If you’ve ever worked as a server, you know how bizarre food orders can get. From burgers without meat to pizzas with extra cheese (which means your crust is drowning in a sea of melting dairy), nothing seems off limits to customers who know what they want a little too well. Just take a look at our previous articles with shameless food orders here and here.

This particular story comes from Redditor Weasel_Cannon who worked as a server at a very popular 24-hour breakfast diner/chain in his first job. One morning, a lady arrived who said she wanted an omelette. Nothing unusual here but a regular morning meal.

“We have a list of pre-built omelettes, or you can build your own, so I ask her how she’d like her omelette,” the author wrote. “Just a regular omelette, please”, the customer said. And although Weasel_Cannon made sure she wanted an omelette “with nothing inside”, the lady kept insisting.

Now, imagine her face after “a 5-egg omelette with no fillings and no toppings” comes out. I don’t know if ‘shock’ is the right word, but let’s say the customer was far from impressed. Read below for the full story!

Scrambled eggs and omelette are two very different dishes. And unless they're quail eggs, a 5-egg omelette is going to be massive! I can't imagine how you'd eat something that size, especially if it has nothing else with it!

The authors are at least as messed up as the Karen here. They say in the first paragraph: that a pizza with extra cheese is as as "bizarre" and "shameless" as this woman or ordering a burger with the meat removed. What a couple of ignorant judgemental assholes! At least one chain I know of skimps on cheese to save money, extra cheese gets the pizza where it should be to start. And who the hell thinks more mozzarella is horrifying instead of delicious?

If you sit at a desk barely moving all day, I can see a 5-egg omelette bring too much for you, sure. If you're working a physically demanding job(like when I was a mover after HS or pouring steel 60 hrs/wk) or exercise regimen, or perhaps just a teenager-it's closer to a snack. Seriously, my best friend from HS is a physical trainer and he eats a lot of high protein meals throughout the day. High metabolism, protein fueling muscles. Feel free to dunk on Americans, we overall have it coming, but I suspect those doing the dunking have an indolence problem also.

LOL. Reminds me of going with my then boyfriend ( now husband) to a Cajun restaurant. I knew he could not do anything too spicy so was really surprised when he ordered the Escovitch trout. Are you sure you want that? Yes. Me: It is the spiciest thing on the menu? Yes, but I love trout. Me: Ok ,if you insist. As he starts sweating trying to eat the Escovitch Trout. Me: I tried to warn you. Him: I thought when you said spicy you meant lots of seasoning not a ton of hot peppers! Still makes me laugh when I think about it over 30 years later!

Surprised he married you after that, the kind thing for you to have done would be to explain that very hot peppers would be on the trout (which you knew but withheld). Do you still approach advice in this manner? I noticed you said “me” not “we” when you laugh about it.

I worked at CB in 2001. A lady ordered their egg whites, over medium. Let that sink in. I explained that there's no yolk and they come scrambled. She said she didn't want them scrambled and they need to be over medium. I desperately looked to her husband for help, but he appeared too scared of her to intervene. I relayed the request to the cook. He poured it in a pan, let it cook a bit, then folded the runny mess onto a plate. You guessed it. Karen asked for the manager.

On the other hand...I walked into a restaurant that had a big sign greeting us at the door stating they had blueberry pancakes w/blueberry syrup. I ordered it. I received blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. She walked away so fast I didn't get a chance to tell her the order was wrong. Later she came back, asked why I wasn't eating and I explained about the blueberry syrup I was expecting. She told me This restaurant doesn't have blueberry syrup, you are thinking of the place down the street. With that she grabbed my plate and loudly threw it in the trash. When I realized she wasn't coming back, I put a couple dollars on the table to pay for my coffee and left. I rechecked the sign on the way out - yep, blueberry syrup! I wonder how long she kept her job?

I never understood those people. The definition of plain is clearly understood, obvious, simple or not complicated. An example of plain is using basic language to describe something. An example of plain is unflavored yogurt. An example of plain is a woman without make-up. Plain = eggs only like unflavored yogurt

Up until he was about 8, my son didn't like the way pizza cheese tasted, so when we ordered pizza, I would order him a small cheese pizza with no cheese. He loved it and I got no grief at the pizza place.

