"For my dinner, can I have spaghetti, but with fettuccine noodles and marinara?"
Sir, I don't know what you think the word "spaghetti" means, but I promise that you're wrong.

When you throw silverware into the dish pit and then the dirty water splashes you in the face.
if you’ve ever worked in food service you’re a hero i don’t make the rules
Made these little origami babes out of the chopstick holders at a sushi place and left them (along with a tip) for my waiter when I left.
There a number of things about working in a restaurant that I hate, but one them is how stupidly classist customers can be. This is an actual conversation I had with a middle aged white man in a suit and tie the other day:
Guy: did you guys just close?
Me, literally mopping the floor: yes, I’m sorry we closed five minutes ago.
Guy: so I can’t order anything?
Me: no I’m really sorry.
Guy: why do you close so early?
Me: because when my boss had another restaurant in the past, they closed much later, and he never got to spend time with his family.
Guy: well, he doesn’t have to be here.
Actually, my boss does have to be there. What this rando didn’t know is that my boss is not only the owner, but also one of the chefs. His wife also cooks the food with him, so she can’t be a stay at home mom. Their young son hangs out at the restaurant every day after school and all day during the summer because his parents work so much. We close early so they can actually get some rest and family time together. Plus, it’s really nice for us employees to not have to be there until midnight BECAUSE GUESS WHAT WE ALSO HAVE LIVES. Frankly, I don’t care if you make $90k a year and only hang out with your family on yearly vacations or whatever. You being obtuse about our closing time doesn’t make me want to serve you. Quit being so entitled and figure out how to feed yourself.
