    I worked at a place for a couple years where none of my servers spoke Spanish and none of my cooks spoke English. We weren’t crazy busy but would burn like 750 covers a night or so — mistakes would happen yada yada

    Every time a server came skipping in with doe eyes or nervously stroking a beard the line wouldn’t even flinch they’d just yell at me to deal with whatever it was and just yell out the protein or whatever the fuck they needed. Shit was baaaad for a minute. 12+ things getting rung in incorrectly a night. Had to get more hardcore on training uh.. reading the menu

    Not that busy with 750 heads how big of a place was this what would’ve been a busy night

    Nope, gay man. Sweet nothings won’t spare them my wrath.

    Servers tell the kitchen the customers messed up, and then they go out and tell the customers the kitchen messed up.

    But we all know who really messed up.

    I love laughing in asexuality when they try to flirt their way out of admitting they messed up. I’m not asexual, just happy in my relationship and my little Yeti goes to sleep at work.

    Or when they’re hungry, or need your height, or anything really

    And that’s how I lost three years of my life

    bro when i waited tables i would repeat everything ppl wanted.

    typed into pos what they wanted *from* my paper.

    rescan that everything i typed was right.

    when the food came out from the kitchen, I would match it to the ticket that they handed me, line by line.

    when I drop it off at the table and set the respective plate in front of each individual who asked for Z dish. While speaking of the dishes, name out loud.

    I literally never messed up because I would go and do all of this elaborate shit per table.

    except we did have this one pothead who would fuck up all the time her name was Joanne, but she was stealing from the company so fuck her

    I hate this. Most of the time these hoes are rude then act all fake when they fuck up. Ask for half of the tables tip, for on the fly orders. Lmao. Nah that chits wrong.

    All you’re getting out of me is a “heard! I need a remake on that ASAP”

    That’s right before she has to be talked out of a crying jag in the bathroom by the hostess.

    Oh my favorite one from back in my restaurant days, back before technology. Waitresses had to right down their orders and then put them in the register so it would print the ticket out in the kitchen.

    So they would come back: “how much time left for table 15, they just finished their salads”

    Us: “Ummm we don’t have a table 15 on our board”
    The waitress: “oh my god I never put it in the register…can you hurry with that one…what should I do?” Umm comp their drinks and tell them you fucked up??

    Of course it would always be when we were in the weeds getting our ass handed to us 😒

    It doesn’t happen often but if the chef genuinely fucks up there’s like two whole tiers of people and a waiter that let the mistake leave the kitchen and now I, a humble barista, get to march to back of house and start some shit and brothers and sisters I cannot begin to tell you what a rarefied and electric feeling that is. The more serious the error the more likely I am to use the phrase, “somebody made a fucky wucky” and after this many years in the industry I think it’s just about the only way I can achieve climax anymore.

    Look, I will tell the customer whatever BS I need to to to save my ass and tip… but I will never lie to Chef. El Chefe knows all and I could not outlive the shame.