Food service in America is an absolute nightmare. Had the most condescending man say he wanted his eggs sunny side up but well done. I’m no fool, I know he meant he wanted the whites fully cooked and the yolk runny, but his attitude forced me to correct him and explain that what he was asking for was impossible. Don’t treat your servers poorly. Seems like that would be obvious, but some people love that power trip of treating someone “beneath” them poorly.

First time I had an omelet, I had the brains enough to just read the menu to figure out how I wanted it to be. Many omelets, and decades, later I can order a custom omelet without the menu, whether at iHOP, Denny's, Waffle House, or any other restaurant. It isn't rocket science, doesn't require a Master's Degree in Food Sciences, doesn't even really require that a person be literate (my son was able to order his own omelets by the time he was 3 1/2 years old).

Worked at a Burger King and someone wanted a California burger once. They were really stingy with what that was as if this little worldly Minnesota kid would know what that is. I later learned that a California burger is actually pretty close to what is on a whopper.

A “nice” person would realize their mistake afterwards and just eat what she ordered, or asked nicely for a few toppings to be put on loosely. You didn’t mention saying to her that all she would receive is a folded plain egg, with nothing else included, which might’ve helped. But either way, leaving no tip is classless and trashy.

But did exactly as she asked. My mother could have ordered scrambled eggs, but no. It was a Plain Omelet! She was ok with it! Paid more!

Sometimes you just want your egg folded and not scrambled. Especially depending on the restaurant there could be a big difference

No it doesn't have cheese in it that is a ommelet du fromage. An omelette is eggs stired together with herbs and spices salt pepper, then poured into a hot pan. Left to kook while you loosen the eggs from the rim inwards but keeping the omelette intact. After some time you rotate the omelette and cook the other side until ready. You serve the omelette on a plate flat or folded.

I think I might have just asked her "no cheese, no onion?" I might have suggested maybe some ham? I waited tables too and our managers always pushed us to make suggestions. So I really don't get this whole thing. I say he probably wasn't a great waiter.

I agree. Although the customer was wrong, the waiter could have done a better job of explaining. Saying "you don't want one of the signature omelettes" is not very helpful if the customer doesn't know what is on the signature omelettes. The waiter did later clarify by saying 'nothing on it', but I think the conversation had already gone downhill at that point and was too late to salvage.

I think she had multiple issues. Ignorance, poor communication skills and a bad f*cking attitude. If you just stand back and smile at them, it pisses them off. But like Artsy said, “now I want an omelette “.

LOL. Reminds me of going with my then boyfriend ( now husband) to a Cajun restaurant. I knew he could not do anything too spicy so was really surprised when he ordered the Escovitch trout. Are you sure you want that? Yes. Me: It is the spiciest thing on the menu? Yes, but I love trout. Me: Ok ,if you insist. As he starts sweating trying to eat the Escovitch Trout. Me: I tried to warn you. Him: I thought when you said spicy you meant lots of seasoning not a ton of hot peppers! Still makes me laugh when I think about it over 30 years later!

Surprised he married you after that, the kind thing for you to have done would be to explain that very hot peppers would be on the trout (which you knew but withheld). Do you still approach advice in this manner? I noticed you said “me” not “we” when you laugh about it.

omelette actually derives from a word meaning "flat" and has to do with the shape, not the eggs.

I worked at CB in 2001. A lady ordered their egg whites, over medium. Let that sink in. I explained that there's no yolk and they come scrambled. She said she didn't want them scrambled and they need to be over medium. I desperately looked to her husband for help, but he appeared too scared of her to intervene. I relayed the request to the cook. He poured it in a pan, let it cook a bit, then folded the runny mess onto a plate. You guessed it. Karen asked for the manager.

