Jullie hebben heel wat ongemakkelijke momenten veroorzaakt in de horeca. Daar schreven we eerder deze week een artikel over. Maar jullie zijn niet de enigen. Ook veel twitteraars hebben wel eens een situatie meegemaakt waarin ze het liefst door de grond zakten.
1. De tweet van Lilyanna is het startschot voor een enorme lading reacties.

2. Soms moeten mensen ook gewoon duidelijker zijn.
this reminds me of when I was a waitress at a luxury restaurant on the ocean when I was 18 and a guy asked for a sea breeze and I opened the window…. he gave me a disgusted look then told me it was a drink

3. Een bijzondere vraag, maar je moet natuurlijk altijd beleefd antwoord geven.
I worked at Olive Garden and some real winner of a turd wanted to know if “your mussels are wild or farm raised.” He chose to use the pronoun “your” and I distinctly forgot that we had mussels on the menu. So I thought he was asking about my muscles and I said “Wild, I guess.”

4. Als je het zelf maar grappig vindt.
I used to work in a Cafe and when little old ladies used to ask for a pot of tea and a pot of extra hot water, I’d say “ we use boiling water love. That’s the hottest water you can get “
None of them got it but I love laughing at my own jokes

5. Bijna hetzelfde..
Someone asked for a chamomile tea so I gave them normal tea with a shot of caramel in it🙃

6. Altijd blijven lachen.
At 17 I was barbacking in a steakhouse. I heard a customer at the bar ask “can I get a smile Alex?” Confused as to how he knew my name, I just awkwardly stood there and gave him a big uncomfortable smile. Then he repeated himself by saying “Can I *please* get a small box.”🙃

7. Hebben we in dit restaurant ook eten en drinken?
I’ll always remember an old friend of mine from Spain doing a comedy sketch and explaining that he works in a Liverpool restaurant. A couple comes in and asks “do you do scran and bevvys” (Scouse for drinks and food). To which he replies “I’ll just go and ask my manager” lmao

8. Zwemmende aardappelen.
When I was about 19 or 20 I went to a posh restaurant with a friend and tried to order the scallops, ‘no you can’t have that, you’re vegetarian’ said my friend. ‘no it’s fried potatoes – my mum makes it all the time’ said I.

9. Een creatieve oplossing.
My mate worked in a wine bar for a bit an a customer asked her for “a Chilean red wine” an she went to mix the house red with Tabasco sauce😂😂😂

10. Een beetje citroen voor meneer.
My wife once worked in a bar and was asked for a pint of lager and a bitter lemon. After looking confused and cheking the second part of the order a couple of times she poured the pint of lager and then got a slice ‘bit of’ lemon and put it in an empty glass next to the lager 🤣

11. Azijn is azijn.. toch?
When I was 18 I worked in a hotel and did some shifts as a night porter. The job sheet said “wash windows with hot water and vinegar. Get vinegar from kitchen.” The only vinegar I could find was balsamic. Didn’t know what it was so thought yep, this’ll do.

12. Klinkt ook wel lekker.
In an Italian restaurant in Florida our waiter asked me if I’d like soup or salad with my meal. I thought he said “super salad” and asked him to explain what a super salad was… 😐

13. Iemands leeftijd schatten is toch moeilijker dan je denkt.
The first time I did finance for a customer I asked his D.O.B and he says 72 and after staring at the tablet for 2 minutes thinking 72??? I say is that 1872 or 1972 😂 dead serious as well I didn’t even know why that was wrong until my manager tells me after

14. Klein bakkie is t ook wel.
When I was 16 I worked in a cafe and on my first day someone asked for an espresso. I didn’t know what it was and thought the machine was broken so I gave them a full cup of espresso 😂

15. Tot slot deze man die precies kreeg wat hij bestelde.
Was at a reception in Dubai some years ago. Ordered a beer and white wine. That was what I got – neatly poured into the same glass.
