People with money are something else

Sounds like a cunt. Hope he tips well.

Translation – he treats people like crap as a hobby.

The fact that’s people still jump through hoops to please people like this is disgusting. If people stopped feeding them, they would stop this behavior real fast.

Wow…..I don’t even know those people, and I have a very strong dislike for them….

Okay and what does he do for the world that’s so special and important?

I can’t imagine being a pain in the ass so much that it warrants a notification to a manager as soon as I hit the door.
RoeMajesta
it depends on the place. The higher end places actually do this willingly cause they charge that much to cater to these people specifically

It’s crazy how people automatically jump to the negative. The customer may be an amazing customer who management wants to give special consideration to. Who knows. But if it’s a problem to the management, I’m certain they wouldn’t allow it.

sounds like someone who needs to impress dates or donors. the fundraising types are the worst. let me take you to the place where they make me look special…

I saw this there and I wasn’t sure how much a WTF this is, if someone has been there 22 times and you keep these kind of notes on your Guests you’re going to know what they like, the only red flag is he walks in without a reservation. He probably tips well.

He likes cocaine in a sugar dish and a handjob from the dishwasher, she enjoys M*A*S*H, boxed wine and pool boys

I’ve spent a bunch of my career in private clubs. I wish we had a system like this in place to fast-track the new hires. This is the level of service members expect. Having notes like this goes a long way. That being said, even in a private club, you do not just walk right in seat yourself and expect/demand service.

I have worked at some really nice places and also some really not nice places in my long career. Some restaurants, restaurant groups restaurants barely break even for all the money flowing through them.
Call it what you will: a front, a money laundering operation, but in my experience: the culture of a place like this: is about the business done at those tables…. Whether that means.. this is a business partner who they want to extravagantly kowtow to, or an ownership egomaniac whose goal is to network for other business.
Again: maybe I’m totally wrong and these are just douches with an ownership culture that allows it.
But my guess is: this is a venture for a whole nother venture that has nothing to do with a restaurant.

Why is everyone assuming the customer demanded this? Come the fuck on people, please try and use your critical thinking skills, look at the tally of visits. These are clearly notes that a restaurant keeps privately on this customer, who is also clearly a whale for them. They keep these notes to try and keep them happy and keep the relationship strong because they pay well. None of these notes are particularly insane either.. especially because again, this is clearly not a demand list a customer submitted.

Apparently they tipped $10 on the $150 bill….

Iv made bean and cheese burritos for a regular at the sushi bar i worked at. Dude was there 5 nights a week and dropped atleast $500 each night. Silly requests like this would usually come with a $100 cash tip.

“Always wants ‘the best steaks'”, refills of Coke every 15 minutes, and extra butter with his crab cakes really paints a picture of a specific kind of person, huh

I worked at a place that had a couple regulars like this. One guy could almost be this exact guest except he only came in for lunch with business associates. We took over a long standing hotel restaurant and he’d apparently been sitting at that table for 30 years or something by the time we showed up. Thank Christ our then ops manager had worked that floor years ago so he could tell us what the fuck this guy was doing just walking his happy (curmudgeonly) ass back to 33.
Another guy liked his martinis exactly just so that we made a button for him. He actually impressed me because he could legit tell if you put two drops of vermouth and not one. Fuckin weirdo, haha. He took care of my staff, and wasn’t bullshitting about what he did and didn’t like so I respected that.

Other than the specific table, none of this is out of line, especially considering these are server notes. It entirely depends on his attitude but Im guessing his is just stuff people have noticed while serving him regularly.

It screams Bistro Huddy!!!!

I love posts like this because they bring out the dichotomy of this sub. You get the average line cook who works at like 90% of restaurants who sees shit like this and freaks out about these guys being total shit bags, then you get the other 10% of chefs and cooks who’s job it is to cater to these type of people defending the behavior bringing up the fact that we work in hospitality and thats our job.
We’re a wide group of people here haha.

I find myself doing this for regulars often, giving briefings to our new employees when they first serve them. I have never had it transcribed like this, though

Good ole’ Ruth’s Chris.
TheClownKid
Unpopular opinion, this doesn’t seem that bad. Easy to execute, lemon crowns is a bit funny but simple enough. Dude knows what he likes. If he’s dropping cash, seems easy.
GodsHumbleClown
I wonder if he’s rude about it, or does he just come regularly enough that the staff have these notes to make things easier? We had some relatively particular regulars at a previous job, but I never minded doing extra for them because they were nice to me.
If I had been able to print out a sheet like this for all my coworkers to refer to about this one woman Louise, it might have looked a bit similar, but everyone liked Louise because she was really sweet.
You can be particular without being an ass about it.

This sounds like they are on the spectrum

Like you can tell him no but the guy down the street will tell him yes and make the money.

I like how he is still seated at 62 table

This is definitely a steak house that offers a $30 side of mashed potatoes lmao
