Even though my introverted fellows can feel hesitant to ask for food customizations, it’s a common practice for others while dining out or ordering takeout. More picky eaters and people with allergies or dietary restrictions may ask to remove an ingredient or swap it for some other option.
While those who enjoy a particular topping, sauce, or condiment may ask for extras, and if they are lucky, they get served with delicious compliance.

In the case of allergic people, asking for customizations and ingredients is very important. Individuals with sensitivity to specific foods should always tell the person taking their order about them and inquire about the ingredients. Even if they have eaten at a restaurant before, they should still ask since a recipe or chef might have changed.

Food service workers should be understanding and react positively to such requests, as one wrong ingredient or move can cost a person’s life. Remember, allergies are no joke. However, most places nowadays gladly accommodate customizations, no matter if a person is allergic, picky, or wants extra of something.

#12 Does Preemptive Compliance Count?

For example, the fast food restaurant McDonald's is very flexible when it comes to food modifications. "Management will always make sure you do everything how the customers want it, even if it's ridiculous," said Atom Eyez, a former McDonald's worker, in an interview with The Takeout. "Unless they pull up asking to buy raw meat—people have—then that's when we turned them away."
It also doesn’t charge extra for any customizations or extras. Except for sauce packets—that's where McDonald’s draws the line, as they seem to value their sauce packet supply pretty dearly.

Overall, restaurants are increasingly dedicating more attention to customizing customers’ experiences. For instance, some places are offering people to build their own pizza, salad, or pasta dish from scratch, which means they get to choose the main parts of the meal individually. This allows customers to tailor their meals according to their preferences or dietary restrictions, making their dining out experience more enjoyable.

#18 I Asked If They Could Add Roasted Garlic To My Flatbread.. 😍

Even though food modifications are often gladly fulfilled, there are still times when such a request might not be met with a pleasant smile, a positive response, and compliance. Like during rush hour. Eyez said that the only time special requests were frustrating was when the kitchen was already very busy with orders. In those cases, the chance of forgetting to do exactly what was asked is extremely high. The workers might also not give very much of a certain topping in an attempt to complete orders quickly.

To save everyone time and nerves, customers should take a second to evaluate if their food customization is too extreme before making an order. Unless it has to do with their allergies and health, it’s better to skip the long list of modifications when a restaurant is busy. If there’s a long line or the tables are full, it’s a telltale sign that the kitchen is overwhelmed and won’t be grateful for time-consuming customizations.

It’s not to say that simple modifications aren’t fine—they are. We’re just trying to emphasize what chaos extreme modifications can cause in the restaurant during busy times. It also begs the question, ‘Why order the dish in the first place if you want to change everything about it’? Restaurants are willing to make small changes so diners can enjoy the food they prepared, but at the same time, customers have to consider their work and keep in mind good etiquette when asking for food customizations.
