We had one day when we were full that we threw alot of food away. We were stunned! The portion sizes and menu items were what we serve all the time. Had alot of people say it was too much food. We were shaking our heads for days over that. Other times with same menu we've had all clean plates. Of course, my other half goes overboard and then wants to reinvent the menu after just one bad morning. I blamed it on the Moon or whatever phase Mercury was in... just a fluke.

We had 2 breakfasts where DH was ready to toss the item because of a poor guest response. I have to keep telling him ONE bad comment does not mean NO ONE liked it.
One woman who went all 'I run a restaurant and this would not pass the board of health where I live' comment and another one where we changed an ingredient because of an allergy and it really didn't taste the same.
Both of those things were easy to fix but DH refused to make either of them again.

Isn't that so frustrating!!! She tends to generalize things - one comment, one event, one instance and it's "everything, everytime, always". The things we put up with! lol
She also sees a thin older woman and wants to give her one slice of bacon and half the eggs of someone else. Or a big guy & wants to give him extra. And then a small end slice of tomato on one plate and a big saucer slice on the other and hand them to a couple. I'd be like, "why did I get the puny one??" Frustrating... Treat everyone the same, you don't know what they'll eat.
If we live through the breakfast service without physical injury it's a miracle sometimes. Gotta love 'em. If she wasn't so tolerant and level headed and non-reactive, we would never have lasted as long as we have!
