Waiters who grate cheese until customers say “stop”, what’s the longest you’ve ever gone for?
- I've posted this here before but it's too food not to post again...
So I made this blind guy a Greek salad once. We have to do it tableside for presentation bs. The dude was blind so I was kinda half assing it but his wife was there and she wasn't blind. Anyway, when I ask if he wants crushed black pepper he says "yeah, smother it". So I proceed to grind a shit ton of pepper on this dudes salad...I stop when I can literally see no salad only pepper and his wife then tells me to keep going. So I pour on a little more, my wrist is actually cramping at this point. She says that's good sweetie. Then this fucking guy gets his fork and digs in his first bite was 80% pepper. He chews, swallows, and says why don't you leave the pepper grinder here kid...

- Dad is embarrassed to ask for the actual amount of cheese he wants. Instead, he brought his own cheese to the restaurant in a ziplock bag.

- Used to work at Olive Garden. Very few people actually live up to their hype. The amount of people who said they were cheese freaks and stopped after not even two turns of the grater was insane, but the longest was a couple who’s husband loved cheese and he took probably two blocks on his soup. I usually tell the people like this that I’m actually happy because they live up to their hype.

- I used to work at an Italian restaurant where we grated cheese like this. On one particular instance, I was grating and watching to make sure I was aiming on the food correctly. All of a sudden, I see this tiny roach fall out. Without missing a beat, I picked up the plate and made some excuse about how something wasn’t right & I would bring it right back. I take it to the kitchen & they redo it in a flash & we deep clean everything immediately.
But, now every time I get offered grated cheese, I’m like nah, I’m good.

- I also work at olive garden and we have this man we call 'the mozzarella man' who is a frequent with his wife
No matter what he orders, he always wants a TOWER of cheese on it
When I had went to serve him the first time, he turned to me and said 'honey, you better go get another grater because I'm about to tower that cheese block on my soup'
Needless to say, I was horrified and quiet entertained
Three more times that meal (appetizer, salad and entree) he had quite literally asked for a tower of cheese. And everytime he ate the entire tower.

- Last week the waiter asked if I wanted cheese, I said yes and he acknowledged, and I sat there a good five minutes until I realised he wasn't coming back. I can only imagine he got lost on the way back and is grating cheese on to an empty plate, and will continue for eternity until I return and awkwardly say thanks.

- I ask this to most of my Olive Garden waiters and waitresses. Normally they'll talk about a customer they've had that wanted 1 or two full blocks grated onto their food.
One waiter told me that he grated two whole blocks of cheese onto this person's soup, which he didn't mind doing, but it took a while. When they left, the person hadn't even touched their soup, and just left it there with a mountain of grated cheese on top.
EDIT: That same waiter was really fucking cool, too. We made an offhanded comment about how much we liked the cheese graters they used, so he snuck one out of the staff area in a to-go bag and gave it to us! As well, my dad got the endless pasta and I asked him what was the highest number of plates he'd seen someone eat. He said that at a different location, an NBA player came in and ordered endless pasta. He ate 13 fucking plates of pasta, and vomited before leaving the building.
