    "It's not like this when I cook at home!"

    I've been doing a few kitchen shifts, so my encounters with SC's have been limited. Last night, a co-worker came into the kitchen with a sandwich I had just prepared.

    CW: Umm, she says this one is cold.
    Me: I know...it's supposed to be cold.
    CW: Oh...
    Me: If she wants it warm I'll heat it up, but just go double check with her. It's supposed to be cold, it says on the menu it's cold.
    CW: OK...

    She goes out and returns.

    CW: She's going crazy!
    Me: Why?
    CW: I don't know, I don't know what she wants me to do, she just started going crazy!
    Me: Ok..erm...go get *manager* or if you're feeling brave...try and tell her we will make it warm if she wants.
    CW: OK...

    She returns.

    CW: She wants to speak to you.
    Me: What?
    CW: She says "It HAS to be hot! I want to speak to who made this! They made it wrong!"
    Me: It says on the menu it's cold!
    CW: I know, and she said "Well when I make my own at home I make them hot!"
    Me: OK, I'm sorry, I failed her psychic test. I can't leave the kitchen, I'm too busy, send *manager* over.

    She returns.

    CW: She just tried to get in the fucking kitchen! She's crazy!

    I get out the sandwich...I put it in the mircrowave and then the oven for a REALLY long time, and it was HOT. It also looked and smelt horrible.

    Me: There. I hope she burns herself and fucking chokes.
    CW: Don't make me go back there....

    She did. Never heard anymore on what happened.

    Seriously...who has warm CUCUMBER on their sandwich??

    What the heck kind of sandwich was it?

    The only type of sandwich my family makes that's ever hot is Grilled Cheese! Everything else is at best toasted, and usually room temp, unless we just took the bread out of the freezer.

      It was just basically SALAD inbetween two bits of bread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion. Why anyone would want that hot is just weird.

        And here I thought the whole ponit of going out to eat is so that you didn't have to make it at home.
        But if you're going to piss and moan like a toddler about it then perhaps preparing it on your own is the best choice.

          That sounds absolutely ghastly. Hot, I mean.

            Actually a lot of sandwiches are good warm.

            Paninis for instance.

            Or subs, there's a place here that steams the meat and toasts the bread on most of their subs, they're DELICIOUS.

            Oh and don't forget about french dips and philly cheese steaks... mmmmm

              A hot cucumber sandwich? I had never heard of such a thing. When I think of cucumbers I think cool. "Cool as a cucumber"

              That really is odd.

                    I didn't say we don't eat warm sandwiches, I just said those're the only ones we make at home.

                      I want to know what she does to make a salad sandwich hot!

                      The only hot sandwiches I make, other than grilled cheese, are ones where you cook the ingredients: mostly meat, some egg.
                      Seshat's self-help guide:
                      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                            I agree. I've actually heated up a cold hamburger, and all of those veggies taste horrible when heated in the microwave. What planet was that customer from?

                            Maybe someone like that should actually cook their own damn food at the restaurant they bitch and complain at?

                              Nah, they'd pull everything out looking for utensils the restaurant doesn't have, or are the wrong color, or are the wrong material; they'd take up twice as much space as everyone else and trip the workers up; they wouldn't clean up after themselves; and they would treat the workers as their personal slaves.

                              So, instead: a restaurant with no chefs, only personal cooking stalls. Bring your own ingredients or purchase them there. Put your untensils in the dishwasher when you're through. You get a $20 deposit back if the cashier approves your cleaning skills. It'd be like a laundromat. Me likey, since my dorm room has no stove and I miss cooking
