Gave a waiter a ride home for $10 a night until he told me to wait he was having another drink. Still dont know how he got home either because i said ok and then i left . No rides after that either.

This is a subjective thing for me. Considerations have to be made.
Does this person show up on time? Do they put in work? Do they call off frequently? Do they whine? Do they make work shittier than going to work already is? Do they not have a license, know how to drive, or have the means to afford a vehicle? Did they lose their license from DUI? Are they a cunt? How far away do they live? Would they give me a ride if I needed one? Etc.
Some people I would drive to the next state if they asked me. Others I wouldn’t drive down the block.

Im a manager at a tex mex place. I hired a super high functioning autistic kid to be a busser. Two month in, & i have never met such a hard working, happy young man. Never late, always kicks ass. I noticed he would come in soaked in sweat, towel off in the bathroom & get to work. Found out he’s walking 3.5 miles to work every day when he & i were closing one night & it started pouring rain. Of course I gave him a ride.
Last week, pulled together some cash with the foh & other managers & got the kid an e bike. The smile was worth every penny. Rashad is the goat.

Been there. He would sit outside for 30 minutes smoking until I clocked out and he’s still sitting there, he could have been halfway home by then but no. So I’d feel bad and ask if he wanted a ride. Never once offered gas money. Dude got audacious enough to pull that shit when I was waiting for a late delivery and wouldn’t get off his ass to even help me put it away, so I would just go sit and talk with the servers for an hour ’till he left.

Nah, I don’t live in a place where the roads are that walkable at night. I’ll sleep better knowing I got him home safely, even if that sleep is shorter than I’d like.

My second day on the job, lol. I just started and haven’t even gotten my first paycheck. They never wanna help out with gas either.

I didn’t mind it every night as it was a way to extend hanging out with friends who closed with me, but I hated it if they lived far away.

I’m the kitchen manager and I will pick people up and give them rides home, especially if they’re strong team members.

I live an hour in the opposite direction of everyone else and drive a truck.

I don’t give rides much on principle, but my sous lives in a sketch ass place right off my route an she’s a fucking gem who never misses a shift unless she’s literally dying. So you bet your ass I take that extra 5 minutes to make sure my girl gets home safely every night we work together.
aaaaaaaaaaaaahaaah
Yeah I had that roommate, we work at the same place, live at a good 5-10 min walk but he was a little bit out of shape and kept asking me a ride. The dude qas taking is good ol time to close, like an good hour more than me and just kept telling me « 5 more minutes and im done, just 10 more, just need to finish that ». This went for a nice 3 months, because he was Getting real angry when I was leaving home without him… Keep in mind that we both work 70 hours+ a week in a kitchen and live together… what a toxic dude

Throwback to my first kitchen job where everyone was a bit of a party animal.
We had an electric bike we used occasionally for deliveries during covid. Eventually it became the “drunk bike”: if you’re too drunk and have no bike, take the electric one.
I saw my manager trying to ride it a couple of times, which was amusing (he was the best manager ever). I personally have a picture of me holding the battery because I couldn’t find a way to bring that behemoth up the stairs, so I had to leave it in the street.
I think we eventually sold the bike when we started all sobering up as a team

Place I used to work at I basically replaced a guy while the Sous Chef was on holiday. The guy I replaced used to give him a lift from the village to the city (so a 20 minute car ride Vs a 50 minute bus ride) and he used to occasionally get angry that I wouldn’t drive him home. The fact that I walked or cycled in from a different direction and didn’t own a car never really penetrated into his brain at all. Lifts from coworkers should be a bonus or an emergency thing, not your actual travel plans.

Man I was at a Texas roadhouse in Colorado springs. I’d give this woman, Ashley, who claimed to have cancer a ride home and to work nearly daily.
I went back to my home state and offered her the car while I was gone for 4 wks.
When I got back she tried to tell my bosses and coworkers than she bought it from me, even though there was no such transaction. Luckily I had the title at home.
No one believed she was attempting to steal it from me, until eventually other coworkers started giving her rides too, and realized she wasn’t taking meds for cancer, but in fact methadone and was a full blown addict otherwise.

Look man I’m trying. I just don’t want to walk 4 miles in the rain.
Just date one of the servers or line cooks with a car 😂😂

Been picking up the dishwasher for work going on 2 years now. Went without a dishie for a few weeks and it’s worth it.
Scrubs abound

The apologies from management didn’t cut it.
