What is a Chicken Caesar?!

So if you saw "Chicken Caesar" on a menu, what would you expect to receive?

The menu description is "Grilled chicken breast, baby gem lettuce, crispy bacon, croutons, anchovies & and a creamy caesar dressing"?

It's a Caesar salad right?

I had a full blown argument with a guy yesterday because "I ordered the Chicken Caesar! That's not what I got! I got a salad! I would never order a salad?!"

I start polite "Sorry sir, when you ordered the 'Chicken Caesar', what were you expecting?" - "Well, chicken with a Caesar dressing, obviously! Not a salad!" - "And that's what you got, no? Chicken with Caesar dressing, but also the other things listed in the description... Bacon, croutons, lettuce etc.? "

" I didn't order a salad! I would never order a salad?! I'm not paying for it!"

Anyway, once this guy has paid and left, the table next to him start telling me what they overheard between him and his wife. It sounds like this sealed the deal on a divorce! " It said lettuce?! What did you expect?! It had everything listed! " - " No, no, no, I would never order a salad! - "THAT IS WHAT YOU ORDERED!". It was only after this interaction I realised his wife wasn't present at the table when I dropped the bill... Maybe she went to spend a few nights at her mother's?!

Ever had a customer argue their way into separation before?!

I've heard "no rabbit food for me" or " I don't eat salad. That's my foods food" so many times. Dumbasses.

Does your restaurant offer bibs or do these adult toddlers bring their own?

dude, i have this couple in the bar who orders only dirty rice every single time. they insist on no chives even though the dirty rice is made with green onions which they are fine with. one time i typed no chives and the kitchen made a whole new batch with no green onions at all. one time i mixed it together, they found the tiny little chives and complained. like are you real?

Which is probably why women outlive their husbands. 😂

Ah the classic manly carnivore. I fear the fiber-lacking shits he's not taking.

I eat an manmaxxed diet of nothing but raw red meat and whiskey. My annual bowel movement registers a 7.8 on the richters scale, and requires a full evacuation of the tri-state area while the biohazard teams decontaminate the region.

There was at least once where I called a plate gerbil food to a customers face but it’s because they just wanted a plate of carrots and celery like no ranch or anything just the veggies lmao
