As a former server myself, I can admit to my fair share of blunders made while putting in an order. You know, meals not delivered in the correct order, forgotten upsells, “did they ask for a diet or a regular Coke? Screw it, it’s going out on the tracks like this.” — you get the picture. But there are normal everyday mistakes that happen in the midst of a lunch/dinner rush, and then there are mistakes that can only be chalked up to a general lack of any common sense.
The following customers share some of the worst misunderstandings ever made by their waiters & or order-takers. Enjoy.
Went to McDonald’s and ordered an “Ice-cream sandwich” out of boredom. They delivered.
My friend ordered a large pizza with 8 cheese sticks. Apparently, the lady on the phone heard differently.
Asked for “Nothing” as dessert on a Disney cruise. Got this masterpiece
My husband asked Hardee’s to put extra frosting on his cinnamon biscuit.
Mission accomplished.
I ordered a Coke with an extra cup for the kids. This is what I got.
I think the wrapper was supposed to be removed from Doritos tacos BEFORE being served. Just a hunch.
Order taker took this special request literally.
Friend ordered an affogato. Waiter didn’t know what it was. She said you put a scoop of ice-cream on top then pour espresso over it. This is what she got.
Ordered a pepperoni pizza, got a pepperoni, with a pizza.
Ordered a coffee with Bailey’s.
So my friend ordered a fruit salad in a restaurant in Marrakesh.
I think the food maker left something by accident. That, or this was their poor attempt at committing murder.
After a huge meal (Schweinshaxe) in Berlin, I asked for just a small beer. This is what the waiter brought me.
Went to Wendy’s for lunch and asked for extra onion in my chili. I guess this counts.
I don’t know what this guy expected. After all, he did add the cheese.
My cousin’s friend ordered a chicken burger and asked for mayo on the top and bottom, this is what she got.
Pizza looked fine, but I’m not sure it was supposed to come with its own metal tray.
Last we checked, Subway workers were supposed to cut your subs down the center. This doesn’t qualify.
I’m not sure who’s to blame for this, but it’s an absolute trainwreck.
