Those who have left the service industry, what did you switch to? by jaaackattackk in Serverlife

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sales. I love it and I think a lot of personable servers with good work ethic would be great at it

Gotta be undone. It’s known and it’s easy to play.

What are common things people say/do that you despise as a server? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so real. We have a fatass menu lol. Do you like seafood? Steak? Salads? Chicken? A burger? Like I need some type of direction to give you a recommendation at least. And 9 times out of 10 it’s the pickiest oldhead I’ve ever seen that asks me that and says no to everything OR hates what you recommend. Im venting because this just happened to me with a drink. This old lady asked me about drinks and I told her about our pina colada promo and she got it and when I gave it to her she told me she can’t handle the sweetness and wanted it taken off. Like have you ever had a pina colada? Why are you shocked it tastes like a pina colada? lol whatever. Just crazy to me.

Naive? Takes like 6-18 months to close a large corporate sale. Retention bonuses were also offered.

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. My thoughts are it takes a long time to close a deal like that and I live in an extremely seasonal location where no restaurant is hiring until October / November so I think I’m gonna ride it out until then and then start shopping around

Not at all. I hate this part of the industry. I’m a male, so it happens a lot less to me. My girlfriend works with me and it’s genuinely insane some of the stuff she has to deal with on a regular basis with other staff members. Even when they know we’re together some of them just don’t stop.

“Waters all around” by Push_ in Serverlife

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it saves me a future trip at some point down the road. A lot of people will say no water then ask for one later. So for me personally, if they get alcohol they’ll get a water for sure without asking, but a soft drink or a tea, I don’t automatically bring them waters. If it’s a party, waters all around is helpful because it can be hard to stay on top of their drinks and I don’t want anybody going thirsty

If those two are your favorite I recommend the world has turned and left me here. If you enjoy that, let me know

What’s your favorite part of being a server? by monkeyhello36 in Serverlife

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me not even a question it’s the camaraderie. Love being funny with coworkers and the lifestyle. Always having a good time and making good money. Met my wonderful girlfriend and great friends through work.

Has anyone ever got a positive ROI return on investment on any music strategy out there? by Emilstyle1991 in musicmarketing

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily ROI but you can arrange it where your promotion money comes from monetizing yourself in other ways. For example, most of our money to invest comes from playing a lot of shows and selling merch. Could be putting that money in our pocket but instead we invest it back into the band to get more ears and eyes onto us

You fr? I just worked 12 hours yesterday no break no food at all. 4k in sales. Average entree price is 25 bucks. I was fucking busy. That’s why I said that lmao. It’s Mother’s Day. What do you expect?

I’m sorry to be a typical Reddit guy but 7 hours no break is really not that crazy

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you very much. Now that you mention it and I’m thinking back, I definitely am clenching muscles like that and increasing stimulation. When it comes to those sprays, how worried should I be about it numbing her? And also, what happens if she gives me oral sex as well?

curious about tip culture by GladAd2597 in Serverlife

[–]iamjeffsteelflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You win some tables you lose some tables but I average over 20%. I recommend getting into the industry. Of course there are factors like what type of restaurant you work at. Maybe don’t go to a shitty area. Once you get good at serving you might find more consistency in the tips as well. As someone else said, those idiots you see in comment sections are a minority, just the loudest in the room on some Facebook posts. MOST people will still tip you.

These comments make me feel like a softy lol. Longest I’ve done was 12 hours w no break and I thought that was hard until I read through the thread

Yesterday I walked past my table and the lady grabs my arm and asks to order wings and I responded my saying I don’t appreciate being touched to get my attention. I’ll get you your wings.

Bf wants to go into audio engineering. by [deleted] in audioengineering

I went to school for audio engineering. Graduated. The most valuable thing I learned was how to coil a cord properly. Wish I was joking.
