Wait staff, what's the most convoluted order you've ever taken?

I always feel bad for the waitress went out to dinner with my mother-in-law.

I swear, just ordering a glass of water with ice ends up being difficult.

Oh, your omelets have three eggs? Can you make mine with one and a half?

No yoke, just replace the 1.5 yolks with some extra egg whites.

I swear to freaking God, I had a woman ask for egg whites,

then insist on getting a discount because she wasn't eating the whole egg. If anything,

she should be charged extra for wasting egg parts. Not necessarily a convoluted order, but I think

it still fits here. I work at a from scratch Italian restaurant.

Had a guy come in with his wife and sit at the bar on a busy Saturday night.

He informed me he was following the TB12 diet from Tom Brady's new diet and exercise book,

and had very strict dietary restrictions because of this.

He sent me back and forth to the kitchen no less than seven times to verify the chef that his dinner order would have no iodized salt, sugar, olive oil, gluten, peppers or tomatoes.

He ended up with a plain piece of fish and some vegetables. We were getting slammed, but I still tried to keep my patience and accommodate the guy the best I could, even though doing so was putting me in the weeds.

After dinner, I asked if they'd like anything else, and don't you know, this guy orders himself

a bread pudding, very much filled with forbidden gluten and sugar, and eats the whole thing.

He just goes, well, I mean, you have to allow yourself a treat every now and again.

I died a little more inside. Yeah, he was off that diet by the

end of the week, guaranteed. Kind of sounds like he was never on it to begin with. Some confusion arose

once because a customer wanted a plain cheeseburger. Brought a cheeseburger with no toppings or

condiments. She was very upset. Turns out she wanted a hamburger. My husband has this problem

a lot, but opposite. He asks for a plain cheeseburger, and they always bring him a hamburger.
