'What the heck is this in my food?': 'Grumpy old man' has a scallop-induced meltdown over dinner, then other diners side with waiter
This person who worked at a steak and seafood restaurant had to deal with the crankiest and most entitled of customers. As the OP shared to r/TalesFromYourServer, some people just do not know how to be kind to service workers.
The writer, u/RedTailFox1957, shared this story from their time as a waiter. They had lots of regulars who were nice, but there was the odd person who would be extra demanding throughout their meal. One story that clearly stuck with the waiter was this one guy they simply called the "grumpy old man" (GOM). He and his wife came in to order some scallops, but the GOM was very, very displeased with his meal. He let out a verbal tirade on this poor waiter — I can't believe the waiter didn't burst into tears right then and there! The other customers actually sided with the OP though, after seeing how terribly the GOM was treating this worker.
Next, bite into another food story. This guy ordered a sandwich just the way he thought he wanted it, with EXTRA ONION… so the employees just did exactly as he asked.
'In comes this entitled man': Grown man gets confronted by teenage employee for smoking in a non-smoking restaurant
Either this guy refuses to read the signs or he's a jerk. Those are the only two options!
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/SeveralMarionberry42, who shared that many years ago, she was working in a fast-food restaurant and was forced to confront an entitled male customer about their "no smoking" rule. Stomaching the courage to confront someone way older than you to enforce a rule is hard enough. The fact that this guy continued to refuse to follow the rules and kept smoking anyway says quite a bit about his level of entitlement, his inability to follow the rules, and his condescension (probably as a result of the age dynamic). For me, this is not about the smoking. It's about this guy's refusal to take the Redditor seriously and his active choice to give her a hard time.

'I found this highly inappropriate': Disney Karen complains that park is losing its magic over cast member's 'smart comment'
New internet rule just dropped: If you have to ask if you were the Karen in a situation, you definitely were. This particular woman was even being a Karen at the "happiest place on Earth," Disney!
You can tell this person is familiar with the parks, hence the sense of entitlement she has over controlling 100% of her park experience. "Please tell me I wasn't being a Karen. Yesterday my husband and I went to the Studios…" her note begins. Some commenters were cracking up at her casual reference to Disney's Hollywood Studios, where the ride she got upset about is located.
For this Karen, it was too much for a cast member to be polite. Heaven forbid they break the immersion of the park with some tiny amount of chatting! If this tiny little 5-second interaction had this much of a hold on her, I don't want to know what she's like the rest of the time when she's not at a theme park.
Next, continue on your quest for cringe. This guy was mega cringy at his GF's sister's wedding, and ruined a normal moment with a weird gesture.
'Beers are cheap too, always under a buck': Innovative Montana Man Makes a Kegerator Out of a Taxidermied Deer, Creating the Ultimate Tailgate Beer Dispenser
When you think of the ultimate tailgate party, you probably imagine a bit of fanfare, winning team glory, strangely plated snack displays, and of course, copious amount of alcohol. Drinking beer is an important staple for any football franchise and has become ingrained in the culture of the game, inspiring sports fans to binge from start to finish. If your team wins, time to celebrate and have a beer! If your team loses, time to drown your sorrows with a pint.
One football fan, a die-hard Montana State University student, created the ultimate beer-toting mega keg, combining unusual drunken desires, innovation, and taxidermy. Jess Pottenger, a Montana local man, was tired of simply pouring beers from a can or doing traditional keg stands. At his tailgates, he wanted to stand out from the other groups. Using a deer he hunted during the fall season, he created a taxidermied buck that dispenses beer straight from its nether-region and in doing so, he built the most epic beer keg (or should I say "deer keg")!
Jess has received tons of notoriety from his deer keg. With a spout for a rear end, this deer is certainly the talk of the town and has quickly become a statement piece at every event. Who knew that a simple woodland deer would age into what can only be described as a small town novelty hero. It really makes you wonder, does beer taste better when it comes from somewhere special? According to Jess and his tailgating buddies, the beer that flows through the deer tastes almost as sweet as an MSU victory.
'If you cant understand this, then go the the manager': Picky Karen asks for quesadillas with no cheese or toppings, gets enraged when she's charged full price
You can't be picky and complain about prices. That's too much Karen energy for one body. And it's certainly too much Karen energy for a restaurant worker to have to deal with during a busy shift. But alas, that's exactly what happened to u/wastingtimaway, who shared this thread on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit.
Here's how it all went down. Karen asked for two quesadillas that were gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, basically all the things. Of course, we sympathize with folks who have dietary restrictions; that's not the issue here. The issue was that the Redditor anticipated that if they rang up the order as two quesadillas, it would still be $24 despite the missing ingredients. They tried to help the customer out by asking if she wanted a lettuce wrap instead or something else that would be more bang for her buck, so to speak. Nope! She was insistent that she wanted the two quesadillas her way and was particularly rude about it. So you can imagine her shock when she saw that the price hadn't changed. Our opinion? This was 100% picky Karen's fault.
