Delivery Customer's '11 Sets of Chopsticks' Request Baffles South Korean Restaurant Owner

A South Korean restaurant owner has publicly shared an unusual customer request that has sparked online discussion and criticism. The owner, who operates a delivery-focused eatery, received an order that included a peculiar demand for service items.

“

This is my first order since moving. Please give me 11 sets of metal chopsticks, not disposable ones. Make the Rosé Jjimdak standard (cutlery and forks included).

According to the owner, identified only as 'A' and in their 30s, the customer's request stated: "This is my first order since moving. Please give me 11 sets of metal chopsticks, not disposable ones. Make the Rosé Jjimdak standard (cutlery and forks included)."

The owner expressed bewilderment at the request, noting that in three years of business, they had never encountered such a demand. "I canceled the order because it was not something I could accommodate," A explained. The owner speculated humorously, "Maybe they left their cutlery when they moved, and soon they'll ask us to send side dishes too."

The incident was shared on the online community 'Bobae Dream,' where users largely condemned the customer's request as unreasonable. Many restaurant owners face unique challenges and demands from customers, but this particular request for an excessive number of metal chopsticks stood out for its sheer oddity and perceived entitlement.
