I’m waiting for a nice tip and a loving boop on the nose, life. Been waiting a while.

As a retail employee I've heard that from customers too. It's got to be nicer than walking into a place as morose as a cemetery.

Worst for me: Dude rolls in about 15 before close and asks for a menu...

Who the hell couldn't live on 100,000 a year. Damn.

Lolll yes I love this!! It's so annoying when people just seat themselves (and I'm not even a server!)

She even gave a $10 tip on the card! " and here's a lil' pocket money for you. Get yourself a latte on the way home" 😘

BFF for life. lol

Ooo, that is evil and I like it!

Don't even know where he comes from or where he goes when not in use.

for real though

Try it in Germany and they will be happy about that tip, because they are payed way better and are tipping here is an option and not a necessity. But it is probably like the taxes there....

customers must order into microphone.

This is actually not a bad idea! To bad people will complain about it

As the outside observer, it's hard to tell who's correct. But based solely on the owner's response, I wouldn't visit the establishment.

Everyone should have to do this.

XD

We all have

Same in an office job.

Yes. I have never understood people who are rude to servers. Like, why would you be anything but incredibly kind to a person who is going to be *alone with your food*?

My standard answer was, "Do you remember who your server was? I'll have to let the manager know."

“Unalive?” 🤦🏽‍♀️

I was working for a collections team and got this old guy. I remember he was 68. He was talking nicely and made the payment too. Then he proceeded to tell me about some Indian guy calling him and he refused to make a payment because he was a Hindu. He proceeded to say some real racist stuff when I stopped him to inform that I am an Indian and a Hindu too. There was a pause for two seconds and he said 'but you sound like one of us.' I asked him what does that mean. He replied 'you sound like a texan.' I started laughing and said ' I am sorry but that isn't a compliment ' before disconnecting the call. (It happened 15 years ago, things were bit lenient)

wholly agree with this

yes, almost every server I know hates being busy but also hates being dead.

You do realize you're talking to someone who doesn't GAF about responsibility. They only want someone to scream at/humiliate/blame, etc.

I worked at a fast food place and we would alter the lobby air to match whatever was outside. So, in the summer we would turn the heat on in the lobby if people were still sitting and having a good time when we were ready to close

Well, then, he had a semi-cause excuse, because he shouldn't have done the dumb thing that got him in jail (unless he was Innocent; then completely valid)

LMAO! 😆

Have a sign on the door, "No Public Restroom." At least once an hr "can I use the restroom?" "Where are your restrooms?" "What do you mean you don't have a restroom? That's illegal! I'm calling the police/health department/the state/my mom!"

No… no I think the waitress ID-ing me on my 40th-something birthday while I was out with my parents who are visibly in their 70’s was more uncomfortable. It was a weird moment for everyone involved. (Drinking age is *16* here for the record.)

I always used to reply with "oh like an hour and a half ago" and they'd be like "what?" So I'd shrug my shoulders and say "people kept turning up so I can't leave"

I be comming to work happy, see my boss and become sad. True story.

I once had to cover a shift for a guy who was denied a day off (he only worked half a day and requested EVERYTHING OFF) and drank enough to be off and in the hospital with alcohol poisoning on the denied day

Seen the staff naked?

The proper term is a Complaint of Karens.

Ever try to silently grab the one item you need while your boss is sobbing? I just need sour cream, I don't have time to talk a b***h off the bridge.

The only sport I'd ever watch why isn't this a thing?

Mother's Day was always the busiest day in our restaurant. All the other holidays the moms still apparently cook, but this one day you want to give her the day off but also don't want to put the effort into figuring out a meal, so let's just take the family out to a crowded restaurant where we can complain to the hostess about the seating times and blame the server when it takes a while for our food to be prepared because 17 people ordered before we did. Don't forget to express shock at the amount of the bill when it comes!

This is me everywhere tho. :/

If they actually did know the owner, at the most the owner would have seen them at the door and personally escorted them to their table. At the very least, the owner would’ve informed the staff of their arrival.

Actually we do know the owner and the whole staff is aware and sometimes it gets us slower service cause they know we're chill and understanding (and still leave a decent tip) and you know what... we keep going back cause when they aren't slammed it is the absolute best

A friend of mine was executive chef at a really fancy restaurant, I mentioned his name twice. Both times was because he booked my table in his name so he could pay for it. I had been planning to just be another customer.

Except you really know the owner and he's in the house and you actually manage to get him involved. THEN you still don't look cool and will be hated by the entire staff for the rest of your life. Oh, and I wouldn't want to eat somewhere the staff really hates me!

Just because they know the owner doesn't mean the owner likes them.

At a place I go the servers' t-shirts have "I also know the owner" on the back. Good owner

Always love to see it when Karen says I know the owner…. To the owner

If I said that I would feel dirty, like the rest of my life.

I worked at a place where the owner saw me, screamed and ran away. My mum used to teach him, and I knew 2 of his sisters at school. He was too scared to go into the basement storage with me alone. When I returned to the basement to put out the lights, without seeming scared of the ghosts, that scared him more. He was 6 ft 5. The offices were in an old country house that had very weird stuff happening on a daily basis. Some parts just looked spooky, the doors that opened/ closed by themselves over thick carpets were spooky, the full roast dinner smell when no one was cooking/eating was delicious.

Considering how well most staff are paid I can almost guarantee you that you will be getting extra treatment and probably something extra in your food

I have played the I know the owner, and I am going to tell them what a wonderful job you are doing. And I s that your manager- Great staff Thank you! ( plus I leave a generous tip)

Unless you whisper it to the owner…. in bed.

I was at my buddies bar and like normal I would just walk into the kitchen and make something to eat. Well the new cook had not met me yet and I saw out of the corner of my eye him at the bar getting up to come talk to me. Then the bar maid said something to him as he walked over. he then told me, "let me know if you need any help". Later I asked what she said and was told "I just told him that's the owner best friend"

Doesn't make you cool, but I can promise you, it tends to get you better service IF it's true.
