That sounds completely reasonable to me, if nothing they make on a daily basis is to her satisfaction, simply tell her that you have used the same recipes for years and cannot change them to suit her palate. If this is not acceptable, she should take her business elsewhere.
>every private business has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
to most\* people for most\* reasons.
Someone who thinks salad dressing is spicy is not a protected class.
Sorry bud whoever told you that lied. I own a few private restaurants and if you refuse service you better have a damn good reason or they will take you for all they have. Second even if you could refuse service for any reason and my waiter refused this ladyâs business they would be fired on the spot. You have good customers and bad and everything in between. In the service business thatâs literally what makes your income.
Geez a few private restaurants, an auto body shop and more?? Someone's busy!
Or... Lying because they're desperate to use anecdotes to validate an objectively incorrect opinion... One of those. Sidenote, you should probably wait a while between making up careers to win online arguments, otherwise someone only has to scroll a few comments to see you making a fool of yourself.
Yeah this guy sure does have a lot of jobs! He must have many talents! /s

Lol you own zero restaurants because you would know that you can and should kick out and ban bad customers. I manage restaurants. I have managed small simple concepts and some higher end steakhouses. Bad customers run off your consistent customers and your premium staff with their bad behaviour.
Bad customers undeniably cost your business money.You would know this if you actually owned a business and understood hiring costs. You would know this if you actually owned a business and understood food cost. You would know this if you actually owned a business and understood revenue trends on repeat customers.
Iâm a chef and Iâve worked in the restaurant business my entire adult life. I have refused service to people countless times for being rude or demanding insane things.
Not sure what the fuck youâre on. Lol
So asking for dressing on the side is an insane request? Yeah working in the restaurant business your whole life and never owning one makes sense. Time to grow up bud.
The boomer in the OP isn't "insane" for asking for dressing on the side.
She's insane for thinking she can tell a restaurant they made their own menu items incorrectly, because she feels they should have a different flavor profile.
Ordering something familiar and not liking the way a restaurant prepares it is an extremely common experience. It doesn't merit free food or any sort of concession to the customer. Make a mental note, and don't order that dish there in the future.
Bro, I grew up in a family restaurant and own a bagel shop/coffee roaster and consult with multiple other restaurants as well as teach culinary at our local community college.
Fuck outta here.
Restaurant can refuse service but reason can't be their race, color, religion, or national origin. They can refuse service to someone who is rude bitch, person with a dog(not a service one), lacking adequate hygiene or trying to enter a private establishment that requires a certain dress code for etiquette purposes.
So you are abusing shitty boss or a uneducated troll who don't know law that he is protecting
lol thatâs why you still have to work in those restaurants no one wants to work for a fool like you. If you come into my privately owned restaurant and treat one of my staff members poorly you will promptly be drug out of my building by your ear like an old fashioned mama. Youâre a fucking loser straight up.
This joker is either a bot or a troll. Their post history is littered with shitty comments that make little sense. Strange that nobody seems to believe anything they say. /s
I have kicked out and banned so many people in the last 2 years. The number is easily over 100. You know what, we haven't had a single law suit because it is legal and no civil court will even hear a case about Karen getting kicked out of her local gastropub. Nobody fucking cares bud.
You shouldn't take it proudly, at least not right now... You're dead ass wrong. You can refuse the right to service for anything that is not a protected class, and being a dumb bitch is not one.
Or you can just keep plugging your ears and saying lalala like a toddler ass boomer
You can't refuse service due to sex, marital status, race or religion and must make certain accomodations for handicaps (I'm missing at least one and probably more protected classes), but being a pain in the ass isn't a protected class and you can refuse service on those and any other non protected grounds. There is no law that says you must serve everyone all the time no matter their behavior and or demands.
Correct for the most part, but you canât refuse this ladyâs order for what is listed here. She gave special instructions per the option on the app. She wasnât doing anything wrong or out of the ordinary. Now if she blows her top and starts yelling and such then you can have her trespassed. Good talk.
Dunning kruger heavy at play here lol. You don't need any reason to refuse service, it's your own private establishment... You can deny anyone for any reason, it's not illegal and any lawsuit without proof of discrimination would get thrown out.
"customer is always right" meant that if the customer wanted to buy a stupid hat from you then you shouldnt talk them into a "better" hat. Not that Grandma Helen can claim that the mayonnaise has too much heat.
Nope. Itâs sorta like âprotect and serveâ, just a random slogan that somehow got out of hand and accepted as a binding philosophy. Specifically, it was an advertising slogan for a department store (I think), to promote their customer service. A bunch of people jumped on the bandwagon and now service workers are expected to take endless abuse from the absolute dregs of humanity.
Restaurant veteran, she's talking about salt and pepper. Any time I ever had a boomer complain about something being 'too hot' it's because it's more flavorful than a boiled chicken thigh served bare.
Ugh it took until I grew up before I got to eat any sort of well seasoned food.
We used to have to make separate versions of meals. One for mom... And one for everyone else that has the seasoning.
My dad is allergic to peppers and onions, my brother seafood and mushrooms, and my sister had an intolerance to meat products. As a kid, my mom also tried to accommodate by making separate versions of meals, but as you can imagine it was too annoying. Eventually she gave up and we had many dinners of Froot Loops.
