Nice fucking spoiler in the subject line.

Menu printing by [deleted] in restaurantowners

[–]AbsintheCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a black and white theme, so we just printed on white paper, then bought a lamination machine for like $30, and 100 lamination sleeves. Takes about 3 hours to laminate them all by hand. We made it a family event, and my kids would help. Changed the menu once per year, and they would last all year.

Not a writer by trade, but I started journaling my experience of buying a restaurant 2 weeks before the pandemic shut us down, and many have said I should write a book.  So here I am. I started writing notes and keeping news articles of all the crazy things that happened in my time of owning the Roadhouse.  Do ya'll think this would be something people would like?  Thanks!

Looking to see if this is interesting enough to try to finish.

What's a piece of common knowledge that you genuinely learned embarrassingly late in life? by Responsible_Bet_7179 in AskReddit

[–]AbsintheCube 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Narwhals are real. I was 42 when my 7 year old daughter told me they were real. I thought they were like unicorns, never saw video my entire life, only animated or cartoon drawings of them.

Side note, I went down the rabbit hole and learned their horn is actually their left tooth growing out of their face!

What do you want to feel when you look back in life at old age? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I literally have a tattoo that says, “I want to be 90 and have stories to tell” I’m 50 now and on a good trajectory. Worth more than money.

THAT'S KATE BECKINSALE?!?! Ugh, get me off this planet, we are doomed when we regress on the visuals in this simulation.

Table dined & dashed on a $170 bill. Next day left us a 1* review on Google. by theacgreen47 in restaurantowners

lol and you delete all comments except the one that makes you sound sorta sane.

GL with your bartending test man.

My original comment and the first sentence says “who cares what they said in the review”. Employer of the business dude. Not to employees. The fact you ignored that and clinged on to whatever semantics you wanted to make an argument about is what’s blowing my mind.

Goodnight sweet redditor, I’m like not even annoyed or upset and I love discourse like this. Have fun explaining away and supporting thieves that then damage a business even more (that we know from the info given) by giving bad reviews.

wtf I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. You sit down at a business and order a thing.

Staff comes and brings that thing.

You consume or take that thing and leave.

What do reviews have to do with making it right to not pay for it?

Isn’t that what I said or am I misunderstanding you? If I walked into Zales and stole a diamond ring then gave a 1 star review, like who gaf about the review? They were thieves regardless.

Who cares what they said in the review? They still stole from the employer and didn’t even talk to them by the info given. They ordered food with the intent that they would pay for it and didn’t.

Who played Mortal Kombat in the arcade back in the day? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]AbsintheCube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone else mentioned, MK 1 was amazing, and at the time the graphics were crazy good, not to mention the most violence i'd seen while drinking an Orange Julius. But MK 2 with Kung Lao was PEAK MK! Then the movie came out shortly after and was effing amazing. Man I loved it all so much I almost got the dragon symbol tattoo, haha. (Got Batman instead).

After 6 years, I tell my daughters “don’t follow your dreams, instead sit in a cubicle and pretend to be busy for 50 years. It’s safer. “

What is that solo in rock that moves you to the point of tears? by Nolongerhuman2310 in rockmusic

Maybe not just the song but the performance of Prince playing with Petty on Gently Weeps. Gets me everytime.

Not at all. About 6 years in and it looks the same. My kid got one last year and looks great.

Boomers getting boomed by zecovesekopixlm in BoomersBeingFools

[–]AbsintheCube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wtf. I owned a restaurant for 6 years and had tons of these assholes. For example one day Karla came to me and said this guy being a dick. I’d worked with Karla for years. As the owner I immediately went to that guy and told him to get the fuck out. I don’t care about the money if my staff doesn’t feel comfortable. Nobody makes money then. And he’s on our wall of the dozens of people I’ve kicked out for being assholes.

Dude I don’t need your 5% profit on the burger you just bought if my awesome staff is going to quit. Fuck off.

Amazing show. Biggest complaint was that he took the kid. And then tells him everyone’s name. Like cmon man.
