Writes Jennifer in Denver: “At the restaurant where I work, my co-worker has had some issues with the cooks not reading his tickets correctly.” (Apparently, Scott’s not one for the “you catch more flies with honey” approach.)

I hate it when people fuck with my food. It’s completely inappropriate and makes it taste funny.
Hopefully Scott warned the two patrons that the liquid drizzled over the top probably wasn’t Hollandaise sauce.

I cannot for the life of me come up with another breakfast dish that I could misread and prepare by mistake when glancing at “eggs benedict”. “Eggs florentine”?

I’m not sure I understand why two guests are eating 93 eggs benedicts,

I get Scott’s frustration. If an order is wrong, I never know whether it’s the waiter’s fault or the kitchen’s fault, and I’m sure some of his customers have reduced his tip wondering the same thing. Of course, cursing at the chef is probably a good way to ensure all his orders are late and incorrect.

I totally get his frustration. I consistently have issues with the cooks not reading the modifiers ( no tomato, sauce on side, etc.)….then getting PO’d at ME when I tell them they did it wrong. Read the ticket, buddy! I didn’t put that shit on there for my own amusement!! and if you are confused about it, ask me! don’t waste everyone’s time by just guessing and doing it wrong! smh

Breakfast at 11:48? Oh yes- let’s please not fuck it up for today’s self-entitled leisure class.

Eggs benedict is an easy dish to screw up. If you don’t get it just right, it’s done. Next time just make the customers order an omelet or leave.

I order breakfast for lunch and dinner all the time because sometimes eggs, bacon, and sausage are the only low-carb menu items. The “we serve breakfast all day” restaurants are why I can eat out. That could’ve been someone on a lunch break, someone with a nighttime job, and of course a weekend patron.

I can’t read the light print. Is the order “Eggs Benedict with loogie?”

This seems quite reasonable.

As someone who both waits tables and likes eggs benedict, if the dish is ready two, three, four minutes before the rest of the table and the cooks stick it under the heat lamp instead of re-firing, you have hard poached awfulness.

Really, I would.
And I would hang it in my kitchen!!!

Having worked in a kitchen with people who don’t read the ticket, or don’t read all of if, etc., I feel the pain of this author. The server is probably just tired of getting the wrong food (or whatever the problem may be), and decided to take this drastic step. Very amusing.
