I’m not a picky eater, and I have huge respect for those who work in the service industry, so I try my best to be a good customer. I almost never make special requests at a restaurant but sometimes you just want something specific. Delicious compliance, if you will.
There’s nothing better than fantastic customer service, especially when you’re hungry. These examples of delicious compliance are so on the nose that you can’t even complain because technically, they’re not wrong.
