Yeah, that's on the customer. If you write that you want a bunch of fuckin cherries then you're getting a bunch of fuckin cherries. Now go eat the pile of cherries you ordered.
Honestly I'd work under the assumption that restaurant employees knew what "86" meant. I'd still prob just write "no cherries" lol but the assumption isn't that crazy. It's common restaurant lingo.
Edit: people that never worked in a restaurant downvoting me "I NEVER HEARD OF NO 86, DOWNVOTED FOR SHARING AN ANECDOTE" lol this site is cancer. There's a reason lemmy will never take off, and it's the user base
In my 30s, and while I've heard "let's 86 the _____" numerous times, I honestly wouldn't have connected that to "86 cherries" on an order.
I've worked in food, fast and fancy, and nobody would say "86 cherries" instead of "no cherries". Clarity is conducive to a smoothly flowing kitchen.
