(2) The dish the Gratin is cooked/sered in is too hot.

(3) 3 of my chips were stuck together

and save the best til last

(4) The Tagliatelle was too long (in length)

I like chips sticking.

It breaks up the monotony.

O.M.G THAT IS SO FUNNY.

I work as a chef and I no thos sort of complaints are just customers triying a attempt to get sumthing for free. Using any excuse thay can think off even if the dish is served to purfekshoun.

I had a theory years ago that everyone should work one busy Saturday shift in a restaurant just so they would understand and appreciate the level of work that goes into it.

Ridiculous complaints though are the heart of the comedy of restaurants, my favourites revolve around the same customers making different complaints about the meals; 'there's too much here I can't possibly eat it all,' 'the sauce is too thick,' 'the sauce is too runny.' Maybe you should stop ordering the same meal every week then?!

Oh heck.

My favourite complaint ever was "there's too much tea in my cup, there isn't enough room for milk." The person in question had just poured the tea herself and felt the need to complain.

my personal favourite is when they ask why their meals for a table of ten are taking so long then go on to tell you they do dinner parties for 20 people without this sort of delay.

well, yes love, maybe you do, but you have had all week to plan and prepare it and your guests are all having the same fucking meal

I like to complain about stupid things. I also get complained at. Both ways are amusing for me.

I'll put my hand up to the coffee comment.

There's an optimum temperature for coffee to be made at and served. Places who use boiling water are killing the flavours and scalding the customers.

A good place would serve it right.

You don't really like customers do you ?

My favourite ever sign in a cafe read : ' If you wish to complain about our food, eat elsewhere.'

"Anyone that has to deal with the General Public deserves a medal. So many fuckwits in the world. "

No matter how high I climbed in the company, I always had an arsehole as a boss, so I went self-employed thinking at least I'll finally be my own boss.

Then I realised my customers are my boss, and they're even worse!

Sometimes the general public are complete and utter fuckwits!

In the supermarket I work in an elderly lady took very ill yesterday and collapsed. She hit her head as she fell and was knocked out. The first aiders attending to her put a tannoy call out asking if there was a doctor or nurse in store to help. When the ambulance arrived she was eventually taken out on a spinal board.

The fuckwits were complaining. It was an inconvenience to their shopping that they couldn't go down that aisle because it had been blocked off to give the poorly lady a little privacy and dignity.

I personally don't enjoy food that burns the inside of my mouth whilst eating. And when pasta is too long. Harder to eat.

Nothing worse than boiling water scalding the granules!

Its a sin!

Won't attack you on this , but when serving hot food it must be and be held in temperature of minimum of 63•c when served to the tables

Well, if you don't listen to the people you are serving, you need to ask yourself why. They seem to have a problem. If you can't identify it, then that is your fault.

Not food related, but.

I was in Argos, and heard a Joe Brand, lookalike, complaining that she had been waiting " six fucking minutes" for her order.
