I...I just discovered this blog today and I love it. I just adore screwing with jerkwads who seat themselves. Oh, and one time, these two dudes sat themslves in a dirty booth and refused to move so my boyfriend could clean it (there was ranch (suprise) spilled all over.) So he crawled up on top of the table to clean it. They were so mad...ktreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094839530127571410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-32134529519608211052011-04-06T12:32:50.095-07:002011-04-06T12:32:50.095-07:00I usually make them get up and move when we are bu...I usually make them get up and move when we are busy.

We usually have people who will park themselves at a dinner table, but once you go over to clean it up and explain it to them, they move. No problem. However, at about 10:35p, this lady just sits down, which probably wouldn't have been much of a problem if we didn't have about 10 names still on the wait list. I went over to wipe down the still dirty table and explained this to her. Her response was to tell me that the bartender to her to plop her pregnant booty in the booth. No ma'am. Stop telling me lies and get up. <br /><br />She still remained seated, and I could see the new greeters getting nervous, so I put a plan into action. I had them page the table, and then all 5 of us (the couple, me, and the 2 new greeters) kindly explained to the lady about how long they had been waiting for this one table to become available. With so many people in her face, she had no choice but to get up. I didn't feel bad about it at all. I think working in restaurants has made me heartless...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-35784736270507624922011-03-22T09:58:35.433-07:002011-03-22T09:58:35.433-07:00Those people really piss me off--I just hate their...Those people really piss me off--I just hate their sense of entitlement. I had those fuckers the other night. I took a sick hostess' shift because I needed the extra $$$. I actually sat a couple in one server's section at one point that night, only to walk back to the host stand, turn around, and see them pick up their menus and walk over to a table that they 'liked' better. They probably waited until I turned my back on them to do it, too, so that they could 'pull one' on the hostess. I told the server in that section about it, and he basically ignored them for about fifteen minutes (giving refills to the tables on the left and right of them, not seeing their little fistpumps, exc), then told them that he had been busy and assumed that the hostess had just given the table to another server, because 'she knew not to seat me then.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-62030158848825011422011-03-22T08:11:47.867-07:002011-03-22T08:11:47.867-07:00Haha!

They saw the sign, they know the rules, but rules don't apply to them.<br /><br />I love the way you handle them. I would have to be a little less passive aggressive tho' [I am old and patient-less] and tell them that they would have to get up and wait to be seated because we have a seating system and if they wanted timely service they would need to be seated in an available section.<br /><br />Anon's idea works too. :)SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-12965446110636336652011-03-22T06:05:19.881-07:002011-03-22T06:05:19.881-07:00That happens all the time where I work.Except I ta...That happens all the time where I work.Except I take a different approach. <br />What I do is ignore them till they say something. Then when there are a little upset and say something because no one has waited on them...I say "Oh I am sorry...who sat you here without menus?" Whatever there reply, I then rebut with :"Sorry that is why we have a sign that says please wait to be seated! When you are sitting there with no menus I am only to assume that another server has already helped you." Then I wal away and get them menus...very slowly!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
