A few weeks ago @ my wor...wow, I feel your pain...<br /><br />A few weeks ago @ my work, this woman and her 11 year old daughter sat on the patio. We didn't have a server on the patio, just the servers inside picking up tables. So I picked up this table. The lady ordered an app of guacamole and chips and I forgot to ring it in thanks to the host tripple sitting my inside section. I rang in her food order (salad and a sandwich for her daughter) while taking care of my other tables. When I brought her food out she said "YOU FORGOT MY APP!!" and I was like "I can get it right away for you, I'm very sorry" and like a little kid she was like "I don't want it anymore!!!" So i walked away and checked up on her ofter to refill her ice tea. About 2/3 into her salad she brought to my attention that her salad had no almonds in it and she specificly wanted almonds in her salad (kitchens fault), I offered her a side of almonds and she refused. I told my manager the situation and he didn't want to comp her salad over it having no almonds so he gave her a 20% discount. So I gave her the check, she tipped me 10%, left then told off the host.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-40995592146493155412011-06-13T15:15:32.480-07:002011-06-13T15:15:32.480-07:00*hands a double vodka* drink up and chill it happe...*hands a double vodka* drink up and chill it happens to everyone unfortunately its the nature of our job. In my time I've worked Menswear Womanswear Childrenswear Grocieries and Food and starting with menswear at the top the rationality of customers decreases exponentially as you work towards food. Its something about the food industry and peoples unrealistic expectations, people want restaurants and cafes to be more like fast food places they want highquality food right without the wait for fast food prices they also want servers to bend over backwards and kiss their asses for free. <br /><br />Your Managers are a pair of fucking eejits Chickenlittle needs to come down to earth and get over herself and and that other gobshite lapdog needs to reach inside and yank out his manhood because he's acting like a dickless bitch!DMTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-87813328094797276672011-06-13T12:27:05.140-07:002011-06-13T12:27:05.140-07:00The restaurant biz is one of those industries wher...The restaurant biz is one of those industries where your tiniest mistakes are going to be blown waaay out of porportion. Yes, you and I realize that forgeting to put in an appetizer when triple sat inconvieniences the customer. It does not ruin a dinner. If the customer acts like it did, it's because she is a fucking cow who would have been upset over something else had the mistake not occured, anyway. <br /><br />But what I truly cannot understand are managers who take those human errors and turn them into Armaggedon...then don't understand how a server (who had been having a perfect night before the slip up) is suddenly making a ton of mistakes. It's almost like being royally dressed down three times by two managers while you have tables waiting on refills made them frazzled, or something. We had a similiar incident at my place...a manager threatened to fire the host staff because they didn't notice that a group of people had come into through the ToGo door and sat themselves in the (free-seating) bar area. So two hosts walked out, leaving us with one during the dinner rush. To top it off, the idiot manager still doesn't understand why they walked out. It's not like good employees who are told they will be fired for an understandable screw-up shouldn't still be loyal to their asshole employers, or anything.ServingUpAnAttitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459383441431631093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-59883787478336601782011-06-13T12:03:58.483-07:002011-06-13T12:03:58.483-07:00These managers sound like real asswipes adding fue...These managers sound like real asswipes adding fuel to the fire.
