I'll copy/paste this here because I know a non-insignificant number of you are the type that would boycott reddit.

So I've been working as a chef at a rather upscale italian restaurant in a prominent west coast city. About a week ago I started dating one of the waitresses who works at the same establishment. We're having a post-shift drink with a couple of co workers when I happen to mention a customer with a baby blue fedora who had come in. My gf immediately makes a sour face and groans. Obviously our collective interest is piqued, we ask how he was as a customer. She looks visibly uncomfortable and says "I don't want to talk about him, it's mean. " I find myself a bit concerned, so I asked what happened. She proceeds to sigh and finish her drink. "He asked for a chicken cordon bleu without the ham and cheese." My fellow chef and I glance at each other, I know he's a redditor, he got me into it. "So basically a chicken nugget. When I told him we don't fry our chicken in an effort to not cross contaminate our friers he straight up shrieked at me." I'm struggling to hold back laughter as i ask what the shriek sounded like. "It sounded like a SHREEEEEE sound, it scared the shit out of me and then his mother proceeded to lecture me about being intentionally uncooperative and being intimidated by the cooks." I legit start to giggle a bit and my co worker chimes in with a "that sucks, but did he have any facial hair?" She said "kind of, he had a mustache and a lot of hair on his double chin" I seriously can't stop laughing, but she seems genuinely traumatized by the entire event. For the record, the ticket I got in the kitchen was "just a fried piece of chicken cut into strips"

Edit: I apologize for the formatting, but whatever it's my first post.

I'm not 100% sure this isn't done ironically, but @Gibby seems to think this could be a genuine sample. What do you think?

Ouch, you win.

one of the oddest customer requests I received was they're allergic to nightshade vegetables during winter, basically set up a whole station in a separate room. I have some pretty weird stories from that place.

Oddly enough, I have recently (this year) discovered a sensitivity (or possibly an allergy?) to potatoes and probably any other nightshades. I've found that if I avoid them I no longer have migraines or get boils, both issues I've had since before I was 12 years old. If I reintroduce them then my symptoms return within a few days.

Damn, that sounds like an allergic reaction that is not easy to avoid. You should check out macrobiotic diets if you haven't already.
