Bizarre Customer Encounters

1. Lady mad that we didn't have grass-fed salmon.

2. I was waiting on customer who had two credit cards out when they were paying,
so I asked “splitting 50/50?”
and the customer VERY angrily said “NO, we want it split in half!”

3. "What is eggplant? Chicken?"

4. Had a woman ask me what the catch of the day was
while pointing at the menu where it said ‘quiche of the day’.

5. I had someone order a chicken platter.
I asked them if they wanted it with one chicken breast or two.
They asked what's the difference.

and it was her first waitressing job, so we thought we would go eat at the restaurant where she was working and give her a big tip. When she came to take our order, my wife asked her what the Soup Du Jour was. She replied, "I think that's French for soup of the day".

Fast forward 25+years and she now has a Masters degree in Clinical Nursing and supervises two departments at our local hospital.

He asked would you like some Au Jus with the beef?

Guys says no thank you, I just got my glasses fixed.

Another time he asked what degree on the
Prime rib and a lady said, “Oh I just drove down from the Dells.”

I once worked in sales and got to know many others who had "seen it all". It made me think that a book was in order, but I never got around to it.

The perspective from the other side of the transaction would surprise quite a few and crack up the rest of us.
