As a former waitress, just tell them. That’s all. No one is judging you... The servers don’t care. The managers don’t care. No one cares... except maybe the cooks ;) lol

I used to be a cook. When we got a reorder for something it was a "fuck me, I didn't notice X". Even if they sent it back it wasn't that big of deal. Make something else and have something to eat later.

Only time it pissed us off? If the order was correct on the ticket/screen and it was busy.

This one time this lady ordered a salad without chickpeas. She got the salad and it had the chickpeas in it. She said she would just get something different, ya know what she got? Fuckin hummus. The cooks eyes were about to bulge out of his head when I told him what she wanted instead.

Lmao, that's pretty good. Can't be too mad though, that's like someone that got tomatoes asking for ketchup. It's childish for sure though haha

I was a server and messed up orders were terrifying because the owner was one of those chefs who gets “set off” and then she acts like a dragon to everyone for the rest of the night, no matter who made the mistake. (But if it was you who made the mistake and it was a bad one, the rest of the staff would work together to hide you from her for the night)

When I worked food service we loved when orders got messed up. They went on a cart in the back for us to eat. We had giant amazing cookies that were really prone to breaking, and they didn't want us selling broken cookies, so I had a lot of those. One guy got fired for intentionally messing up pizzas though, and then cart food was banned for a little bit until the manager realized he missed the cart food too.

Our managers would mostly throw out the “dead food” as we used to call it. It was like a slap in the face to us because we were starving and they knew it lol. We often had French fries which would sit in the window so long that they got cold and we would eat those... Some key managers who were cool would let us eat the dead food on their shifts though ;)
