Is it autism?
Andrew Rivera
Remember, don't concern yourself with what others like to eat and don't be concerned about what others think about what you are consuming. So long as you enjoy your food, have no worries! Your life will be much happier that way.
Jack Morales
It's either a fear of trying new things or they've tried dishes like yours and don't like them. Deal with it.
The chicken strips one might be legit retarded, though, trying to order shit that's not on the menu.
Parker Gomez
Just think of it as an opportunity to use up your junk ingredients that otherwise would have been wasted, while still getting paid for it.
Zachary Collins
yeah, you have autism, op.
Gavin Robinson
Wow an actual chef
Mason Hughes
>It's either a fear of trying new things or they've tried dishes like yours and don't like them. Deal with it. No. No, OP doesn't have to deal with anything. The two retards do. Don't like what the restaurant is serving - don't fucking go there! Refuse substitutions and be rid of 95% of the scum. Your normal, working, behaved adult guests will thank you for it.
Chase Ortiz
What kind of chef can't make chicken strips? Are you retarded?
Also none of those substitutions are very bizarre. Just swapping around some veggies. Sounds like you're a control freak
Jonathan Jones
>Refuse substitutions and lose 95% of your customers. Your normal, working, behaved adult guests will thank you for it but fail to keep your restaurant afloat.
Nicholas Torres

Nathan Turner
I'm allergic to mushrooms.
Oliver Hill
Cook me what I want and I'll pay you for it. Otherwise fuck off and get a real job.
Ryan Russell
Genuinely curious, are there any substitutions or variations from the menu that don't piss chef's off?
Lincoln Moore
Don't worry, it's only the asshole chefs who have a problem taking orders. And they tend to be vocal, giving a skewed impression.
Levi Williams
Lol this fucking manchild
Chase Long
t. cashier
Blake King
No, entitled fucks think people want THEIR food
Evan Perry
If you want something specific don't go to a restaurant that does not serve it. That is why most restaurants have a menu out front.
Caleb Powell
Or what? There are two possibilities.
>we don't have that, so no >we have that, so okay
You lose nothing by asking.
Levi Carter
Before manchildren come in >Dammit, this filet and that chicken breast have been in the cooler too long. I'll have to throw them out! What a waste, since I wouldn't dare serve this to my discerning customers!
Ethan Gomez
basically this
customer's always right lrn2business
Liam Barnes
Sure kid
Charles Morgan
checked
i am but I disagree customer is always right shit. was just out to dinner with senpai and another senpai. their manlet, who ordered a $30 steak rare, it came, looked rare enough to me. he complained it was overcooked and they brought another. it was fucking blue and he was happy. he was wrong with what he ordered. but when they offered him the overcooked steak to take home as well he jumped at it. how is it ok if its cooked wrong but its free and how is he going to unovercook it? i came to the conclusion he's just a piece of shit.
tl;dr The customer is not always right.
Adrian Martin
cause you see, repeat business is good for businesses. That will not occur with refusing a customer's requests. You gain more money in the long run be making people happy than by making them angry.
Super Simple Stuff.
Charles Powell
>but I disagree customer is always right shit because you're not a business owner
the customer always right doesn't mean he is literally right, it just means make him happy so he comes back and spends more money. what's a slab of meat if he comes with his friends and orders another dinner?
Isaiah Lee
unfortunately the cunts heard the phraise and didn't grasp the spirit of it, just that they can scream it to get their own way, and fuck over every non-autistic person in the queue with their shit.
Xavier Fisher
I order off-menu at this Japanese resturant occasionally. They have katsu don on the lunch menu, but not on the dinner menu but I'll still ask for it anyways.
Do you think they hate me?
Wyatt Russell
Probably
Robert James
Yes. "The customer is always right" was a Selfridge's advertising slogan. Not a store policy, not a way of thinking, not a law of nature. The VFW I washed dishes at in high school had a sign that said "The customer is always right and we get to decide if you're still a customer." Best way to say it, imo.
Levi Rodriguez
Thinking more on it, they more then likely do. They offer soup or salad with their meals but they say you can't have a soup for soup-based menu items (udon, soba, ect ect).
I ordered a sukiyaki to split with a friend, and was told I couldn't get soup with it by the waitress. Kinda puzzled by it, but I let it slide but after talking it over more I asked another passing waitress if that was true. She stammered a bit, but said she'd get me a soup.
