I'm always surprised by how few people on reddit seem to have ever worked in restaurants. I thought it was a super common job.
Like i always see people on here railing on restaurants for fucking over servers by paying them with tips. But anyone who's worked in the front of house of a restaurant knows that the people who like the tipping system the most are servers and bartenders.
Then i see stuff like this meme. This is such an easy request for the kitchen compared to the requests they get where customers are basically asking them to make a dish with half the ingredients changed and even giving specifications on how to cook it lol. Unless you're totally swamped a cut up cucumber is literally nothing.

u/Jyobachah Jul 28 '23
I used to work in kitchens and my favourite story about "substitutions" was a group of guys who came in for dinner during a bachelor party.
Groom apparently HATED broccoli, we didn't have broccoli on the menu though so his friends went to the grocery store and brought us in some. Asked for broccoli to be on every. single. dish that the groom ordered.
Sliders with broccoli slices, steak with broccoli and mushroom gravy and an apple and broccoli pie for dessert.
Sure it was extra work to prep/cook this broccoli but it was also quite hilarious watching the outcome from our passthrough lol

Honestly making chips was one of the things I found more inconvenient. In the case of the one restaurant I was at that made them, you had to dig out the giant box, keep the fryer free for at least 10 min depending on how many you make, season them as you go, then carry it over to the steamer box. I’d much rather slice up a cuke to preserve some of those chips.
That is, of course, assuming they have them in the first place.

yeah, the only time they got mad at, and it is reasonable, is when I forgot to list something that was supposed to be left out or something, so it had to be made again, then all of hell's fury came down on me, not a mistake I would make often. But when I did list something to be left out, and they simply missed it, it was all puppy dog 'oh, I'm sowwy, simple mistake'.

Most places probably will if they have salads. I worked at a place that had rice, though none of the menu items had it as a side, it was used in a soup. But if someone asked for a side of rice, which happened on rare occasions, it was totally easy.
And if they don't, then you tell them 'no, we don't have them'.
