This morning at my gym I went to the restaurant to order breakfast. I ordered an omelette with spinach and cheese, I dieting so I asked for the cheese on the side so I can add the amount I wanted to the omelette rather than not know how much is in there. The waitress then chuckled to herself at my request of cheese on the side.

I was then asked if I'd like regular chips or sweet potato fries with it, I asked if I could have toast instead please? She laughed again and said to her colleague "oh the chef is going to love this order eyeroll can you make sure he knows please"

AIBU to think she was rude? If you rrally must mock my order please do it after I've paid and left the bar and can't hear 🫠

I wonder if they buy their omelettes in ready made so can't make changes to them. Not that this would excuse her rudeness.

Chips at breakfast is madness.

I'm glad to hear I'm not just being sensitive. Yes I thought it was a simple enough swap, especially at breakfast time

I don't think she was rude. I think you were being a pain in the neck and she was going to get a lot of earache from the chef. Is there a reason why you can't actually order what's on the actual menu?

That's really poor service.

In a similar vein, I once had a masseuse complain to me about how much she hated doing full-body massage... while giving me a full-body massage. She lost a customer, obvs.

When she said about the chef loving this order I would have said "why's that then" and called her out on it at the time.

They serve chips with breakfast? Surely most people say no and change to toys or no carbs at all. Yeah, she was rude.

Very rude! toast is a easy substitution and cheese on the side would be easy to do I would have thought!

Yes, she was unprofessional at best and rude at worst

Both rude AND unprofessional

Not so much rude as unprofessional, I think.