Not five minutes later, i could hear the waitress saying, " I asked her (meaning the wife/co-owner of the place), and she said no soup" "I knew it!"
I got douche chills and quit going for a couple months.
James Moore
>going again at all If I go to one place and I get the vaguest hint they're fucking with me I leave forever and tell everyone who asks not to go there.
Austin Lee
I don't see it like that, maybe having them talk about it outloud like that was a bit much, but I felt like the douche for dragging a second waitress into it.
Dominic Morgan
I love you
Jaxson Reyes
If some cunt orders tenders off menu and he gets them and dosen't like them because they aren't breaded the 'right' way. They coukd review your restaurant and say his food was shit because the salt in it didn't burn his mouth the way he likes. In this case doing want the customer wants hurts your business. 'Customer is always right' is a saying only tards take serious.
Noah Evans
Understanding other people's way of thinking isn't really Veeky Forums's strong suit.
Justin Ortiz
It only pisses of the pretentious ones. Most don't give a shit.
Eli Phillips

Gabriel Myers
>good friend visits from out of state >its valentines day, so I send them to a nice restaurant that's been featured in food magazines >Later ask him what he got >"well, It's not really really the kind of food I eat" >"I got the chicken burger" >the next day I wake up >they wake up shortly after >before I can even offer to make them breakfast, he has a jar of cold Tostidos cheese dip hes about to eat >I heat up the cheese dip >go to a diner place that's good but may serve "the kind of food he eats" >menu has phillys, rubens, etc. >he gets a burger >That night I make fajitas seared on the grill and cooked to a perfect medium-medium rare >his gf "oh my god user, it's still raw" >mfw I realize that during their entire stay, he only ate burgers and pizza
What's also annoying as fuck is how much fucking marijuana they smoked. They smoked themselves retarded every fucking day to the point they couldn't have any kind conversation other than "lol dude that's funny". We also tried skiing. His gf completely pussed out because "it's SO fast" and he was almost equally as much of a vagina. By the second day, I was wondering why I'm even friends with these fucking morons.
David Watson
that's the best way to do it.
Jaxon Perry
>I'm allergic to fruits
Colton Watson
I knew a guy who had issues with acidic fruit, a little was alright, but a couple of oranges could make his gums bleed.
Nathaniel Wood
It's a restaurant. The cook isn't going to spend 20mins to make things just for you.
Dominic Garcia
If 95% of your customers are autistic neets you've already lost. Better cut your losses, fold and seek other employment. Functioning restaurant don't survive on trash and fruit baskets. Eat something without mushrooms in it then, fucktard. The waitress will walk you through the menu. Or the door - choose wisely. This ↑. Understand this, you fedora wearing cheetofingers.
Evan Rodriguez
>Functioning restaurant don't survive on trash and fruit baskets If they sold them at a huge markup, they would.
Dylan Cook
they're probably allergic to the things they rejected
you just dont wanna do your job you stupid cunt. You should've just sent them a note saying "I am an asshole" and they would've left and told their friends not to eat there either. What a moron lol. Do you care about doing a good job? You posted here thinking people will approve of your autism? That cringeworthy picture you chose suits you perfectly because I think you actually think it looks badass XD
Ryder Wilson
that business motto is outdated, even in america's shitty capitalist society. putting the customers before your employees makes for an unhappy, inefficient, and all around worse workforce. restaurants who put the employees first and don't assume "the customer is always right" are better to work for, and happier employees often equates to a better dining experience. jsyk.
Mason Sullivan
>they're probably allergic to the things they rejected Allergic to everything but money mustard. Allergic to every plant but grain.
Sounds legit. >your job hurrdurr A cooks job is not to satisfy random requests from people who are too stupid to buy their tendies at a place that serves them the way they want. His job is to cook for a big room full of many people in an efficient, highly rationalized manner. Which means there is a fixed list of items to pick from to make it at all feasible.
Noah Brooks
Your comment reeks of neet.
That's not how things work in the real world buddy.
Cameron Hughes
>hurrr durrr people expecting me to do my job are like the worst
How about you get a real job you stupid piece of shit.
Noah King
>be me in retail >work backroom not my job to do sales >out on floor because i need to go to another location >customer asks me which product she should buy >HURR DURR NOT MY JOB GO ASK A SALES REP
Grayson Young
the thing about working in retail is that the general populous are genuinely retarded and think you're retarded because you work in retail.
