Sometimes folks say and do questionable things that make you wonder why their mind functions the way it does. More often than not, those things are of a negative undertone – hence why their behavior puzzles everyone around them. That entitled attitude mainly occurs with folks who, at that moment, are in the role of consumers and affects those who are in the customer service industry.
However, not everything has to be so gloomy in the business. Every once in a while, people encounter customers who say and do very inoffensive but confusing things. Whether it's them asking you if the fish is grass-fed or requesting that you something that is totally out of your control – it will surely amuse a staff member or two.
For instance, a member of this online community wondered whether food industry folks have any odd stories to tell regarding their guests. The post received over 2.3K comments worth of strange yet entertaining stories.

Lady came in and ordered our fried shrimp appetizer. She kept talking about how good the breading was and asked me if I could get her an extra side of the “sauce they fry it in”. I tried to explain to her it was just cajun seasoned flour but she didn’t get it. Finally got her a side of the flour and watched her dip her shrimp in flour and ate the entire thing. It was strange to say the least.

A group sent their food back because their portions were so big that they were "overfaced". They requested a complete refund (rather than smaller portions, or ordering something else from the "light" menu). Apparently just the sight of such large portions made them feel ill and so they didn't want to eat at our establishment any more.
I can't even fathom their game plan?

Had a bar guest walk into the kitchen and take an entire cheesecake out of our dessert fridge. No one saw him do it in the kitchen and the bartender was to shocked to say anything

I had someone order a chicken platter. I asked them if they wanted it with one chicken breast or two. They dead looked me in the face and asked what's the difference. I just tilted my head and said one comes with one breast, the other with two.

Had a lady tell me her chilled salad plate was too cold. I had to fight the urge to tell her to just wait a couple minutes and it wouldn't be and just go get her a room temp plate

Lady came in and ordered a vodka soda no ice, then proceeded to pour it into her feeding tube. I mean, who am I to judge, right? The next drink she ordered was the house chard.