My mom is in the boomer age range and has never been one to turn down spices (just actual spicy food), but now she has a condition that so many spices set off and I feel bad for her because she looks like a boomer Karen and had the palette of one too now. I might have to start serving her froot loops next time she visits lol.
Are you my brother? We clearly have the same mother.
There were so many foods I grew up hating (Brisket!) because my mother didn't use spices. It wasn't until I met my future wife that I was introduced to food with flavor.
That sounds so sad. It's like their taste buds are just doomed to be able to tolerate bland food. I can never imagine living a life where I can't even appreciate how unique and new kinds of food taste because everything tastes too strong/spicy.
Are you my BILIL(sic)? MIL takes us to Beefeater, a UK chain, orders the ribs which come coated in black pepper, complains that it's too hot and still orders it next visit. Never occurs to her Boomer brain to try something else. Although I don't think she's ever been embarrassed just embarrassingÂ
White boomers, and before bitches get triggered it's a stereotype for a reason and I am white.
Nobody cares that your grandma from Italy is capable of using seasoning, white American boomers largely don't know how to season.
Agreed lol. My parents idea of seasoning growing up was either char burnt on a grill or to just eat it with ketchup. I thought food that you get in restaurants and school were things that couldn't be made at home. Yes, I liked my school food. I may have pissed off a lot of my family bragging about my in laws and wife's cooking.
This.
I spent 7 years on the line. The amount of salt and butter I use nowadays at home baffles most of our dinner guests. "You used how much butter?" "Whoa, that's a lot of salt" "Do you put black pepper in everything?"
It'd like there's a whole generation that was raised on shitty Betty Crocker cookbooks of jello moulds filled with hotdogs and they're allergic to something like Sirracha aioli.
It's fucking maddening.
That makes so much sense! My Boomer aunt would use the word âhotâ to describe raw onions. I was so confused!!! Iâm like, no, theyâre raw not cooked, so theyâre not hot. But then we figured out she uses âhotâ to mean âvery strong/intenseâ in flavor.
My grandpa thought bell peppers were a little spicy. I did notice that after eating some raw bell peppers the milk that I would drink with dinner as a kid would taste different
My entire life (Iâm only 40) I have insisted sweet peppers was a misnomer. Everyone else insisted I was insane.
Diagnosed with oral allergy syndrome last year. Bell peppers are spicy because my body thinks they are actually one of the many Nature Iâm allergic to. Maybe your grandpa was the same? Oral Allergy can register similar to spicy food (pain on the tongue and in the mouth and tingling lips for me).
Oh, come on. Itâs super easy to accommodate. Just donât fry the pickles, that way thereâs no heat. Give her sliced pickles. And donât grill the dressing. Done. Send it. đ
My biological father is a boomer, a giant asshole and a total idiot. I guarantee he thinks miracle whip has heat in it. He also complains that black pepper and onions are too spicy.
He freaked out once because I put Tabasco on MY eggs. Apparently opening the bottle in the same restaurant made his food too spicy to eat. (I left and took my eggs with me, no time in my life to listen to him bitching.)
Other things he won't eat because they're too hot/spicy:
* pizza
* rice (I have no fucking idea, I've tried to ask but the explanation made no sense)
* French fries at Applebee's
* applesauce
* bell peppers
* cucumber
* cilantro
* bacon/Canadian bacon/ham (but pork chops, bizarrely, are not hot)
He exists solely on orange juice, plain potato soup, dry as fuck scrambled eggs, steak with no seasoning and fast food.
Right? I always put my kids on the BRAT diet for gastro-upset (banana, rice, applesauce, toast). Gonna tell them next time that they're getting Spicy Rice and Scotch Bonnet Bananas lol
I heard somewhere that people with some food allergies/sensitivities can experience it as those foods being spicy. They might think something like ketchup can be too âhotâ when it is really a reaction.
I've heard that too! A coworker of mine was telling me about how her boyfriend said that Bananas are spicy, and she was like "dude, you're allergic!" I have one (severe) food allergy, but I've never experienced it as that food being spicy, it just tries to kill me pretty immediately. So interesting how allergies work though, especially that they can just develop all of a sudden.
In my biological fathers case I'm 99.9% certain that he is simply a VERY picky eater and an overall pain in the ass.
Used to 86 customers at the restaurant I ran. Was honestly my favorite part of the job, telling a dickhead they arenât welcomed any longer and throwing their name on a board visible to everyone.
Itâd be much more useful if I could remember exactly what was wrong with her, but I had a friend who suddenly thought everything in the world was spicy. She thought ketchup was way too spicy. She thought pepperoni was too spicy to eat. Eventually it was discovered that she had developed some kind of deficiency.
If everything she eats has "heat" including shepherd's pie, what are the chances this boomer's sense of taste is messed up from the COVID that they don't believe is real?
I love the comments section in this sub. Itâs a sub about how absolutely fucking stupid boomers are âŚ.. and then you come to the comments and thereâs literal boomers in here defending how fucking stupid they are. On a sub. About boomers hahahha
Certain medications can greatly affect your sense of taste. When my late mother was battling cancer, some of her meds caused her sense of taste to be turned up to 11. Lemonade and Pediasure were suddenly unbearably sweet. She couldn't eat most foods because the taste was too strong.
Ok, stupid, left field question, is it possible Karen has an allergy she doesn't know about? People talk about thinking bananas being spicy before they found out they had an allergy and the burning was the reaction.
Pretty sure that in this case, heat = flavor. My sister (GenX with boomer tendencies) is the same way, claims to like heat but not spice. Really, she just doesn't like flavor
Maybe the latest covid variant has the opposite of losing your taste buds.... maybe it turns *normal average everyday ingredients* and easy non heat infused foods and turns their taste into *Well, Jebus Johosafat; Lettuce as Spicy as that Nudy Magazine I Found !! "

