In my four years where I work, I have seen almost everything...
- One day, bussing tables, I was pouring leftover coffee and other drinks into a bucket on my cart. A female customer came to me, and completely serious, asked me if we recycle the coffee being dumped into the bucket. She was not joking.
- For a period of time one of our regulars would pick up and move our "wet floor" signs, which were being used whenever someone spilled coffee (we get a lot of seniors that spill half their coffees on the way to their tables). She tried to tell us that the signs were a hazard.
- One Sunday, a customer came in at 9:55 AM and wanted chicken wings and chili for take-out for that day's NFL football game. We never have wings ready that early, and chili is sometimes but often not out at that time. He spent over 15 minutes yelling at the store manager about it.
- A female once ordered a cappuccino or some such drink, and after finishing it, wanted a free refill of regular coffee. Officially that is not allowed at this place so I explained that she couldn't just get free coffee after having a cappuccino. She threw a bit of a fit.
I'll add more as I think of them.
