"I've worked in just about every role you can have in a restaurant - chosting, serving, bartending. And if you've been in the industry, you know: You meet every kind of guest. The sweet one. The creepy one. The rude one. The cheeky one. And then...there are the ones who make you wonder, How has this person made it this far in life without setting something on fire?"
"I worked at the local sporting goods store a few years ago. I had a lady call me asking how much bear spray she needed to use on her kids to keep them safe while running through the woods. I told her one can would be more than enough. I didn't realize what she was really asking until the question, ''And how often will they need to reapply it during the day?''"
A person recounts extensive experience across restaurant roles and encountering a wide spectrum of guests: sweet, creepy, rude, cheeky, and utterly baffling. Colleagues and workers share vivid anecdotes of interactions so odd they inspire disbelief, including an elderly guest seriously asking the difference between baked and mashed potatoes. Other stories spill into retail, such as a caller asking how much bear spray to use on children and how often to reapply it. Many anecdotes highlight patrons misunderstanding drinks—ordering martinis then complaining they are not sweet—underscoring how unpredictable and wild customer behavior can be.
