restaurant

Anyone who has ever worked service or retail knows full well the absolute devastation an entitled Karen can wreak on your shift. This one in particular felt like a bustling bar should have no problem suiting the needs of a party of 35, and felt the wrath of a staff overworked. Sometimes the Karens aren't just inconvenienced, sometimes they're defeated by overwhelming kindness.

Food allergies are no joke. With that being said, if a restaurant fails to make good on an order from a customer who specifically asks for certain problem ingredients to be left out, it could be viewed as fair for them to send the order back. As long as the sending of the order back is being handled in a fair, respectful matter it shouldn't be too big of a problem at all. So, this customer asked for a new burger, the restaurant refused, and then the customer decided to only leave enough money for their drink. Some folks in the comments section are in agreement that that was a reasonable move to make. 

Honestly this whole party sounds like an absolute nightmare to serve. They were loud, rude, horribly messy, and terrible liars. It's not uncommon for a Karen to lie to a restaurant owner's face, causing some revenge to unfold. When bad customers try to strike back in the reviews section, they don't realize that some owners have all the time in the world to respond.

The internet stood in judgement of this intriguing case, wherein an overzealous wife of an employee vastly overestimated her powers. Managerial duties don't transfer via osmosis, but she sure felt like she had the authority to get free meals for her friends and fire a waitress who got in her way. Sometimes people's partners have a hard time with reality, like this Karen military wife who demanded salutes or this Lying brother who covered up the fact his wife was the breadwinner.

One of the things we don't miss about restaurants is the need to make increasingly inconvenient, and sometimes potentially dangerous presentation. For example, serving food on top of a bed of bite-sized rocks is kind of a bad idea. Here are outlandish restaurant presentations, from broccoli on barbed wire to burgers on a guitar.

Man, it sounds like Chad and his pack of unruly minions were in dire need of a little wakeup call. They really ended up being their own worst enemies. We have no idea what kinds of awful forces compel customers to be so dang insensitive and rude to hard working employees that are just doing the best they can to make it through the day without any hiccups. 

Check out another instance of an entitled mom demanding to speak to a supervisor, and then getting put in her place very quickly. 

Nothing warms our hearts like a couple entitled customers with nasty attitudes getting reality checked. These ladies sound like they had a whole lot of growing up to do. Probably a solid move by their manager to fire them after hearing about their antics at the sushi bar. I imagine they'd have caused all kinds of other problems further on down the road. 

Many of us enjoy the art of trying to prepare a beautiful, tasty meal at home. It's certainly one of those things that's easier said then done. Sometimes, right when you're in the thick of preparing what you think is the immaculate meal to end all meals, you only come to realize that you forgot that one essential ingredient that would've leveled up the whole dish. Well, we live and we learn, and we can learn a whole lot from these pro chefs about what their favorite ingredients are. 

Anyone who has ever worked a gig in the service industry knows that the job is most unfortunately stuffed to the brim with entitled customers that all seem to be on a war path towards creating as much emotional distress as possible, over a whole bunch of nothing. Because of that unfortunate and frequent predicament, many members of the service industry end up perfecting their very best "customer voices." This can get very, very exhausting after awhile.

As surprising as it might be for some folks to hear, there are wildly entitled human beings in this world that are ready to go full berserker mode over a restaurant like Olive Garden running out of breadsticks. There's something about the whole "unlimited/bottomless" promos that can end up bringing out people's most irrational and plain old rude sides. This ex general manager from Olive Garden certainly saw his fair share of low points for humanity. 

At the start of this tumultuous tale it does seem as if we're about to read something very gnarly. Like, maybe some kind of stomach bug situation from a salad never meant for human consumption. But alas, things don't shake out nearly as bad as you might think. Just a panicked waitress fielding the daunting realization that she'd consumed a customer's salad, that was actually going to return. 

There's nothing that quite grinds one's gears like reading about a maniacal business manager who misplaced their moral compass and decided that they'd try to take advantage of hard working employees that don't know any better. It's some of the scummiest behavior that human beings can end up subjecting other people to, especially in the service industry. The woman in this AITA story asked folks whether or not she was in the wrong for alerting her old coworkers to why she quit the gig. People seem to be in agreement that what she did was nothing but righteous. 

It's stories like these that might inspire other folks out there to take action and intervene when they see someone else wrongfully giving a hard working employee a hard time over something that they simply have no control over in the first place. There's enough irrational entitlement in this world to make you feel sick to your stomach. So, when you get someone who steps up like this woman, it can temporarily restore your faith in humanity. 

Sure, presentation is important in fancy restaurants, but who wants to pick their dinner out of a comb? You can't blame people for trying something new, but you can totally blame a restaurant for serving a hamburger on a brick and charging an extra five bucks. There are loads of things restaurants try to use instead of dishes.
