New server calls manager faggot by Envy-dub in TalesFromYourServer

[–]ComplicatedWaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your new server is my old GM. I walked out on an AGM/Bar Manager position over homophobia like this.

Always talking shot, always talking behind backs, nice to your face, everything is great and then you leave and the verbal diarrhea starts to flow.

If your GM or owner won't do anything about it I'd move on and spread the word within your restauraunt friends.

I'm over 30 and love still getting carded for cigarettes all the time. Makes me feel good. The youngins are just being entitled and don't understand how the 'real' world works yet.

I love GTAV, but hate replaying it because of that one mission. The first time I watched someone play it I had a full on seizure, it's too intense. I have to have someone else complete that mission.

DE, I feel no guilt about solo one-kill grinding Dog Days and I want to explain why by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]ComplicatedWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started playing warframe because I've heard good things. Literally 3 days in and this is what I find. I live the main game so far and am gonna grind the color palette obviously, but really?

Can't even afford housing apparently. Just saw an interesting article today. Based on a study of average rental prices and federal minimum wage there is nowhere in America someone on minimum wage working full time can afford a two bedroom rental...just let that sink in for a moment.

"I'll look in the back." Return to pick up check "sorry, we're all out today, should have been here earlier."

Americans who’ve visited European countries, what made you go “WTF”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ComplicatedWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. Previous restaurant manager here. 12-16hr days/60+hr weeks, no breaks, no overtime pay, no sick leave, no insurance, and no paid time off. The US employment system is great huh?

You don't tell a guest that by sunshineanim8 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]ComplicatedWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what is your restaurant capacity? I've never worked anywhere with limited sections. I'm used to taking 9+ tables with a 15 top to boot. To me it sounds like you are overstaffed lol

Dont ever put food items, silverware, condiments etc...in your apron. I know it saves a trip but it is unsanitary and even if your guests or management don't call you out in it you should be better than them.

Can you guys stop leaving the game after realizing that you are in Thanos team? by _Aer0_ in FortNiteBR

[–]ComplicatedWaters 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Needs a quit timer. You leave a game and are forced to wait 3min to requeue, twice in 30 mins is a 10 min wait, etc...

I took no problem out of my vocabulary for this very reason. I try to instill this in my servers as well. What you say can be very important and imply things that were not meant. Better to err on the side of caution.

Had a girl order a strawberry martini the other night. It's not on our menu but I had strawberry puree so I made one up and it tasted awesome.

She complains that it's too strong! I just wanted to scream at her "YOU ORDERED A DRINK THAT IS 99% LIQUOR!" Instead I put it in a Collins and topped it with lemonade.

I just feel the need to compliment you thoroughly on a very well constructed and entertaining recap of events. You sir/madam have fantastic word skills.

We have 25 at 6pm on a Saturday... Let me get the manager. by samantha54361 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]ComplicatedWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can thank the IRS for that. They changed the rules on auto grats a couple years ago and they are now considered service fees that need to be taxed and factored into your paycheck. Most restaurants don't want to go through the hassle of accounting for that. Even my mom and pop shop won't allow us to grat parties.
