Answer 1

I'm a medical receptionist.
Once, a patient asked me how I keep from getting sick.
I said I didn't know, because people cough on me all the time.
He proceeded to lick all his fingers, and then put spit all over his charge slip and handed it to me.
He wasn't laughing.
I took it by a dry edge, dropped it on the floor, and sprayed Lysol all over it .. then called my supervisor.
The clinic sent him a letter telling him to find a new doctor!

Then there was the patient who came in screaming about how the doctor was trying to kill him ... but that's another story!

Answer 2

I worked at a Steak n Shake on 3rd shift for 8 years....
I once saw a 16 year old girl get mad at a 60 something year old lady sitting across the dining room from her for something she though she heard her say. The 16 year old walked over and hit the lady with her purse and the lady then launched a glass ketchup bottle at the 16 year old's head. It hit her, bounced off and broke all over the floor, and the 16 year old had a huge red spot on her forehead. They all took off before the police could get there. I thought the whole thing was hilarious!!!

Answer 3

On my first day of work at a restaurant (which also happened to be Black Friday). I meet a woman who tells me she is a regular and the "Best Customer" the restaurant has. I introduce myself as the new manager, and she proceeds to tell me that she wants me to change the dark wood tables, the curtains, the carpet, the menu, the server uniforms. Basically, turn it into a whole other restaurant. I told her that while I certainly appreciated hearing her thoughts, I wasnt sure I was going to be able to get all that done. I was the manager, not god, after all. I never saw her again.

In another restaurant, there was a strange noise coming out of the men's room. A man coming out said something about "Sick" as he walked out. I thought he meant someone was getting sick in there. As a female, I had to knock on the door to let the guest know I was coming in to see if they were alright. Unfortunately, it was two guests who were too busy doing it on the sink area, to hear my announcement, and as the restroom door was poorly placed, diners in one area of the restaurant got to see the whole show.
I had another guest who always had a snooty "air" about her, call me to the table to insist to me that we must take pommes frittes off our menu because the "smell of the french fries was wafting towards her table and she wouldn't put up with it!"

Answer 4

So one summer while I was home from school I took a job as a desk clerk in the evenings at a hotel, and it had the only reasonably sized conference room in town so we had a lot of overnight business always on the go type of people. I received a fax for a room one evening about 10:15 and it was common procedure to page the persons room and in from them of their messages/faxes so I called. The gentleman( and I use the term loosely) proceeds to scream at me that he would be right f*ckin there and slams down the receiver. Three minutes later he comes storming down the hallway to the desk in only his pajama bottoms and when I hand him the copy, he yanks it out of my hand so abruptly that one side of the staple gets stuck in my finger and rips it out of the paper. For some reason this only irritates him more. He demands the stapler and I slide it across the desk to him and turn around to grab a tissue for my bleeding finger and he starts to walk away but I ask for my stapler back and turn to answer the phone at the same time. he then flings the stapler back at me and it ended that night with a trip to the hospital for a different type of staples for me and ride in a cop car for him.

Answer 5

It was a slow night at my restaurant, except for a party in the banquet room, so it was empty in the main dining room. This guy comes in, dressed all shabby, and seemed weird. He ordered a cup of coffee. OK. Then he asked what he could afford with $2. I said a cup of soup. So he got a cup of soup. The waitress came back to me and said he wanted another cup of soup, and been counting out change and he had more than two dollars. Meanwhile, he reeked! He stunk! More BO than you can ever imagine. To top it off, while he was alone he started singing loudly to himself. He hung around drinking coffee for a few hours. Meanwhile, the party was going to leave and I started thinking maybe he's out to rob the place as soon as they pay. So I took the phone to the bathroom and called 911.

A cop came in for a "regular checkup", and asked to be seated near the guy. I asked if I could get him anything and he just said water. I had been instructed by the cop to ask him to leave at closing. So I did. He started swaying around. He had asked me where I lived (I lied), the cop escorted him out. We locked the doors right after that (no customers) cleaned up and got the heck out of there.

Turns out I heard from the cop the next day that he just sat in his car with his head against the wheel and they had to ask him to move along. And they thanked me for calling them.

Eeeeeeerie.

Answer 6

There are just too many to narrow down. My most recent unbelievable story is a table that tried to take his alcohol out of the restaurant, which is against the law. He mixed it with is gatorade he brought in..he ordered vodka. He did not finish it and then tried to take it. The manager took it from him, and then the customer proceeded to come back to take the dollar bill they left me for a tip! (Their bill was 55 dollars)

I have many others, but this was the first I thought of.

Also- a man hit on me with his wife and kids there!!!

Answer 7

oh god, which one should I tell? I have been a server/bartender/hotel worker for over ten years.......

served some girls at an all night place I worked at for awhile, took her order, gave them food, all with this girls tit hanging out of her tank top.

seen many arguments

had a party of six come in eat, finish their meal then ask if I could take a picture...I got into place with the camera, they started to pose and one of the ladies bent down and got her little dog she had stashed there to pose in the picture with them. A FREAKIN DOG IN A RESTAURANT!!!!

Answer 9

ok, customer comes in and asks what color are our plates, i told him white, he says oh good i can't have anything green it freaks me out! so he sees that the silverware is wrapped and of course it has a green paper band around it, i couldn't just take the band off for him, it was now contaminated, i went to the kitchen and grabbed him unwrapped untouched by green utensils,he orders the lunch special and of course there are green beans, HE ATE THEM! i don't get it?

Answer 10

my mom is a paralegal and whenever clients get disrespectful she screams at them - "WE HAVE A NO SHlT RULE HERE AND YOU JUST BROKE IT! GET OUT OR I'LL CALL THE COPS!" Her boss thinks its hilarious and encourages her to do it more often!