Oliver King
>great restaurant >no custom orders
cool story bro
Nolan Gray
Nice
Luis Barnes
If you work in customer service you are a retard.
Lincoln Smith
Grow up
Mason Cruz
As long as the request is reasonable and doesnt back up the kitchen.
If you want to spend $35 on a well done steak with fries as your side I dont give a shit.
Once a customer requested a "pittsburgh well" filet with fries instead of potatoes and ranch instead of demi.
Robert James
Wow no one fucking cares. You'll bring the food that you get told to, and you can pout about it if you want. You seem to have a misplaced notion about who is in charge.
Sebastian Scott
You sound retarded.
Gabriel Bailey
I didnt say it was a problem. It was an odd request that some cooks would have bitched about, but I really didnt mind making it. Sometimes it switches it up and makes it interesting.
Its the customers money and if you are going to be a bitch about every little request, then you shouldnt be working in the fucking service industry.
Thomas Davis
>work in local fast food chain >customers come to order >customer 1 wants a cheeseburger without pickles >wants to replace his fries with chicken nuggets >wants to replace his soda with milkshake >uses a coffee+cake coupon and replaces the coffee with cola >customer 2 wants salt on her fucking sandwich >wants to replace her fries with a salad >wants to replace her soda with juice >wants to replace her ketchup with mayo >wants to replace her ham with trouffle >uses a hamburger coupon twice >asks for the first burger to be replaced with a salad and the fries to be replaced with a salad and the second burger to be replaced with donuts and the drinks to be replaced with smoothie and coffee and replaces coffee with tea and fries with soup and wants meatloaf instead of tomatoes
autism
William Ward
I mean, it sounds ridiculous but it's the natural consequence of highly formated menus that fast food restaurants enforce, why should a restaurant force me to have fries and a soda if I get a burger, they dont really force you but slant the price of combos so it's economically irrational to not get them. I get that they need to do that to control inventories and keeping costs down but as a consumer it makes you worse off, so its natural that (god forbid) the customer can switch around the items in a combo so it suits his preferences.
That said I pretty much only eat at standard non chain restaurants where just asking for rice instead of fries or to add a fried egg to the dish isn't an issue at all, they have an actual kitchen (not reheating/thawing stations) so they can cook a damn egg or boil some potatoes or whatever if needed
Kevin Cox
I just throw the drink on the ground to teach them about basic economics. I never want their sugar water but it nonsensically costs like three or four bucks less to get a soda so of course i get it.
Juan Foster
Replace her teeth with your cock, user
Michael Johnson
>Order a burger well done >get it medium >retard chef doesn't know that ground beef is literally salmonella heaven. if it turns out like a puck just throw in more fat and add an egg, faggot. >send it back >get another burger >better be well done >take a bite, it better fucking be well done >medium >unsurprisingly, shits for days.
I now cut into literally every burger I order.
Chefs are untrustowrthy scum. You put a health warning about undercooked meat on the menu, you abide by the fact that it is a health warning that mentions the possibility of serious illness and recognize that some people may not want to take the chance of missing work because they're a yellow fountain from both ends of the digestive tract and sometimes the nostrils.
Caleb Parker
>stomach has been weakened from years of only eating overcooked food >food that has any actual trace of the original enters system >system is unable to cope
Ian Sullivan
Sadly it costs them virtually nothing, they mix the concentrate and sparkling sugar water, I just get a beer most of the time it goes with fast food much better imo, i rather have 40cl of beer than a liter of sugar water
Jack Gray
>mfw i've eaten my burgers medium for 23 years and have never once gotten sick from one >mfw beef in the US has a less than .001% chance of containing any bacteria or contaminants >mfw I eat my steaks rare
Julian Walker
I eat my steaks rare, but fuck that ground shit. You're not eating meat fresh off a locally raised cow and running it through your own person grinder seasoned with local dirt like some paleo faggot. It's weeks old shit that's been manhandled, thrown around, sliced with blades that just sliced a hundred other cows, and ran through a massive industrial grinder that's cleaned once a day (if that) - all somewhere so far from you that definitely has a strain of something you have never contracted before.
Beef is normally thick enough to remain clean in the center despite that, but once ground all bets are off.
Thomas Lee
then why would you order a burger?
Lincoln Mitchell
What burger place are you going to, that they don't grind their own beef? You sound like a frail man-boy, who forgot their hand sanitizer at home.
