You won't believe what this Aussie found in their brekkie wrap!
- Replies 2
We’ve all seen our fair share of funny customer requests or complaints at the checkout or in local cafes and restaurants. But how often do these requests get taken literally?One diner in Brisbane recently found out the hard way when they asked for a hash brown on their brekkie wrap – and that's exactly what they got.
A photo of the 'wrap' showed a single hash brown perched on the top, with nothing else on the tortilla. The diner’s friend took to Reddit to share their confusion – and internet users were quick to join in, with the post getting thousands of views and hundreds of comments.
The post read, ‘Mate asked for a hash brown on his brekkie wrap this morning…’
And, well… take a look for yourself:
Among the many jokes about 'dad humour' and 'malicious compliance' (the intentional act of following the orders knowing the result will be negative), one Reddit commenter wrote, 'Can you chuck a hash brown on it? … doesn't mean, you know, on it.'
Another added, 'When I worked in fast food, it was common for people to do this intentionally on their last shift.’
‘That’ll teach him to be more specific, I guess,’ a third said.
One user simply wrote: ‘On vs In.’
One of our favourite comments read, ‘Lucky he didn't open it the other way around, or he would have had a brekkie wrap on his hash brown.’
This incident got us thinking about similar occurrences that have happened before. Another customer story happened last month when a shopper's detailed request for their cake decoration was taken literally by the Costco bakery.
The customer wanted 'absolutely no writing and no designs; the only request was some red icing on the top and bottom of the cake. To make the request clearer, they drew a picture of the cake they wanted on the order sheet – and sure enough, that's exactly what they got.
The cake they picked up a few days later had the same drawing they had drawn in red and black icing smack bang in the middle.
At least it will still taste good, right?
