I'll never forget the customer who sent back her beef ravioli after eating the entire dish... Because she was a vegetarian.

Cow: "I'll have the carbonara but can I change the tagliatelle for lasagna and can I have crab and lobster instead of the carbonara sauce? Oh, and can I have the lasagne sauce with that?' Me: "Oh, you want the lobster and crab lasagne?" Cow: "No, I want the carbonara but change some of the ingredients! Duh! And don't overcharge me either or I'll have you fired. I know the owner" Me: "Hey mum (the owner), do you know this person?" The rest is history.

I had a regular at my bar who spoke with a thick Southern accent, always wore an Alabama Crimson Tide shirt or some variant, would only drink beers from the South (Naked Pig Pale being his go to) which I kept in stock just for him, and would sit at the bar, bet the horse races, regale us with tales from his youth, get a little too drunk and leave to take care of his mother. He was there every single day except Thursdays. He demanded we keep Alabama beer in stock and always wanted replays of old Crimson Tide games on TV. It got to the ppint i started downloading them into a drive and playing them for him, since espn U is only good for so much.We all thought he was crazy but he was nice enough. This went on for an entire year. Our entire staff knew him and he was pretty well liked. We had to ask him to leave once or twice because he decided to impress someone or would win a couple races and start drinking scotch and get a little out of hand, but he was generally really polite and respectful. One day he just stopped coming in. One of the older ladies who worked at the track had his phone number, since she had the habit of saving him race books for the tracks he liked, so she called him a few times. Nothing. About a month later the Police showed up to ask some people at the bar about him, if they might know where he is. We all told them what we knew but apparently not a word of it was true. His name wasn't Scott, he wasn't from the South and his mother had been dead for quite a while. Turns out he had seduced an older, southern lady with his charms and wiles, created an entire life with her for her money (supposedly), then disappeared with the money and the lady turned up dead. Police said it was from natural causes but the timing was so odd they still needed to find him to question him. He came back in for a single drink about 4 months later and he left an envelope for our 3 bartenders he liked and the lady who held racing books for him. $1500 in each. I served him and asked my manager at the time what she thought I should do. She asked if I felt uncomfortable; I said no and since cops aren't great for business at a horse track we just decided to leave it be. I walked back out and he had left, leaving a simply written "thanks for being a friend" on a napkin with $704.50 in cash under it. The $4.50 was for the beer; and my rent, as he had asked about many months before in a random conversation, was $700 at the time. Dunno if he remembered or if it was just a coincidence. He was gone and I never saw him again, and his phone number is now out of service. I think about him a couple times a week at least.

Ive had an older gentleman ask me to smile so he could see my teeth. He told me I had really nice teeth and looked like I took care of them. He was with his adult son who then apologized and informed me that his dad was a dentist but has alzheimer's so he didn't mean to be weird.Show All 5 Upvotes
