Does anyone here wait tables or work in the service industry?

Racist snobby white piece's of shits. It's pretty fun in the kitchen though. This one time we were out of defrosted pork loin and the pretty cool old stupid bitch forgot and took an order for the frozen pork. Ended up microwaving that shit for like 15 minutes it was thick. Guy came to the back and said it was cooked to perfection. Lmfao what an idiot.

Lmfao. That is so funny. Yeah I love it when they give me back a knife and complain that it has spots on it. I always take it to the back, use water and a napkin and then remove the spots (that are caused by water nonetheless). I give it back to them and apologize with my shitty little grin, they accept and are none the wiser. God they are so fucking stupid.

First ever job was at a chain restaurant. One dude kicked out a window because "closed" wasn't good enough (he was later apprehended). One guy spit in my face because I couldn't understand what he was saying. And and and.

I won't even discuss the casino job.

Fucken Canada, eh?

Idk I've been to Canada and I've always thought that they are genuinely nicer than us Yanks. Would love an anecdote from the casino though.

Sorry, that was half sarcastic. It is pretty nice to live here, and it's no joke that we're polite as hell. But, get a few drinks into some people and location means little

One of the regulars constantly had a cig hanging from her mouth, the ash was about 2 inches long at all times (pre smoking bans). One night she vomited on her machine, and asked one of the staff members to hold her machine while they cleaned it so she could go home to get a new shirt. When she arrived at coatcheck she blew more chunks on the desk and it hit the person working there.

New shirt, clean machine, on like Donkey Kong. What in ze fak?

Edit: shortly after that incident the girl working coatcheck was let go for stealing a bundle of 5's. I guess there's something to it.

When I worked at subway an elderly homeless lady in a wheelchair asked me to help her in the bathroom. ..she must have been around 300 lbs. ..I politely explained this was not part of my job description. .another day this crazy lady that sold plastic hangers with strings attached walked in at lunch time (packed restaurant ) and started taking her clothes off...my boss quickly ran over and asked her to leave...she looked right past him..walked to the garbage and found herself lunch...lol

Oh my last job was the best..one of our truck drivers was under investigation for murder...they had him on desk duty until the trial...guess who he sat next to...seriously I complained but they said they couldn't do anything until the trial. .he and a buddy robbed and murdered a guy they both knew who filled those non bank branch atm machines....not sure the details but rumor was buddy we worked with said he was just there...

ha you gotta fuckin polish the silverware after it comes out of the dishwashers. DUHH.

Front of house sucks. Back of house is much better. I love cooking and talking shit and having an all around decent time.

Never did, never could. I want to stab people i encounter randomly on the street. Put me in that environment and I'd slaughter the whole fucking restaurant. then have a drink.

I'm a manager a local chain restaurant. I posted some of my work last summer . Not sure where it is in this pile of threads.

But starting up a class soon.

Sauce graffiti!!

But yea the food industry is fucked up.. People are retarded....

I have to say i could be one of those asshole customers. I very, very rarely eat out anymore because i can cook better than 95% of the restaurants around here. When i do choose to go out, it's usually to a higher end place and it better be perfect. No cold apps. no soggy breads, seasoned right, cooked right, not greasy, etc,etc. It's amazing how many restaurants just plain suck. I blame the public's generally low standards for food..

Try medicine, it's a service industry too. Who in their right mind would piss off the team that's going to be taking sharp objects to them and yet they do.

Nope. Never set foot in a restaurant in my life.

That was sarcasm. This is me, a crying bitch with a micropenis whose life is swallowing customer semen and feces on the reg.

Alright here's a few:

I once had to purée clam chowder for an old wrinklebag ho who had no teeth to chew it.

I had a friend step into the frier while standing on the stove cleaning hoods about ten years ago. She was in shock so she just stood there calf deep in oil. I grabbed a bucket of ice filled it with water, bear hugged her by the waste and slammed her legs into it. She later got airlifted to the hospital where she had several skin grafts.

A dude working the grill pounded two bottles of wine while working one night and I had line cooks run and grab me in the office because he had passed out while standing there and fallen face first into the grill. Chest, face and arms were all fucked up, still don't understand how he didn't wake up while lying on the grill

I work at a fine dining place, sometimes it can be a pain.
Working to become a sommelier though.

I love eating and drinking wine at work!

I don't love getting a 6 table section, taking a 4 course order per person plus drinks during a rush. It can get to ya but I love the pay out.

I'm luck my place is at a hotel. Couldn't imagine doing a chain

Will you recognize when a wine has gone flat?

The father of one of my best friends growing up owned a prime beef steakhouse in LA. We got to hang out there alot. The head grill chef was a Mexican named Ricardo and he was a god with meat, mad skills. Anyway, one time we are there and some guy orders a medium top sirloin steak. Medium was a dirty word but Ricardo was a great artist and makes it. Dude sends it back cuz its too "raw", Ricardo puts it back on the grill with some grumbling Spanish. The staff start moving away from him. Sends the steak out, and 5 min later the waiter comes back with the steak, fear bugging his eyes out..."Still too rare" is all he sez; laying the plate on counter and running out of the kitchen. Ricardo, blows up, swearing loudly in Spanish, grabs the steak and wrings it like a dishrag, throws it back on the grill and puts a cast iron pan on it. Sends it back out, now everyone in kitchen is nervous as hell, Ricardo is still swearing. Waiter pokes his head in and sez, customer loves it, "perfect compliments to the chef"; Ricardo picks up a butcher knife and wings it across the kitchen and buries it in the wall. My friends dad comes in to calm Ricardo down; then when the customer is done and is gonna pay bill; Dad sez on the house and never ever come back.

It explains why I can never get my food to taste like 'great' restaurant food! Stirring the mashed taters with pinny's peen adds that special umami note!

Bottle it pin.

Im too proud of the quality food I create to ever spit on/dick on anybody's order.

@Singlemalt I totally understand getting upset if a piece of meat comes back 2 times. At that point, its obvious the customer has different standards and expectations than the kitchen, just give them what they want and be done with it. Don't let it get under your skin too much.

But to stay on topic I can tell when a wine has been "corked" when you taste it you can almost taste the cork lol if that makes sense
