Describe the worst customer you have ever had to serve.
There was a guy in the UK, when I was working there, who demanded overcooked fish and chips.We had to send the dish out to him a second time. He still wasn’t happy. He started waving some sort of a black credit card, and started shouting that he could buy the whole restaurant with the card. So I told him to get out, get stuffed and buy another restaurant.
