I overheard a lady say that the cheeseburger plain she ordered for her son had mustard, ketchup and pickles and that the regular cheeseburger she ordered for her daughter was plain. She wanted it corrected.

Well, I work at a place sort of similar to Panera. So it's not a true fast food place like McDonald's. We sell sandwiches, soups, salads, and personal size pizzas. But I still have people ask for hamburgers and french fries as if they're at McD's! Or, they'll understand that we have sandwiches, but still ask for fries for their side. Do you see a deep fryer anywhere?? Yeah, we don't have one so we don't have ANY fried foods (unless you count chips).
We have this huge menu that takes up the entire wall off to the side of the register, and people still walk in and ask "where's your menu?" or "do you guys have a menu somewhere?"
I had one lady who said she wanted to get the cheese pizza and add pepperoni to it...we have a pepperoni pizza on the menu.
A lady asked if we were open 24 hours a day...what kind of place like this is open 24 hours??? This isn't Waffle House!
A guy walked in and asked," so, how does this place work? Is it just a buffet or something?" Well, obviously he had never been there before, but still, there was clearly no buffet anywhere in the restaurant, so what the heck!
One time this girl who looked like she was at least 16 or so ordered a pepperoni pizza. Then after they got their food she and her mom both insisted that she had wanted the kids size pepperoni pizza. Like I was supposed to just know she wanted the kids' size. She was definitely old enough to where she needed to specify if that's what she wanted, because she clearly wasn't a child!
One time a lady ordered our "loaded potato" soup...then she brought it back and said, "I can't eat this, I'm vegetarian and I didn't know this had bacon in it!" What part of "loaded" did you not understand??

During a dirve thru at McDonald's, I asked for 3 number 5's w/o drinks. The guy who took my order gave me 5 number 5's w/ Sprite and fries and charged me $25. When I got mad and said "no drinks" a second time and "3 number 5's" he took back the Sprite and gave me 6 fries. So I got 3 Crispy Chickens w/ 6 fries.
Then at Taco bell, I heard a woman say, I want the Chalupas w/o the beef and got mad when the cashier said, "so you want the taco shell."

Wow, where do I begin... I do realize that many of these are not "fast food place" incidents, but I do believe they serve the same purpose. Enjoy!
-A man actually yelled at me for another customer's cell phone ringing too loudly.
-A woman got angry when her cell phone kept cutting out and I kept having to repeat "I'm sorry ma'am, you're still cutting out." She actually got disconnected, called back on the cell phone, got disconnected again, then FINALLY called from her house phone that she could've used the whole time.
-At one job I had, we required checks that customers wrote include a driver's license number. I asked to see one guy's license so I could copy the number on the check, he asked why, when it was indicated on a sign six inches to his left. :) Anyways, he then told me we didn't need the number. I replied "Yes sir, we need some sort of identification number, whether it be driver's license number or SSN (which I assume he DEFINITELY would not give away)." He took the pen out of my hand and wrote "NO I.D. REQUIRED" on the check and stormed out. I stood in utter shock for about 30 seconds. Shortly there after, my manager came over and asked what happened. I said "Don't ask."
-Time and time again, when I worked at Pizza Hut, it would never cease to amaze me at how many people would call an order into another pizza joint, then come there thinking that is where they ordered it from, argue with us that their order should be there. Then, when we ask what number they called, they would say a number OTHER THAN WHAT OURS WAS, and drive off PO'ed, embarrassed, and probably never coming back again. lol
-"I want a number one super-sized with a Diet Coke." Classic...'nough said.
-"Can I get that pizza delivered?" "The address? Hey, what's the address here? "Ummm, well, we're right behind the Hardee's." I then replied, "Sir, there's a whole neighborhood behind Hardee's."
-Another time I was delivering, and a guy got upset that we were too fast. I, of course, apologized and said that it wouldn't happen again. :)
-I always love it when it's my fault that the credit card does not go through.
-At Pizza Hut for our lunch buffet, we had the punch cards. I'm sure most all of you know what I'm talking about. Well, anyway, they were for M-F only, and every Sunday a couple came in and tried using them. I was always waiting on them and it became a Sunday tradition that I would have to explain that we don't accept or punch them on Sunday.

Where I used to work we took turns getting coffee at McDonald's. After ordering about 6 beverages and a couple sandwiches, the woman behind the counter asked me if the order was for here or to go. I was obviously by myself....

This isnt realy a fast food but at a deli that sold fried chicken.
On many occasions people would want a whole chicken,
2 legs 2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 ribs and one breast piece.
Over and over again people would ask how many legs does a chicken have.

I'm like many others---there are so many dumb things people ask. I worked in the food industry for over 3 years and one of the last places I worked, I remember this lady saying she wanted a whole wheat roll with her meal when you could look behind the glass and see the pan filled with nothing but what else? WHOLE WHEAT ROLLS!!!!

I might not have heard anything that absurd, but I did see some guys in a Guam Burger King order a Whopper without anything on it, which to me is insane, because the least tasty thing about Burger King is the meat or bun. The onions and tomatoes are pretty much all that is good about it..
