Late Night Special
I’m a cook at this mom-and-pop grill in a small town that closes at 9 on Monday-Thursdays. Every Wednesday we have this couple that shows up at 8:50 (and sometimes later) and repeatedly orders something weird or makes us alter their meals. Every single Wednesday never fails. For those who don’t know or don’t care showing up ten minutes to close really pisses the cooks off seeing as how we have most of the stuff cleaned and broken down as it takes a while to clean the kitchen and we’re tired and want to go home.
Well, the most recent f*ckery they pulled was they ordered an appetizer of our black bean nachos, which has the beans already mixed with beef. They decided they didn’t want the beans and proceeded to have our waitress ring back the nachos but with 2 ground-up hamburgers, and patty instead. After the server brought it to them they claimed it tasted like Taco Bell nachos (which doesn’t sound that bad to me) and made her take it back and bring them the regular black bean nachos instead. It’s well past closing time at this point and I inform the server that we tossed the old nacho meat and didn’t have any left. They got pretty pissed, refused to pay for the drinks they already finished, and stormed out. Haven’t seen them in 3 weeks.
