stopped what I was doing and just stared at her in bewilderment. I collected myself and said that the ham is fully cooked when it comes in. She said "Oh, like, it's not raw then??"

I shook my head and told her to tell the customer "Sure." Turns out he was just messing with her head.

It sure messed with mine that night! And now she's a lawyer. The mind boggles.

At a mom n' pop place in West Point, Alabama... ... ME:" I'm sorry, it's just a grilled cheese and chili, what's taking so long?" SERVER:" Oh it won't be long now, the cook was on break. " I left and did not pay for my coffee (five cups).
