Today, a customer called the Chinese restaurant where I work and complained about her takeout order not including donuts. After informing her that we don't have them, she started to curse at me while citing the website as proof. She thought wontons were synonymous with donuts. FML

Hi guys, OP here! To clarify, by donuts she meant those "Chinese" sugar donuts that you can get at cheap buffets (at least where I live, in rural Ohio). Instead, we are relatively more of a high end Chinese restaurant, a family owned place that could be compared to PF Changs. So there is no way we would have those cheap donuts anyways! But for whatever reason she thought that fried wontons were the same things as those fried sugar donuts. She was incredibly upset and basically demanded that we give her the fried donuts that we supposedly offered on our website. Basically, working as a server/host in a restaurant is fun when you get to deal with unreasonable people! Thanks for the publish!

That should be the first thing put on your website, otherwise you'll confuse people. It's well known that donuts are a large part of Chinese culture.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
why should they if it not on the menu then they don't have it. you won't go to a Italian restaurant and ask for a taco

Yeah, I don't even know why we try, nowadays. Ignorance, man. And instead of accepting a new tidbit of knowledge (like how Wantons are, in fact, not donuts) - People get indignant of their ignorance.

Until the "wonton" part, I thought maybe she was thinking of those sugar donuts...
