    Wow! That is the best cut lemon I’ve ever seen a waiter do!

  3. You’ve already forgot how to cut citrus, now you just have to forget how to serve tables and you’ll be ready for management. 🌟

    Couple of tips. Only use the plastic safety knives, not only are they perfect for cutting lemons, but they’re cute too!

    Ensure you leave every seed IN THE LEMON cuts so the customer can enjoy them.

    Leave the little stem part on the lemon, people love seeing the “organic part”.

    It’s considered good luck to get a lemon wedge that still has the sticker on it! Leave a few on to keep this tradition alive.

    Overprep lemon wedges so you always want too many. Since they’re lemons you can do them like 6 months in advance.

    Good luck future management!

    It’s a lot easier to use a knife with your eyes open. Just thought I’d let you know.

    What did you cut them with? A garbage disposal?

    Make sure you “borrowed” the exec chef’s best knife without asking and cut them directly on a metal table.

    Yes, this actually happened at the last place I worked.

    I retired to bartending a couple years ago and boy howdy the struggle is real. It’s not really their fault but some of these folks have no knife skills.

    One of our managers offered to cut fruit for me last week while I was busy and I just said, “Please no.”

    This is exactly how my manager would cut lemons if I asked them too, promote this man

  10. Nothing worse that cutting your finger while cutting lemons. LOL

    Managers never cut the lemons: so best to promote OP now to mitigate the damage

    Don’t you EVER come back to Chuckie’s…

    You son of a bitch.

    Prepare to be elevated to your highest level of incompetence. Though you might be there already.

    Dude I had a “director of operations” who would try to help the bar by cutting lemons and she did it just about like this. It was both sad and hilarious watching the bartenders try to put them on cocktails because god forbid you said something about it or tossed them and cut new ones.

  15. Hello, police? I’d like to report…a murder!