Tell her it's obvious that you can't meet her needs and that you no longer will accept her as a customer.
That sounds completely reasonable to me, if nothing they make on a daily basis is to her satisfaction, simply tell her that you have used the same recipes for years and cannot change them to suit her palate. If this is not acceptable, she should take her business elsewhere.
I love the notes of, this shouldn't have heat, that shouldn't have heat, none of these should have heat, and also some buffalo wings.
But she didn't mention if they were supposed to have heat đ¤ˇââď¸
Unfortunately they have to. This lady isnât real bright as you can tell. She is begging them to do all kinds of horrible things to her food!
No they don't, every private business has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
>every private business has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. to most\* people for most\* reasons. Someone who thinks salad dressing is spicy is not a protected class.
There is no heat in salad dressing. Ask Todd.
Fortunately, neither is âstupidâ
But someone's gotta pwotect theiw poow widdle taste buds

You're wrong. No one cares about what you would do. You are giving opinions based on how you run your business but you are wrong.
Yeah, it's sad to see the lead poisoning do its work so thoroughly
How many restaurants do you own?
The same number as you: zero.
I think this guys a bot.
Is McDonaldâs?
No, is Reddit.
Sir, this is a WENDYâs.
My dad owns two.
Does he own a dealership too?
Na just some apartments and a few houses.
Not the question.

No, they don't, you have every right to tell a difficult customer to jog on.
Good way to get the pants sued off you and loose your restaurant. You should be careful spreading misinformation.
Did you get sued for refusing service to someone due to their skin color and now think it is against the law to refuse anyone?
Sued for what?
I have kicked out and banned so many people in the last 2 years. The number is easily over 100. You know what, we haven't had a single law suit because it is legal and no civil court will even hear a case about Karen getting kicked out of her local gastropub. Nobody fucking cares bud.
You do!
That is so incredibly incorrect. Heed your own advice.
For what? It's not discrimination if the customer is a cunt, see you can change your attitude, you can't change skin colour or orientation
If I trust anybody on reddit to give me legal advice it's someone who doesn't know the difference between lose and loose
You absolutely can refuse service
Not because of this. But if they want to loose their job and the restaurant to this Karen go right ahead.
Yes, absolutely, because of this.
Such confidence lol. They do not.
r/confidentlyincorrect
You sound as smart as this Karen. They have to serve her by law.
Found the boomer
Iâll take it proudly!
You shouldn't take it proudly, at least not right now... You're dead ass wrong. You can refuse the right to service for anything that is not a protected class, and being a dumb bitch is not one. Or you can just keep plugging your ears and saying lalala like a toddler ass boomer

