Food
ADVERTIsem*nT
Anyone who’s ever worked in the food service industry knows that far from every customer is going to be kind, polite, and decent. Sooner or later, you’ll run into someone rude and entitled. But it’s arguably worse to wait on someone who is completely clueless about what establishment they’re at.
Redditor u/tanksandthefunkybun, who works at a sushi restaurant, went viral on the r/Serverlife subreddit after venting about customers who don’t even understand what sushi and sashimi are. They show up, they order expensive dishes, and they’re flabbergasted when raw fish gets brought to their table. Read on for the full story about just how ignorant some folks can be.
Unfortunately, there are people out there who order dishes without understanding what’s in them

While I can’t stand the thought of searing good sashimi, there are options for sushi made without raw fish. I have had sushi topped with shrimp, squid, crab, octopus, or eel, all of which was cooked first.

I died a little inside at the thought of taking a blowtorch to sashimi.

You and I both... like when someone comes in and orders Ahi Tuna well done... I'm like... "just go get a can of cat food, eh?"

The first time I had sushi, I wasn't used to eat raw meat/fish. The very traditional restaurant in which we went served a mix of salmon/tuna (very few pieces) mackerel (which I truly didn't like), clam (yuk for me), sea bream or something similar and (cooked) octopus. I ate everything on my plate and aknowledge salmon and sea bream were good, the rest not so much to my taste. And that was it. I didn't asked to change anything in my plate and when the waiter asked if it was good I said 'it's unusual for me but it's very well made and the plate is beautiful, thanks'. Now we have occidental sushi shops everywhere and I know what to order.

I love sushi, and my Grandparents took me out to a Sushi place for my 28th birthday. They had no idea, and did not like pretty much anything. They still tried everything though, and their reactions were priceless. My Grandad now thinks pickled ginger should be served everywhere, and wasabi is the devil. I love my Grandad.
