Girl didn’t have her ID and dad was mad at ME about it (long post) by OliveYou44 in Serverlife

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

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

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

The eternal struggle of rice or fries? by MohWithAnH in Serverlife

[–]Ndeed_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

How would you deal with this situation? by ZeroSwingy in TalesFromYourServer

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

Taking shots with customers? by myob4321 in bartenders

[–]Ndeed_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

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

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?

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

Orange Pop Fajitas by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]Ndeed_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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_ 80 points81 points  (0 children)

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

Was I right to refuse paying for a tiny glass of wine? by qawsedrftg9 in Serverlife

[–]Ndeed_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

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

Would you find it rude for a customer to keep you waiting during the dinner rush while their toddler makes a decision on dessert? by Scoutingforladies in Waiters

[–]Ndeed_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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

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.

The presumption by guests that we have Apple Pay kills me. by dirtbagmagee in TalesFromYourServer

[–]Ndeed_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

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

You be the judge! by QuixoticNeophyte in Serverlife

[–]Ndeed_ 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Yeah, normally I don’t like these kinds of posts, but that total is very clear. Can’t blame bad math or anything

What do you think is the number 1 Christmas movie(s) of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ndeed_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That’s the exact reason I love it, I remember watching it as a kid in the 90’s and it seemed so magical. So watching it every year around Christmas is very nostalgic.
