The fuck is a chicken crisper?
Is that like, a chicken strip?
If it is, then you could have just been like "Well, we have chicken strips but we call them 'chicken crispers', they're basically the same thing, so if that's what you want no problem."
Also, I just googled that shit, and yea, it literally is a chicken strip.
Everyone was in the wrong here.
I'm not excusing the manager either.
They could have been like "hey, lay off the kid, it literally is a fuckin' chicken strip"

your father should have given you a beating instead of asking for the manager

>>16940058
you were in the wrong since chicken strips and chicken crispers are basically the same thing, you were giving the kid and the family a hard time for no reason.

I believe I could have fought the father and won. He was sitting down and I was standing giving me a tactical advantage.

Its not a chicken strip; its a chicken crisper. We dont sell chicken strips at chili's

Very poor customer service

You were in the wrong because you know what he meant, but your family and manager are both cunts.

I take it back.
The manager should have fired you on the spot.

This is why autistes shouldn't be wait staff

What is the difference culinarily speaking

You call your chicken strips chicken crispers. That doesn't make them different from chicken strips. You should be glad that dad didn't knock you tf out for being an ass.

What the hell is your problem, buster? You're supposed to create a welcoming environment and an easy experience for the people giving you their money for food.

It does. It makes them chicken crispers.

[Anonymous No.16940139]

>>16940135
Ok. So, I'm not allowed to order chicken strips? You won't take my order if I call them chicken strips?

>yeah I’ll get the bacon cheeseburger
>uhh I’m very... sorry, sir, but we don’t serve that. Might I recommend the Pork Slammer Classic?
>I don’t know what that is. I just want a bacon cheeseburger
>we have the Pork Slammer Classic
>it looks like a bacon cheeseburger to me
>a bacon cheeseburger is a bacon cheeseburger, but we don’t serve that. I would hate to be presumptuous and serve you something that wasn’t requested.
>fuck it! I’ll get the Pork Slammer Classic
40 minutes later...
>what the fuck is this sauce? I just wanted a damn bacon cheeseburger
>that’s not what you ordered, sir.

They could have ordered it with no sauce. This is the customer's fault

Tip money + not getting fired should be incentive enough.

[Anonymous No.16940190]

You almost had me with the “Don’t assume what the customer wants” line.
On the off chance that this is true everyone involved had the right to smack you once.

I dunno, that sort of is the customer's fault, but on the other hand how the hell were they supposed to know it had some weird sauce on it?
Sometimes it literally is 100% on the customer though.
>be me
>bangin' out orders
>some time later
>complaint comes in
>customer didn't get their Z with their order
>Hey boss, I got a complaint here, says they didn't get Z
>I specifically remember that ticket. They ordered an X and a Y, but no Z
>boss kind of rolls their eyes, 'yea, I know, they didn't order Z.'
Honestly I think that shit is just a person either being drunk or whatever, or trying to scam us.
Maybe they really did mean to order Z as well, and just fuckin' forgot, or maybe they're just trying to get free shit. It's a toss-up.

NGL they look good. Kind of reminds me of Long John Silver's chicken strips.
It's still a damn chicken strip though.
