Can I tell you about a couple of weird customers...

So I have these "regulars" that come in the restaurant I work at and they do the most bizarre thing. First of all they come in and eat at this place about 5 nights a week...every week, and they order the.same.meal. every single time (they split a meal). The weird part is that immediately when the I come to the table, they hand me this little piece of paper with their order TYPED out. Then the woman asks if I have any questions about it. Its so weird and a bit insulting b/c it gives me the impression that they think their order it so complicated (which it is not), that no one could possibly "get it right." On top of all this, the tip pretty horribly. Strange people.

    That is incredibly odd.  There must be more to their story that you're not aware of.  The bad tipping part sucks.

    Weird!  My first thought with the typed order was that maybe they're hearing impaired. But it sounds like she talks to you. Maybe they are autistic? I think that often times they can take comfort in routine and also have a hard time navigating through social norms. 

    I wonder!

    HAHA! They sound super anal!

    That is almost as funny as the couple that are regulars at my sister's resturant that she waitresses at. There is couple that are swingers that come in every sunday morning with a new "third party" and have tried to get my sister to come home with them several times. So nasty!

    Lol. I wonder if they are bad tippers too!

    What do they order? Do you think they just print off a bunch of these at once? Really really strange. Really

    if i told you what they ordered, it would probably give away where i work. im not so sure they would be too happy with me talking about customers, lol. yeah i would bet on the fact that this woman either has something saved on her computer or a whole stash in her purse.

    I think you should either save one and then just show it to them and say, "this?" OR start printing your own fun messages for them (anything really, song lyrics, calories in the meal they ordered, facts about giraffes) Up the weird factor just for fun!! They give you a message, you give them one.
