Back when I worked at McDonald's there was a guy who came in every morning and ordered a Sausage Biscuit with the sausage cooked on the grill five times over. It came off the grill almost completely flattened and jet black. I didn't know how he (actually his wife) ate it, so one day I made one for myself. It tasted kinda like bacon, but gave me awful heartburn.

Kind of along those lines, I had a guy who ordered pizza on a fairly regular basis. He always gave the same instruction. Burn the **** out of it and then just when you think it's too burnt, leave it in for another 5 minutes. It was nasty. Store smelled like burnt pizza for a while after. I even had other customers ask me if I was burning something.

I had another guy who once ordered an 18 inch supreme pizza, so it's huge to begin with. Then asked me to make it with triple cheese. Thing took forever to cook all the way through.

But if it made them happy, whatever.

"How about you give me a Blizzard, but with less ice cream and in a smaller plastic cup, and don't mix in the toppings?"

Stupid corporate decisions.

EDIT: And wT, you should have told them, "Fine. Culvers is better anyway." :D

Dupea: I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.
Waitress: No substitutions.
Dupea: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two - a plain omelette. It comes with cottage fries and rolls.
Dupea: Yeah, I know what it comes with. But it's not what I want.
Waitress: Well, I'll come back when you make up your mind.
Dupea: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes on the plate, a cup of coffee, and a side order of wheat toast.
Waitress: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast...an English muffin or a coffee roll.
Dupea: What do you mean you don't make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?
Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
Dupea: ...You've got bread and a toaster of some kind?
Waitress: I don't make the rules.
Dupea: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san, hold the butter, the lettuce and the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Dupea: Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Dupea: I want you to hold it between your knees.
Waitress: Do you see that sign, sir? Yes, you'll all have to leave. I'm not taking any more of your smartness and sarcasm.
Dupea: You see this sign? [He sweeps all the water glasses and menus off the table]

Not you, but DQ.

What's the reason? I worked in food service, and if the customer ever wanted to pay for something out of the ordinary, I had it done.

No clue. DQ corporate is incredibly weird. There were restrictions on how many and what items you could have on the menu board. Even if you had the ingredients, you weren't allowed to make certain things.

Just ask for a "strawberry misty cooler" and see what kind of reaction you get. Or ask for a "frozen hot chocolate" or a "strawberry banana glacier smoothie". All are ridiculously good and ALL DQs have the necessary ingredients. But they don't let you sell them. Ours did all of them if you asked for them by name. Otherwise we couldn't sell them.

Not that I go there often (maybe once a month at best), but until recently I always got a little hassle/questioned when I ordered a Sausage Egg McMuffin "with folded egg" instead of the normal egg.

I still don't understand why you'd do that. Round eggs are the only actual meat item at McDonald's :p

The round eggs have a different texture to them, and they are terrible.

Maybe it's because we break the yolks (food safety issue.) I dunno.

Whatever, enjoy your "liquid egg product" from the nice nondescript white carton.

And nothing will top the Wendy's training video I saw on YouTube that basically says if you eff up while cooking a meat patty, you're supposed to throw it in the chili pot.

That makes sense, you break a patty in half, you can't serve it is a burger, but the meat is still good, may as well use it in chili.

Truth. Besides the fries, the eggs/breakfast sandwiches are just about the only thing decent at McDonalds.

Working in the middle of the basement of this building, so I don't get decent cell service at my desk, causing me to get spotty KFAN broadcasts via iheartradio, is currently grinding my gears.

There are some of us who aren't too crazy about plain old eggs. I can eat them if they're served to me, but they aren't my favorite food on the planet. Probably because I couldn't eat them too often when I was a kid (I used to have a mild reaction to egg whites when I was very young).
 
Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three

This is really what our schools should be concerned about?

So instead of the teachers implementing rules and discipline, its much easier to just ban these stupid things? Talk about laziness. And coddling. Oh, some poor kid now has hurt feelings because he made a "bad trade"? What? They are braclets for Parise's sake! I once made a horrible baseball card trade when I was about 12. You know what I did? I was mad for a while, then made a vow to learn from my mistake. Then, most importantly, I GOT THE **** OVER IT.

The upcoming generations in this country are going to be the biggest pansies this world has ever seen.