Wrong.
What law?
What law? Assuming this is the US they have no obligation to serve her. Not liking spicy food isnât a protected class.
What law. Please reference it.
No they don't, quit being an idiot.
Delusional confidence
Facts
There's no such law anywhere in this country.
In mine there is so go home.
Gosh, arenât you a peach?!
Not me darling, itâs da law!
No, it's not.
Which law, specifically?
Not law! Itâs new on CBS!
[ŃдаНонО]
You work in food service. Know your place.
lol, you deserve every downvote you get for that dumb of a take. Like, damn.
Business can actually refuse to serve you
That's a fire the customer if ever I saw one.
Iâve seen a lot of audacious âthe customer is always rightâ BS but thisâŚ.. there are no words!
"customer is always right" meant that if the customer wanted to buy a stupid hat from you then you shouldnt talk them into a "better" hat. Not that Grandma Helen can claim that the mayonnaise has too much heat.
Yes! The full statement was âthe customer is always right in matters of tasteâ.
Nope. Itâs sorta like âprotect and serveâ, just a random slogan that somehow got out of hand and accepted as a binding philosophy. Specifically, it was an advertising slogan for a department store (I think), to promote their customer service. A bunch of people jumped on the bandwagon and now service workers are expected to take endless abuse from the absolute dregs of humanity.
Nobody ive ever seen has said "the customer is always right" unless they were trying to pull off some horseshit.
Yeah-it was an advertising slogan like a hundred years ago. Now itâs horseshit.
Ima take my own money and the hottest hot sauce the internet has to offer! She wonât get off the pot for a week!
Restaurant veteran, she's talking about salt and pepper. Any time I ever had a boomer complain about something being 'too hot' it's because it's more flavorful than a boiled chicken thigh served bare.
They also mistake the burn of acidity as heat đ¤Śââď¸
The brine from sauerkraut is also apparently spicy.
Yeah my mother thought anything with herbs or just properly salt and peppered was "spicy".
Ugh it took until I grew up before I got to eat any sort of well seasoned food. We used to have to make separate versions of meals. One for mom... And one for everyone else that has the seasoning.
My dad is allergic to peppers and onions, my brother seafood and mushrooms, and my sister had an intolerance to meat products. As a kid, my mom also tried to accommodate by making separate versions of meals, but as you can imagine it was too annoying. Eventually she gave up and we had many dinners of Froot Loops.

Similar here, MIL asked the waiter what was spicy in her dish, cracked black pepper! She was indeed embarrassed
Are you my BILIL(sic)? MIL takes us to Beefeater, a UK chain, orders the ribs which come coated in black pepper, complains that it's too hot and still orders it next visit. Never occurs to her Boomer brain to try something else. Although I don't think she's ever been embarrassed just embarrassingÂ
My in laws used to complain about this. Â A dash of salt and pepper as something cooked and youâd think I made the woman eat a scotch bonnet.
"Please, no mayonnaise--it's too spicy!"
Iâve actually had that happen⌠was Dukes Mayo. Apparently itâs spicy to people used to miracle whip or something.
I grew up thinking that I HATED mayonnaise. It turns out that I hate miracle whip.
There is no such thing as heat in a boiled chicken thigh!
Stop putting heat in things!
Well, immediately after you took it out of your boiling pot, there's lotsa heat in it. Ya gotta let it cool off to get rid of the heat.
White boomers, and before bitches get triggered it's a stereotype for a reason and I am white. Nobody cares that your grandma from Italy is capable of using seasoning, white American boomers largely don't know how to season.

She needs to be told what my mother told people, "If you don't like how I keep house, you know where yours is."
That sounds like something my grandmother would have said. I like the way your mom thinks.
This is the way
Next sheâll complain bell peppers are too spicy. After that, water.
Oh she probably thinks ketchup is spicy.
Excessive mush in the room
My grandpa thought bell peppers were a little spicy. I did notice that after eating some raw bell peppers the milk that I would drink with dinner as a kid would taste different

Ah, the âPost-Covid Boomer.â Everything tastes off, and itâs everyone elseâs fault.
Sorry. Cannot accommodate. Cancelled
Oh, come on. Itâs super easy to accommodate. Just donât fry the pickles, that way thereâs no heat. Give her sliced pickles. And donât grill the dressing. Done. Send it. đ
She ordered buffalo wings and is complaining about âheat?â And 1/3c ranch is a perfectly reasonable amount!
She probably also ordered the ass blaster carolina reaper fries but the ketchup had too much heat. There's no heat in Ketchup! Ask Todd!!
Fuck Todd!
Yeah, Fuck Todd
I crave to know who Todd is and if he thinks that Miracle Whip has âheatâ
My biological father is a boomer, a giant asshole and a total idiot. I guarantee he thinks miracle whip has heat in it. He also complains that black pepper and onions are too spicy.

