“often made up or extremely exagerated service/food issues. These douchebags are the same want sumthin’ for nuthin’ losers who make it sound like you attempted to poison them with a plate of ffod they SOMEHOW manager to eat every last bite of BEFORE making negative comment one about DESPITE their server asking if everything was alright or did they need anything else several times as they managed to choke down said horrid food.”

At least 50% of my customers pulled that. My managers treated me like I had done something wrong even though I hadn’t cooked the shit. Only once did somebody question a customer why they ate the WHOLE THING when their lobster tasted funny. Their meal still got comped. And the managers couldn’t figure out why the company couldn’t turn a profit…

Comment on WTF do people attending a birthday meal out bring in store bought cakes?!?!?? by Food Service Ninja

You must not read these blogs a lot but ESPECIALLY on the server ones we use these writing techniques in this case and most commonly used is SARCASM. Also used but less frequently are FORESHADOWING AND IRONY.

Realistically I dont want their nasty assed cakes as 90% these went by the grocery store or even the discount club and they a minimally decorated and covered in shortening based icing which I find nasty.

The POINT of the post was to complain about my pet peeve of people bring in a store bought cake which I have to find in that particular job the bread plates which in the middle of dinner rush always in short supply because the owner is always behind buying replacement plates lost to breakage. This is basically a way for someone too cheap to order a round of dessert or a round of shared desserts. Then I have to in some cases do the plating of the dessert-I get paid $2.13 per hour Im not your scullion maid!. Then they get the shit everywhere and because its cheap nasty assed cake they eat half of it or less making it a NIGHTMARE to get all of it to the dishpit without it getting everywhere.

In closing you have taken one sentence out of the post and made that be the whole post. Maybe you should reread things you disagree with so you can get the message-try starting with the title as it summaries my feelings that the post was made from quite well.

normally i take the server’s side since people aka customers just plain suck, but are you fucking kidding me? you’re even pissed they didn’t offer you any of their cake?!!?! do you get pissed when customers don’t give you a bite of the steak they ordered from you? grow up- this is not in any way shape or form a story that belongs with the likes of many other horrible waiting war stories.

I cant say that 90% are garbage but of any racial group they are the worse to wait on bar none. Then again in having worked 3 years serving food in a black friendly place I have met some wonderful gracious people many of which are fine to excellent tippers.

What do you expect, blacks don’t know how to tip. Their “me-first”, “gimme dat” attitudes prevent their undeveloped brains from grasping the concept of tipping. At least 90% of blacks tip like sh*t, if at all. They should be ashamed and should definitely be served with caution by any wait staff. And don’t ever let them pull their typical trick where they send everything back in order to get a free meal. They are complete garbage. 90% of them at least.

I love it when they blow it and try to use the same credit card to pay for both checks so they delay paying one table’s check. I had it happen once so I pull my manager over and show him how table1 had a payment on the same credit card number as the one they were using to pay for table 2. He tacked on gratuity for both tables to tab for table 2. I enjoyed laughing at them to their face when they protested the charges. At the time we had the local area patrolman in for our free coffee and the chef would make em some random snack so I offered to let them discuss it with the cop on the legality. They declined. Signed. Never returned.
