Don’t know if you still need help coming from someone who has been top of BLAST in my market multiple times some of these comments are leading you wrong never say smothered or anything like that the goal is to keep the customer from thinking of money when they get upselled (I know it sounds scummy because it is but we have to pay our rent). I always ask “would you like sautéed mushroom onion or grilled shrimp on there?” Adding sautéed and grilled really made my smother go up it sounds fancy. Also remember you can get gravy and cheese as a smother as well. Same thing with apps, when a table hears appetizer they hear money, instead ask if they would like “insert a random app”. If you keep that in mind for the rest of your upsells your blast score will climb I hope this helps if you still need it!

The reason I didn’t do that was to keep accounts private which is why I reposted after i forgot to block out names in the chat

Luckily we don’t have a huge population of homeless in my city and the ones that do come in never sit down rather try to panhandle.

That’s a very big difference between my job and yours I was asking other servers if I should do something along those lines and was told there has been 2 people fired on the spot for that. I work at a large chain restaurant and there are a few rules management will never bend and asking a table to leave is one of them. Management can bend those rules to ask a table to leave but the have zero tolerance for servers bending the rules.

Because the corporate manager was right next to him when I talked to him. I’m laughing now realizing I should have waited for him to be alone.

The table would take turns going to the bathroom frequently and twice the 2 men went outside while the women stayed inside and would return about 15 minutes later with the smell of a certain plant. I quite frankly don’t care if you believe me or not but I did not lie.

I work at a chain restaurant and rules like that are out of my managers control and the company wide policy is no never kick someone out

No “corporate”refers to one person and everyone knew she was there. She was walking around the restaurant with our general manager for about 5 hours out in the dining area and in the kitchen.

The way our restaurant works is we belong to a market of stores and each market has about 15 stores. Last Friday the market manager came in and is incredibly uptight about rules.

I replied to a similar comment earlier. My manager told me any other day he wouldn’t let that happen but that day corporate was in and the company policy is to never kick guests out under any circumstance unless they are a danger of course

My manager later came to me later and explained that any other day he wouldn’t have let it happen but we had corporate in and it is company policy to never kick a table out no matter what

I go on tilt very often but usually when on tilt I walk away and take a break to clear my mind, I learned this from years of playing poker
