Customers

There are just too many kinds of people in this world...
I've worked as a part time waiter for quite some time so I've seen all kinds of customers... and that's the fun part... so we always made jokes out of their behaviours

1. there are customers who think that waiter are just waiter.... uneducated people
There's once, I helped a customer take a picture.... then the picture's lighting was a little imbalance...

me: Ms... the lighting is a little bit out... do you want to take another one?
customer: oh... no need.. i have got this computer program that i can use to edit the picture...
me: -_-"

If it's photoshop just say it's photoshop larr.... but I still pretended
me: oh, is it?

2. customers who really like to complain....
there's another time, a colleague of mine served a blended mango in a mocktail glass...
seconds later, the customer told me to go to their table..

me: how may i help you...
customer: can u give me a new one, this glass is leaking...
me: LEAKING???

I immediately took away the glass... and we inspected the glass... turns out, the drinks only overflowed a little bit plus condensation because it's ICE blended mango..

3. Greedy customers
some customers are just intolerable...
we have dishes that come with rice... so some customers don't want the rice....
so I admit that we do make mistakes when it comes to those who didn't want rice...
and they will call us to their table...

customer: ummm... i ordered with fries not rice
that... we'll say we're sorry
BUT please... don't do that when half the rice is gone!!!

4. customers who think they know the owner very well so they should be served well
some customers, when they reached our place... the first question is
Tauke nio leh???
usually they are not in
so when they come back, I'll ask if they know so and so....
the the common answer, WHO'S THAT???

5. impatient customers
some customers are really impatient, yet they still want to order something that takes time to prepare.... and then after that bomb us...
there's food that requires grilling first then baking... this will take at least 15 minutes so usually it will be the last food to be served on a table...
and when the customer sees that all food are served except his.... matilah kita...
there's once, the customer just walked away... in the end, their friends have to pay for them...

6. fierce customers
some customers are not only impatient but really fierce...
our restaurant is specialised in steak... cooked in different degree of doneness...
so when a customer orders medium-well, we serve medium well
but our medium well is not to his style....
So, we took the bombing like the world is gonna end...
"SO UNCOOKED... HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EAT THIS!!!"

7. selfish customers
another group of customers, are selfish ones....
our restaurant closes at 10 ++
so if the customers stay until 10.45 or 11.00p.m, it's acceptable...
BUT please.... 12 o'clock???
even if you're Angelina Jolie also cannot arr...
