Maybe you've received an order of fries that were overcooked, or maybe the burger you ordered came with onions, when you asked for it to be made without them. If these things have happened to you, they still probably aren't as horrible as these stories about customers who truly ate the wrong thing!

These Shocking Stories Of Customers Who Ate The Wrong Things Include:

 

A less-than-ideal flavor profile
“I was a kid in Houston, Texas. Normally, if I was allowed to order a milkshake, I went for chocolate. This time, though, I thought I would go wild and order a strawberry milkshake.

“When I got it, it tasted super funky. Wretched. Disgusting. I tried to tell my mom but my jerk stepfather was all, ‘You ordered it, you have to drink it.' I tried. I kept trying. I would take almost-fake barely sips and whimper a little, trying not to vomit. The constant refrain was, ‘You ordered it, you have to drink it.'

“Finally, my mom took pity on me and tried a sip. She thought it was pretty funky, too, so she convinced the stepfather to try it, and then he was all too willing to send it back.

“Turns out, they kept the strawberry mix and Bloody Mary mix in the same type of containers, stored right next to one another. ” — Aly Levesceau

Quadruple sauce

“For a few summers during college, I delivered pizza for a local chain in Portland. A guy called in one day when I was taking orders and asked specifically for ‘quadruple sauce.' We didn't really do quadruple anything, so I put ‘extra sauce' on the order, we made it, delivered it, no problem.

“He called back a week later, I once again took the call. He again asked for quadruple sauce, and since I recognized him as the same guy, I asked how the previous week's pizza was. He responded, ‘There wasn't enough sauce. However much sauce you normally put on, I want four times as much.'

“I ended up making his pizza as well. Now, the normal amount of sauce for a large pizza at this restaurant was exactly one ladleful of sauce. I decide to just go for it and put on four ladles of sauce, it ended up as a giant pool of sauce. Six minutes later it came out of the oven and I could just see the toppings were cooked just fine, but were swimming on top of this sauce lake. I went to cut it and it made an awful wet noise, but it stayed intact enough, so I just kinda shrugged and let what was gonna happen, happen.

“It wasn't my delivery, so somebody else went out and delivered it. A couple hours later, the guy called back. He told me it was the best pizza he'd ever gotten.”

Those are not interchangeable
“The summer before college, I worked at Hardee's.

“One day, it was particularly busy, and the manager asked me to run back and get more vanilla shake mix out of the walk-in.

“I pause here to say that at that time, Hardee's made fried chicken and biscuits from scratch. They used tons of buttermilk. The buttermilk came in a large plastic bag that had a single green stripe.

“For some reason, the vanilla shake mix also came in a large plastic bag, but it did not have a green stripe. In my hurry, I grabbed the first plastic bag with a white mixture I saw. I ran back, and put the mixture in the shake machine.

“Twenty minutes, and many vanilla milkshakes served, a customer walked up, saying her vanilla milkshake tasted ‘off.' My manager took one sniff and, with an amazing amount of control, turned to me and asked, ‘Did you accidentally grab buttermilk, by any chance?'

OG sandwich monstrosity
“I may have killed a woman with a sandwich when I was working at Subway.

“A security guard for the strip mall I worked at came in during a slow stretch in the afternoon, and was the only person in the store. I'd served her a few times before, but today was different.

“You see, Subway had recently started one of their brief BBQ rib promotions, and this lady needed in on that sweet pork action. She ordered a foot-long double-meat rib/triple-cheese/triple-bacon sandwich on white, no veggies, with half of a bottle of mayonnaise. To explain this sandwich:

– Four patties of BBQ pork
– 12 slices of cheese
– 12 strips of bacon
– ½ cup of mayonnaise

“After assembly, she asked me to microwave it for 60 seconds. What emerged from the microwave was a warm, limp, soggy mess that felt like poorly set Jell-O in my hand.

“The woman paid and left, and I was left wondering if I should have denied her service based solely on her order. Fears that she may not have survived the sandwich were made worse by the fact that I never saw her in the store or at the strip mall ever again.” — Cullen O’Neil
