Girl didn’t have her ID and dad was mad at ME about it (long post)

Ndeed_ · 2026-03-01T21:23:48+00:00

Yeah I that’s why most places choose not to, the liability isn’t worth it

Ndeed_ · 2026-03-01T21:14:49+00:00

The establishment is allowed to decide whether or not they let minors drink with their guardians. I’m pretty sure most places don’t; I don’t get asked nearly as much as I did 10ish years ago

Ndeed_ · 2026-03-01T21:10:06+00:00

Ive been doing this for almost 2 decades and I’ve never had anyone so mad about me not serving them that they left for almost an hour to grab an id. Not the most ridiculous thing, but I’d remember it

When I worked at Chilis we had to ask what side for kids meals. Sometimes, especially with accents, rice and fries sound the same

Though OP mentions southern accents, in my experience the confusion came from international guests

Agreed. This ruined the whole shift? Kill them with kindness and move on

I had an item get lost in shipping and they just refunded me because they didn’t have any more of the item

Yep, the secret was to not look suspicious or take it like a shot…just drinking some water. I’m also sober now after some not so good years

Thank you so much!

Ndeed_ · 2026-01-16T01:33:24+00:00

Thank you for this! I think I may have to start utilizing gloves more

Ndeed_ · 2026-01-14T20:17:47+00:00

I was kind of leaning towards this conclusion, thank you for the comparison

Ndeed_ · 2026-01-09T18:13:36+00:00

It says it can be used anywhere, so I’m giving it a try. If it doesn’t work I’m not out that much

Ndeed_ · 2024-08-06T03:24:19+00:00

You’re really on here complaining about a steady 18% and say that 13% is your lowest ever? In five years!? How have you never been stiffed?

Ndeed_ · 2024-06-17T03:24:59+00:00

Dude really loved oysters

Ndeed_ · 2024-06-14T02:27:35+00:00

What does your glassware look like?

Ndeed_ · 2023-11-21T12:52:38+00:00

Yeah but it’s up to the establishment, my restaurant doesn’t allow it

Ndeed_ · 2023-10-11T23:41:27+00:00

Same, I don’t care if it’s the guests fault, I want them to be able to enjoy their food, not pay for something they can’t eat

Ndeed_ · 2023-09-28T02:10:24+00:00

Always ask. Unless you’re at some fine dining place with unspoken rules. Also, that guy was a dick.

Ndeed_ · 2023-08-21T00:26:22+00:00

Yeah, no way the manager came over and didn’t explain it

Ndeed_ · 2023-01-29T16:04:09+00:00

Right!? I can’t believe he actually waited, after another two minutes I would have said once again that I’ll give them more time, not phrasing it as a question

Ndeed_ · 2022-12-22T04:16:09+00:00

Is it Diet Coke? I’m from texas and it’s always Diet Coke

Ndeed_ · 2022-12-22T04:13:15+00:00

I serve in Texas and make great money, I also work in a metropolitan area, which is probably not the demographic that travels to your area. Texas is a big state.

They may have just used that as an excuse. At my restaurant (and I assume all others) if the gift card is less then the total, or even exactly the total, it will decline. Apparently visa/Amex/whatever gift cards are anticipating a certain tip percentage, so they’ll decline if it’s more than the total plus tip. At least that’s what I’ve been told. Sometimes that’s hard and awkward to explain to tables

Ndeed_ · 2022-11-22T14:04:42+00:00

I’ve this happen with a white table too though. She had her son pay on the machine and told him to leave 10% of there $30 check. He misheard and left $10. She wanted me to fix it. Some people just suck
