I understand how annoying customers can be, but ultimately the restaurant business is about giving people what they want and making money doing so. If someone is unreasonable, simply refuse.

First off... I'm not talking about casual dinning places such as Chili's or Applebees or TGI Fridays... These places are there to serve you what you want.
That's not my style of cooking. (I'm about to brag) I was the sous chef at Denver's only 5 Star restaurant not three two months out of culinary school. I've cooked for several of Denver's sports stars. I just recently helped open Denver's newest and most unique restaurant. And starting in the Spring I will be teaching culinary arts at a small boutique school here in Denver.
I'm a classically trained chef. Now, I'm not saying that the guys in the kitchens at those casual dinning places aren't talented... I'm just saying it's a different world. The restaurants I've worked in you go to because you want to eat what the chef has created. Not because it's an easy place to stop and get a burger and a beer on your way home from work.
My server's aren't there just to pay their way through school. They are life-long servers that do what they do because they love it. Most would be surprised the training these people have gone through over the years. I've always been proud of them and will stand behind them. The same goes with any and every cook I've worked with.
