The SC Collective

[customersruinmylife]

This thread goes out to all the Trekkies on the board!

I was working in the kitchen and I had a steak come back. Apparently it was cooked too well done for the customers liking. I prepared a new one and sent it out. After that, I had no more food checks, so I decided to go to the end of the bar and make myself a nice cup of coffee. I am halfway through preparing the coffee when a co-worker walked up to me with the steak I had just sent out.

CW: Can you put this on the grill for a little longer? The customer says it's too rare for him.
Me: Pah! Talk about awkward. I was just about to go on a break!

Little did I know, was that the customer was stood at the end of the bar right next to me.

SC: Demanding PERFECTION is not being awkward!

I walked back to the kitchen, trying not to laugh. I seriously expected him to say "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated"

Mmm, steak. I can understand it being a little too rare, but his attitude is a bit EWish. However, I like my steaks dripping a bit of blood.

"You're right, demanding PERFECTION makes you an asshole."

Me, I like mine medium, but so long as it's not fresh off the cow nor burned to a crisp, I love steak any way its fixed.

Mmm, rare steak... tastes like butter if prepared correctly... mouth wateringly delicious.

Mmmmm steak - Had some nice porterhouse last night, and it was perfect (but only cos I cooked it myself XD)

Except, to quote Seven of Nine, "Preparation is irrelevent."

Almost spit out my green tea rading that. I like my steaks medium well with a little bit of sauce.

She also believes traditional human food to be irrelevant, so long as she gets her nutritional supplements, and therefore, likely would neither want nor appreciate a properly prepared steak. :-P

So the first steak was too well done, the second too rare. Maybe the martini was too dry/not dry enough, or the wine was too warm/too cold or too dry/too sweet. Forget about the Borg, you are Goldilocks

[Kristev]

Too bad we can't call the Borg on these irking S. C.'s.

[KMMCurly]

His overly high expectations are illogical.

... I honestly could not stop myself

First of all, love the Star Trek reference! I'm a big sci-fi addict, especially Star Trek.

Second, I feel for you about customers "demanding perfection." I hate picky customers, especially when they are nitpicking something stupid and pointless. If they're so picky about what they want, maybe they should learn to stay home and fend for themselves.