On the other hand...I walked into a restaurant that had a big sign greeting us at the door stating they had blueberry pancakes w/blueberry syrup. I ordered it. I received blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. She walked away so fast I didn't get a chance to tell her the order was wrong. Later she came back, asked why I wasn't eating and I explained about the blueberry syrup I was expecting. She told me This restaurant doesn't have blueberry syrup, you are thinking of the place down the street. With that she grabbed my plate and loudly threw it in the trash. When I realized she wasn't coming back, I put a couple dollars on the table to pay for my coffee and left. I rechecked the sign on the way out - yep, blueberry syrup! I wonder how long she kept her job?

I never understood those people. The definition of plain is clearly understood, obvious, simple or not complicated. An example of plain is using basic language to describe something. An example of plain is unflavored yogurt. An example of plain is a woman without make-up. Plain = eggs only like unflavored yogurt

Up until he was about 8, my son didn't like the way pizza cheese tasted, so when we ordered pizza, I would order him a small cheese pizza with no cheese. He loved it and I got no grief at the pizza place.

Food service in America is an absolute nightmare. Had the most condescending man say he wanted his eggs sunny side up but well done. I’m no fool, I know he meant he wanted the whites fully cooked and the yolk runny, but his attitude forced me to correct him and explain that what he was asking for was impossible. Don’t treat your servers poorly. Seems like that would be obvious, but some people love that power trip of treating someone “beneath” them poorly.

First time I had an omelet, I had the brains enough to just read the menu to figure out how I wanted it to be. Many omelets, and decades, later I can order a custom omelet without the menu, whether at iHOP, Denny's, Waffle House, or any other restaurant. It isn't rocket science, doesn't require a Master's Degree in Food Sciences, doesn't even really require that a person be literate (my son was able to order his own omelets by the time he was 3 1/2 years old).

If I was the customer and the waiter/ess asked what I wanted inside, I would have gone "huh - what do you mean" and a conversation would have happened. I would have pointed to the picture, s/he would have explained and everyone would have been happy. it's called communication..

Worked at a Burger King and someone wanted a California burger once. They were really stingy with what that was as if this little worldly Minnesota kid would know what that is. I later learned that a California burger is actually pretty close to what is on a whopper.

In her defense, I really thought a plain omelet had cheese in it, but no filling. I mean, why invent a second word for scrambled eggs? BTW I only like eggs in cake anyway lol.

A “nice” person would realize their mistake afterwards and just eat what she ordered, or asked nicely for a few toppings to be put on loosely. You didn’t mention saying to her that all she would receive is a folded plain egg, with nothing else included, which might’ve helped. But either way, leaving no tip is classless and trashy.

This customer sounds exactly like my mother, she did exactly the same, order a " Plain Omelet" No Cheese No Bacon, no anything! The restaurant staff looked at her like ??? But did exactly as she asked. My mother could have ordered scrambled eggs, but no. It was a Plain Omelet! She was ok with it! Paid more!

Sometimes you just want your egg folded and not scrambled. Especially depending on the restaurant there could be a big difference

No it doesn't have cheese in it that is a ommelet du fromage. An omelette is eggs stired together with herbs and spices salt pepper, then poured into a hot pan. Left to kook while you loosen the eggs from the rim inwards but keeping the omelette intact. After some time you rotate the omelette and cook the other side until ready. You serve the omelette on a plate flat or folded.

The best thing to do cook at home that way you can have your cake and eat it too. Then no one get tick off. I like my cooking better because it isn't processed food anyway. By the way I have saved a few buck. No I am not cheap just like eating a home. Everybody is happy a Single Grandma here.

I think I might have just asked her "no cheese, no onion?" I might have suggested maybe some ham? I waited tables too and our managers always pushed us to make suggestions. So I really don't get this whole thing. I say he probably wasn't a great waiter.

I agree. Although the customer was wrong, the waiter could have done a better job of explaining. Saying "you don't want one of the signature omelettes" is not very helpful if the customer doesn't know what is on the signature omelettes. The waiter did later clarify by saying 'nothing on it', but I think the conversation had already gone downhill at that point and was too late to salvage.