Grayson Baker
Because it was ordered well done
Apparently one that grinds their own beef but also seasons it with locally sourced organic dirt
Blake Bailey
The 'gourmet' burger business has invaded my town, what a waste of meat Why would you grind it up if it isnt the shittiest of cuts I wish people here would think for themselves instead of falling for every american meme they've seen in movies
I wish I could blame the jews but this is just plain ol stupidity at work
Cameron Gutierrez
>you dont get it man it's ground kobe beef that's why it's $50 for a 1/8thlb patty and it's raw in the center >that's also why the only other thing between the buns is a piece of seaweed >if you don't like japanese minimalism go to mcds okay
Carson Rivera
Im all for minimalism in food, if you have the best and freshest ingredients the cooking process and seasoning should be simple to just display the flavour as purely as possible
As in DONT GRIND UP A PIECE OF MEAT THAT IS ALREADY TENDER
(And yes I realise you arent being serious, its just a continuation)
Jack Evans
Steak sandwich with carmelized onions, mushrooms and bernaise has always been superior to burgers.
Camden Kelly
Just give the mouthbreathers what they pay for, you fucking idiot. That's your job.
Brayden Moore

John Ramirez
I cut my own steaks and grind the ends and eat delicious medium rare burgers
Lucas Price

Evan White
>actually cooked meat >no disgusting fat sounds good to me
Matthew Peterson
The big secret is that everybody is a retarded asshole, on both sides of the window/counter.
Elijah Sanders
i mean... while i agree with the sentiment, that is in fact EXACTLY what a chef/cook does..
Adrian Nelson
Make sure the chef tells the owner that when the customers leave because he didn't want to bend the menu.
It's not like they're asking you to part the fucking red sea when they ask for a substitution you already fucking prepare for other items to begin with.
Julian Davis
...
Michael Reed
>WHAT >you want me to fuckin cut the food?!? >omg >I can't even... >WHO DO YOU THINK I AM??? >DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR MONEY TO YOU?
Elijah Barnes
No, he makes multiple dishes at a time. He doesn't spend 20 mins focused your shit making it from scratch.
Ryder Perez
I'm going to open a gourmet restaurant with delicious, high quality food at 2/3 the price it would go for anywhere else. No skimping, no cutting corners, all genuine and all delicious.
But the kid's menu, the pizza, the plain burgers and the chicken tendies we also offer will each be priced $500 a serving. I want to see how many retarded manchildren who don't look at menus I get to rob blind.
Camden Ross
if everyone got a """""""real job"""", then we'd have nobody to cook food for shitty entitled customers
Adrian Martin
This is why cooks hate substitutions. Yeah, maybe substitute a couple of things (that we already make), that's fine. But if you're going to go all out and make it to where your meal is unrecognizable from the original menu item, you can fuck right off and make that shit yourself at home.
Juan Ramirez
The only part that truly bothered me is that a fast food chain would offer meatloaf
Camden Allen
I'm not your fucking mother, we provide you with steak knives. CUT IT YOUR DAMN SELF!
Jeremiah Gutierrez
>ITT: Entitled Restaurant "chefs" complain about doing their fucking job
Nathan Morris
>I'm not your fucking mother why do u make my food then lmao
Robert Gomez
It is not a cooks job to make you something off menu.
Jeremiah Barnes
Whenever I go to jack in the box with one my roommates, he always orders those 50 cent tacos. He usually asks for no lettuce, but sometimes he forgets or the employees accidentally put in the lettuce anyways. Whenever that happens he refuses to eat the taco and goes up to the counter to asks for a refund or replacement. Am I wrong to think that he's a little bitch?
Justin Brooks
no, you're right i'd tell him every jew refund he gets for his own mistake is getting added on to his portion of rent lmfao
Camden Thompson
What the fuck kind of restaurant makes all of their mashed potatos with mushrooms in. Are you stupid? You make a batch of mash and then you prep it however you need it.
Xavier Rodriguez
What are you replying to?
And as for your question, I suppose a restaurant that has exactly one dish with a mushroom puré/foam that uses the mash for texture might have their mushroom siphon mixture made up beforehand. But again, what in the fuck are you talking about? Are you high? A-are you ok, a-user? S-should I call s-someone for you? *backs away slowly*
Jace Lee
What kind of Man eats in a restaurant?
Ayden Scott
Not me, and I'm as manly man as you could possibly manly be.
