Share some funny restaurant server stories.

One horror story is when a server had a customer who was extremely rude. The customer constantly complained about every little thing, from the temperature of the water to the color of the tablecloth. The server tried to be polite but the customer just kept berating them in front of other diners.

I heard about a server who accidentally spilled water on a customer. The customer was really nice about it and joked, 'At least it's not hot coffee like in those lawsuit stories!' The server was so relieved and they ended up having a great conversation. It shows that a little humor can turn an awkward situation around.

Once a process server was looking for a person in a big apartment building. He knocked on the wrong door by mistake. The old lady who opened the door thought he was a salesman and started lecturing him about how she didn't need any products. When he finally got a chance to explain, she laughed so hard at the mix - up and told him where the person he was actually looking for might be.

There was this little family-owned Italian restaurant. A customer ordered a pizza but when it arrived, it had the most ridiculously long cheese strands. When he tried to pull a slice, the cheese went all over the table and his face. Everyone around started laughing, and the chef came out and said it was his special 'cheesy surprise' pizza.

Sure. Once I was in a subway restaurant and there was a little boy who thought the pickles were green candies. He took a big bite and made the funniest face. Everyone in the store was laughing.

One server horror story is when a company's server crashed during a major product launch. All the promotional materials, customer data related to the launch were inaccessible. It led to a huge loss in potential sales and damaged the company's reputation.

At a certain fast food joint, there was a new trainee. A customer ordered a large meal with a milkshake. The trainee was so nervous that when he handed the milkshake to the customer, it slipped from his hand and landed right on the customer's head. Everyone was shocked at first, but then the customer started laughing and said it was the coolest 'ice - cream' hair ever. The restaurant gave him a free meal for the inconvenience.

Rude customers are very common. They can be rude in different ways like complaining non - stop or being disrespectful to the server's efforts. Another common element is mistakes in orders. Sometimes it's the kitchen's fault but the server has to face the angry customers.

In a busy kitchen, a new cook was trying to flip a pancake but it flew out of the pan and landed right on a customer's plate as the waiter was passing by. The customer was so surprised but took it in good humor. There was a lot of laughter in the kitchen afterwards. It taught the new cook to be more careful and also showed that sometimes these little accidents can create a fun memory.

One horror story is about a major data loss during a system upgrade. The upgrade process had some untested scripts that ended up deleting crucial data tables instead of modifying them. It was a nightmare as there was no proper backup strategy in place. The company had to spend weeks trying to recover what they could from old backups and logs.
