Today, my customer complained to me that there were no scallops in her dish when it was "clearly stated on the menu." Finally, after she ran out of breath, I had to show her that the menu said scallions. She didn't understand, screamed at me and then walked out on her bill. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my family went out to dinner at a seafood restaurant. While we were eating our food, my grandma demanded to see the manager, and loudly complained that her fish was "too fishy". FML
Today, I was verbally abused by a customer because her entrée was too fishy. I'm not the chef, just the waiter, and I work at a fish grill. FML
Today, at my work in a self-service chinese restaurant, a lady came up to me, pointed to the plate she loaded with honey king prawns, and yelled at me because she was allergic to seafood. She demanded a refund and another plate. Everything is clearly labeled. FML
Today, when making a delivery for the restaurant I work for, a customer shoved and yelled at me because she didn't get any fries with her order. She didn't order any, which isn't unusual, considering we're a Chinese takeaway and don't even sell them. FML
Today, a customer bitched me out, saying he wouldn't eat his vegetarian dish because it didn't "look vegetarian enough." He then demanded a refund and a plate of the same vegetarian dish. FML
Today, the family I was serving had ordered calamari and when I brought out the food, they started yelling at me because apparently their daughter was allergic to it. Just why would you order it then? FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, I was in a restaurant with my fiancée for dinner. I commented that she had some food around her mouth. She responded with a lecture, then by throwing her hot bowl of noodles at me, before stomping out the restaurant. FML
Today, a lady cussed me out for not bringing her salad and pizza to her table. She then wanted her money back. I work at a buffet; a self-serve buffet. FML
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Sounds like she just needed a poor excuse to not pay her bill.

Now I'm looking up scallion recipes and mentally replacing the word "scallion" with "scallop". These are actually pretty appetizing… Grilled scallops, garlic scallop noodles, extra flaky scallop pancakes, etc.

Self entitledness is humanity's Achilles' heel, it seems.

I'm curious what the dish was, did it even make sense for her to think there was seafood in it?

Interesting.

Scallions are very complimentary to scallops in dishes, as scallions compliment the creamy texture of the scallops.

Have her arrested for stealing

Not sure why this was downvoted - as that is what the customer did, was commit theft, by not paying for something they'd already consumed. Ya'll realize the servers are the ones who pay for those meals that customers walk out on, right?

In Australia scallops is the general term usually attributed to potato scallops, Thin slices of potato dipped in batter then deep fried. Get them from the local fish and chip shop.

In America, scallops are weaponized, thinly sliced potatoes with a grenade launcher and laser sights.

Ahhh, the joys of customer service. Where customers cannot handle their stupidity being exposed, no matter how politely it's done. Hopefully your boss isn't the type to pin the bill on you :/

I've said it before and I'll say it again. People who have to face other people like in retail, tech support, customer care, receptions et al don't get paid enough. Sometimes I want to shoot 3 people in the line ahead of me for asking stupid, really stupid questions or treating other people badly. Some people were born without manners, and then some went ahead and did a PhD in being a Pretty Huge Dik.
