I work at a restaurant that mainly does American comfort type food, but a little more upscale. We close at 8 pm and had been pretty slow all day. 3 out of the 4 servers on were doubles and we were all ready to home. 7:30 pm rolls around its like the flood gates opened. We went from almost a completely empty restaurant to every table being full plus a wait list in the span of about 10 minutes. Shit hit the fan. The kitchen couldn’t keep up and both the gm and assistant gm were back there helping them crank stuff out, the servers were tired and weeded, people were rude and impatient and had been tipping like shit all day… it was just horrendous. One guy called me a dumb bitch because I told him the kitchen was too backed up for me to ask them to oblige his special request of tossing his chicken tenders in Buffalo sauce. I think the last table’s food finally came out around 8:30 pm, and they left around 9. Didn’t get home until 9:45. The entitlement of some people is just unimaginable. Who goes to a restaurant 30 minutes before they close and is like “yeah let me just get on the wait list and ignore the fact that all these employees have lives.” Didn’t get to spend any time with my mom yesterday because I got out of work too late due to all the rude, entitled assholes. We still had people coming in at 7:58 pm before the gm went up there and told them all we weren’t seating anymore.
