“Hey Chef Mike – I got one for ya!”
“OH TRUE, NO SHIT” hilarious 🤣
If it takes 20 minutes at 350 itll take a minute at 1000 degrees right?
I do brunch and the amount of ppl who try to stop and get Sunday morning brunch with a plane to catch is way more common than it should be.
You ordered food that will take at least 30 mins to come out and you’re a 30 min drive from the airport which you have to wait an hour to get through TSA in and your plane leaves in an hour?
Your poor time management is not our fault lol
Third visit to the table, dropping off the waters.
> Well done streaks, random mods and everything on the side.
> We have a show in a half hour, can we be in and out in 20?
> Table gets the rush, steaks fucked and check dropped off
> Gets ran 3-4 times, more this, oh and what about that, need specific this not mentioned that would have been nice if you are in a rush 40 minutes ago…
> annoyed that check isn’t run “on time” while waiting till finished to put the card in.
> table fucks off 10 minutes late to their show leaving some advice in lieu of a tip
> Kitchens annoyed cause it’s a shitty rush, mng is annoyed cause table was lukewarm during their check in and other guests are less happy because you got ran so fuck you.
Fucking should have been a dishwasher.
Remember that as a service worker you’re essentially a glorified servant who does whatever the customer wants!
And as a kitchen worker I find it surreal how many people don’t understand why food doesn’t cook faster.
Throw that shit in the fryer for 2 minutes, transfer to flat top, 3 minute steam+lid, back to fryer for 10 seconds because it’s probably soggy.
Hope you choke on it dickmouth.
Had a table show up. Anniversary and had tickets to a show in 45 minutes and we need to fly a well ny strip whilst also coursing out all the things.
“They can have it now, or they can have it cooked”
My old head chef, almost daily
People wants the benefits and avoid the bad things at the same time lol
I appreciate that this person also uses a wig instead of the millionth towel to represent a woman
“We are in a hurry, so to start I’ll have….”
This is why my bosses don’t let me talk to people.
I was in a “No fucks given” mood one day at a place I used to run. Usually I was BOH, but FOH was hurting, so off the line and to the tables went.
Large group of about 5 couples came in, sat around dicking around rather than looking at the menu for at least a half hour.
Finally got their drink order.
They spent 20 more minutes on their drinks, entire time “still looking at the menu”
Finally get their food order, an hour after they had sat down despite checking on them every 5 minutes, and just as I’m leaving, one of them says, “and can you make it quick? We’ve got to be at the concert in 20 minutes.”
The resteraunt is packed at this point, because EVERYONE has to be at the concert downtown in 20 minutes. The kitchen is fucked at the moment, and we’ve been telling everyone walking in the door it’s going to be a 40 minute wait to get their order for the last 20 minutes.
I went to the POS, printed their bills for their drinks, dropped them off and said, “you said you were in a rush, but unfortunately due to (gestures to full resteraunt) we won’t be able to serve your food before you have to go, so I’ve brought your bills. I hope you understand.”
Most of the group understood that it was their mistake and made quick “oops, guess we let time get away from us” apologies and excuses.
But one couple was not happy. One of them said, “but we haven’t eaten yet!:
I pointed out the window and said, “There’s a McDonalds across the street, you should be able to get something faster there.”
The other of the couple said, “we’ve been here for an hour!”
To which one of the other people from the group, the one person who had actually been looking at the menu like they were ready to order every time I came to the table, angrily snapped back, “then we should have ordered our food an hour ago!” (Thanks man, if you didn’t say it, I would have)
I don’t understand how people think you can just cook things faster if they ask you to. Like it’s easy to fundamentally change the laws of physics on a whim.
Once I had one of the Maloof brothers (former owners of the Sacramento Kings) roll up to the hotel I was working at. He asked for a Filet well done, then after 15 minutes came up to the line (open kitchen) and said “Hey, I need to catch a flight, what’s taking the steak so long”. I just looked at him and said it would be a couple more minutes. Then I threw the steak in the fryer.
The customer probably sat for 20 minutes deciding what they wanted just to tell you they are in a rush
