It’s too late for me, but what would you have done? Woman comes to breakfast and corners hubby. “I know you’re serving French toast today, but could I have two fried eggs?”
I said, “ we are serving eggs tomorrow!”
She said, “I have a very strict diet, so could I have two fried eggs?”
I asked what kind of diet and she repeated that she wanted two fried eggs. I said, fine and asked, in butter?, oil?
She said, “oh,no, no butter.” I said, “tomorrow we are making omelets. Can you have milk? “ “No!”
Fine. I made her two fried eggs in a non stick pan and said to my hubby, “ that’s not a diet, it’s an order. I still don’t know what she is avoiding besides dairy.”

. I've said, sure, just let me warn you, we do have a small fee for special orders. That's how we first handled it. NO ONE IS HAPPY WITH SMALL FEES FOR SPECIAL ORDERS. It is very effective in reducing special orders...but not for customer happiness. Don't do this. What I do now, oh, sure no problem, my pans are occupied, but if you don't mind waiting until I cook the other breakfasts, then I will get those eggs cooked for you. A small inconvenience is worth the happy customer, if you can do it. If you can't, then oh my goodness, if only I had known last night, we are out of eggs today, but tomorrow, I would be happy to do those fried eggs for you. That's what I do.
