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.

Tbh if she called after she already took it home she was probably trying to cause problems or get discounts cause most people tend to check their takeout bags before leaving.

not really, I order take out all the time I don't open it up and inspect everything. that would be extremely rude, if you open up every container and look thru it. especially at a Chinese restaurant with those tiny little origami take out boxes

They did use to. Not sure why they stopped.

And that's why Kardashians aren't allowed to order takeout unless they can see pictures

Typical ignorant American. My dad always asks for eggrolls at Japanese restaurants then gets mad when they don't have them, so I know the feeling.
