On todays episode of “what the fuck is going on around here”

Tell me what’s wrong with this picture

Also side note- the floor is not dirty, that’s the color of the tile. Why they chose that hideous always dirty look, I’ll never know. Our counters have a weird marbling, too, that looks like there’s coffee spilled on it. Perfect for a coffee shop 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fire whoever the interior decorator is.

If you do this, the servers and bartenders automatically hate you. There’s about 20 people squeezed into that one small pathway. We legit can’t get through to get to our own customers.

Wise words from the restaurant I work at

[starsandsnowclouds]

So fuck customers, right.

At the pub where I work, we are accepting both card and cash payments. A lot of people appreciate that they can use cash, as there a lot of places currently refusing to accept it.

So I have a table ask for their bill, I bring it over, he asks if he can pay cash. I say yes, no problem, and he gets out his wallet and jokes that "it's clean, don't worry; I washed it this morning". I laugh it off, and THEN... this guy, in a GLOBAL FUCKING PANDEMIC, gets out his cash, LICKS HIS FINGER, counts it out and hands it to me. Man I held that cash at arms length like it was a ticking bomb and downed my hands in sanitiser once it was in the till. To add to it all, I was cashing up tonight so had to touch it again when counting the till, cue a shed load more sanitiser.

Why are people gross?

customer: my Coke tastes funnny and this shrimp roll is not good

me: okay, I can either offer you a refund for those or give you another one

custormer pushing his plate and drink to me: no, really, if you don't believe me try it!

me: sir, that's really not necessary

customer pushing it even more: no, here! try it!

me: sir, i can't have those but i didn't say i don't believe you. would you like a refund?

customer *angry*: no, i want you to eat this!

me: i can'thave those, i'm diabetic and allergic to shrimp

customer: oh... *stops and thinks for a while* still, you should try it doesn't taste alright

me ft the loudest sigh i could do: sir, i can give you a replacement drink and a refund for your food, i'll also tell the kitchen staff to see if there's anything wrong with the ingredients, but i'm not going to risk my life just so you can prove me you have a point

no salt?

I keep forgetting to post some of the ridiculous encounters I have with customers at work but this happened just yesterday and it confused me so much I remembered it enough to post it. 

So this guy and his wife come in and are sat in my section. I get their drinks and bread and they are ready to order. The lady orders our lunch shrimp scampi and all is good. When I take the guys order he goes “I want to do the shrimp scampi and the chicken fingers, but I can’t have salt on the scampi.” Okay... I check with my manager to see if we can even do that and the answer is yes but it won’t come in the garlic butter since that has salt in it. I come back and relay this information to him and he says “That’s fine.” Cool. Ring in the order, bring out their salads and when the food is ready I drop it off and ask if they need anything else. They say no and I’m off to greet another table. I come back a couple minutes later to check on them and the guy is taking his shrimp and dunking it in his wife’s scampi butter. I ask if everything is alright and he goes “Mine doesn’t have any garlic in it.” Like bruh, we had this conversation. I was there, you were there, physicaly at least. So I go, “Oh well that is just because our garlic butter has salt in it and we made yours differently since you requested no salt.” And he just stares at me and goes “Ah...” 

They tipped okay but like dude. Even when I told him the first time his wouldn’t have garlic in it he said “Oh cause it’s like a garlic salt?” And I said “Yes.”
