You won’t believe the bizarre things customers ask for. From splitting a check six ways for four people to someone pulling a baked potato out of her purse. We’ve seen it all. In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, we’re sharing the absolute weirdest, funniest, and most confusing requests we’ve ever gotten from restaurant guests. Ever been asked to make a quiche with no eggs? Or a plain fish that isn’t boring? How about a pizza with no crust?

It’s all here. Real stories. Real service industry chaos.

If you’re a waiter, bartender, manager, or someone who just loves restaurant culture, this episode will make you laugh, cringe, and nod in recognition. We explore the ridiculous logic customers use, the emotional labor service workers endure, and the daily misunderstandings that make restaurant life so wild.