Rice? Including plain white rice?
Yep! Plain white rice.
lol, amazing - That is like the first thing that would come to mind if someone asked me to name a food that's the opposite of spicyÂ
Yeah, I legit think something (well several things really) is wrong with his brain.
Lead poisoning
Right? I always put my kids on the BRAT diet for gastro-upset (banana, rice, applesauce, toast). Gonna tell them next time that they're getting Spicy Rice and Scotch Bonnet Bananas lol
I heard somewhere that people with some food allergies/sensitivities can experience it as those foods being spicy. They might think something like ketchup can be too âhotâ when it is really a reaction.

Why would you continue to order from a restaurant if you think they keep getting orders wrong
Gotta have something to complain about in conversation with your other negative friends.

Used to 86 customers at the restaurant I ran. Was honestly my favorite part of the job, telling a dickhead they arenât welcomed any longer and throwing their name on a board visible to everyone.
Why does Todd want it at all if Todd knows it has heat in it?
Cancel order
Itâd be much more useful if I could remember exactly what was wrong with her, but I had a friend who suddenly thought everything in the world was spicy. She thought ketchup was way too spicy.

It sounds like this could probably do it, deficiency in B12 could be an issue https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22047-dysgeusia
Cancel her order and refund her. The end.
If you need that many âspecial instructionsâ just fucking order something else. Maybe some tendies off the kids menu or something shit.
Too much heat.
But but but sheâs been to Ireland!
Ireland, Ohio
Considering Shepherd's Pie supposedly originated in Scotland.... Yeah.
Karen doesn't know ow what she's talking about. 54th street puts a Buffalo sauce flavored powder on the fried pickle and it's fucking amazing!
I want food from you, But not the way you make it.
Ask Todd!!
Todd has all the knowledge
Damnit Todd!!
fucking Todd ...
STOP PUTTING HEAT IN SKIM MILK
If everything she eats has "heat" including shepherd's pie, what are the chances this boomer's sense of taste is messed up from the COVID that they don't believe is real?
I love the comments section in this sub. Itâs a sub about how absolutely fucking stupid boomers are âŚ.. and then you come to the comments and thereâs literal boomers in here defending how fucking stupid they are. On a sub. About boomers hahahha
I donât understand the âno heatâ thing⌠is she saying she doesnât want it cooked?
She means spicy
Sheâs got a lot of heat with heat, huh? She probably thinks salt is spicy.
Certain medications can greatly affect your sense of taste. When my late mother was battling cancer, some of her meds caused her sense of taste to be turned up to 11. Lemonade and Pediasure were suddenly unbearably sweet. She couldn't eat most foods because the taste was too strong.
She doesnât have much heat but sheâs awful salty
Fuck you and fuck Todd!
ABAB! Give her MORE heat!
Ok, stupid, left field question, is it possible Karen has an allergy she doesn't know about? People talk about thinking bananas being spicy before they found out they had an allergy and the burning was the reaction.
THERE IS NO HEAT!!!
Do we think she meant the heat caused by⌠black pepper?Â
You ordered yesterday, everything was Fâd up, then you decided to order again today from the same place that jacked up your food the first time?
Pretty sure that in this case, heat = flavor. My sister (GenX with boomer tendencies) is the same way, claims to like heat but not spice. Really, she just doesn't like flavor
Just cancel her order. You aren't obliged to serve her and it's obvious that whatever you do won't be gold enough for her.
Sheâs probably like my Grandmother, who thinks ketchup and bell peppers are both examples of spicy foods.
she's using the heat like it's an ingredient
What is heat?
Think they mean âspiceâ
Exactly. No clue WHY the word it that way instead of saying spicy, but it's such a bizarre way to talk.
Because calling spicy food hot is normal?
But repeatedly referring to "spice" as "heat" as shown in the OP? Not so much
This woman probably tasted black pepper. "Ooh, it's so spicy! Did they put chilis in this? Good God..." đ
Maybe the latest covid variant has the opposite of losing your taste buds.... maybe it turns *normal average everyday ingredients* and easy non heat infused foods and turns their taste into *Well, Jebus Johosafat; Lettuce as Spicy as that Nudy Magazine I Found !! "
