"I'd like a cheeseburger... Without cheese please!"

At this age, where fast food chains get the mot out of their buck, it has only come to follow that they accommodate the needs of their customers. The only problem: they often take it to the head and do more than what is actually necessary. the fast food chains claim that they do it to keep up with competition, but that doesn't mean they have to cater to all their customers outrageous needs! Just yesterday, I walked into a local Kudu branch, and caught this originally outrageous order:

"I'd like a double cheeseburger... without the cheese please."

My first impulse was to go and slap the waiter across his face and enquire whether his mother had dropped him on his head as a baby, because five minutes later, the waiter came back with a cheeseburger- minus the cheese.

I've listened to more of these beauties from various sources... Enjoy!

"One Chicken Caesar Salad... Minus the tomatoes... And the lettuce... oh yeah, also the carrots... and the celery!"

"Um.;.. Can you take out the fizz from the soda before you serve it to my daughter?"

"Coleslaw Salad... No mayo."

"Want one of zee Muzroom And Cheeken Zandweeches....  Wizout ze muzroomz..." (no offence, Ya Shabab...)

This list just goes on and on...... 

Fadhil's humble advice to these food chain owners: Stop tending to your customers outrageous needs! Sure, you'll lose a buck or two, but what you gain is priceless: the satisfaction of hundred employees who want nothing more than a harassment free day.

In the end, remember this: the customer is always right, but only... when he's not wrong! ;)
