Got called in for a double. Less than ten minutes after opening thirty clowns walked in.
It’s a shitty photo but that’s the best I could discreetly take. After they started trickling in we slowly but surely filled up. Two deep from 11am – 1:30 we were packed full. Didn’t even get a balloon animal.

Did you walk in the front door and yell, “What is this, a fucking circus?”

30 clowns? Get out now. Drop everything. Run.

Here’s a tip- don’t smell the flower on their lapel.

Did someone play that frank sinatra song?

Oh like 30 actual clowns! I was thinking like 30 popped collar frat bros or something. No balloon animal kinda is the raw deal tho.

This is one time when calling customers clowns is not an insult. 🤡

At least it wasn’t the clowns that show up 10 minutes before closing.
The scuff marks from the big floppy shoes…the horror

If I had Coulrophobia I would make a bee line straight for the door so fast. Then call back later and apologize.

The only thing I dont like about working in a restaurant is when people in a group that large dont at least call ahead to warn us. We had 150ish people show up at 10:30 without notice, and we were just about to give last call. Ended up staying until 1, which is fine. We just didn’t really have the staff for it.

Clowns or juggaloes? Its hard to tell

Strangest thing I saw once was a clown (full costume) coming out of a funeral home. Turns out someone from his guild had passed and they all came in costume in respect.

From double shift to full-on circus in ten minutes. Hope you added ‘ringmaster’ to your résumé.

When I was in high school, I bussed tables at a local pizza place. Every year, the circus came to town around Thanksgiving, and after the last show, the local group of clowns would book a party at our restaurant. Some of the other employees encouraged me to work the day of the party and claimed it was worthwhile, but they always booked the party for a Sunday, and I typically had Sundays off, so I didn’t listen.
After a year or two, I finally decided to give it a shot. I agreed to work the Sunday shift and was not disappointed. The clowns came in wearing full makeup and costume and started making balloon animals for everyone in the joint while drinking. As the afternoon progressed, their balloon sculptures became increasingly pornographic with each round of drinks.
A coworker was given a balloon dog with a penis that swelled when you squeezed the tail. Then the clown, who looked like every painting of a sad clown you’ve ever seen except with a lit cigarette drooping from the corner of his mouth, seized the balloon dog he’d made for me a few drinks earlier, inflated another balloon, and added a second dog humping the first.
He turned to stumble back to his table, paused after a few steps, and then spun around to point at us and bellow with the lit cigarette still hanging from his mouth “Don’t let any little kids see those.”

A group of clowns is called a “Giggle”

They heard the owners were running a circus and decided to check it out.

What a bunch of clowns

Being a food service worker doesn’t carry the the sense of pride and appreciation, among the populace, that it should.
No, you’re not military, or police, or firefolk, or teachers, but dangitall, y’all feed us, often wonderfully, and that deserves recognition beyond an insufficient salary and brutal working conditions.
Thank you, crew who fixed me that awesome cheeseburger with a slice of mater and cole slaw on it. Perfectly sized to fill my hunger, with no wasted product. That milkshake was heaven. It’s cute you handing me a straw with it, just to watch me have to get back up and fetch a spoon 😂😂😂

Like half of the other commenters, I was **NOT** expecting thirty literal clowns.

That sounds as rough as the time the German marching band walked in.
