I've got a decent one from my Red Lobster days. I was cooking one night, and a woman at a table ordered grilled trout. No big deal, I grill the trout and ship it off. About 10 minutes later, the waitress comes back with the trout and says to me bluntly "this is salmon". I take a moment to take a deep breath and tell her "no it's not, it's the exact same trout I inspected this morning and cut 3 hours ago, we don't even have any salmon." the waitress snaps back at me "the woman who ordered it is a real chef, she says it's not trout." I snatch the plate back from her, throw the half eaten trout away and put a new piece of trout on the grill. Food goes out, and comes back in again, the waitress is furious now, she says it's not trout again. I grab the plate, find the kitchen manager and ask him "what kind of fish is this?" he says trout, I then fill him in on how this woman had wasted two servings of grilled trout, which is what she ordered. The manager took the plate and spoke with the customer, I think she took the meal, cause I didn't have to make her anything else.
Makes me glad I can kick people out for being assholes where I work now.
