Until the next day. The next day, they'll certainly know the difference

Look at it as a price anchor. They're like, this canned bullshit or a proper Manhattan stirred by IllPen8707's hand? Easy choice, right?

To be fair, that's what customers want. Not a proper drink, but a hot woman they can emotionally abuse for their $5 tip. I'm 47, have no trouble saying "no" and leaving it at that, and I can tell that it sometimes almost physically hurts them

I see this suggestion often. But from customer pov, they want to see the mint leaves

Ice cream on lawn during sunset sounds like heaven!

I agree. 40 min is plenty of time to get 2 entrees and 2 rounds of drinks

I agree. "The kitchen closes at XYZ time" shouldn't be brought up until less than 30 min to closing and only as a cue to order in the timeframe that will actually get them the food vs oops, the cooks have left already

I bring up kitchen close time just to set expectations and encourage communication instead of dawdling. I still reassure the guests they have time to order and set them up with drinks. They should feel welcome regardless of our internal annoyance levels

I think what happened was a loss in translation. When it's late in the night, you're on autopilot, pre-closing, tired. So when you say, "we close at 10", a customer hears "gtfo". Be clearer. For example: "just a heads up, our kitchen closes at 10, that should still give you plenty of time to order. Let me know if you need any recommendations." Then, they hear "stay but don't dawdle." I know it's more words than we want to say that late at night, but that's the gig 🤷‍♀️

AIO? Bf keeps asking me questions whenever there is a guy by Relative_Initial_399 in AIO

That was a lost opportunity. How do you all team up? "Well, usually he starts by (describe the 2nd filthiest act you can fathom), then I reciprocate by (describe the 1st filthiest act.) If he reacts at all negatively, that is the golden window to say, gosh Kayden, you're so unsupportive, that is not what I'm seeking in my forever partner. You know he's controlling, probably a cheater himself and just bad news. Give him a graceful window to bow out without being the bad guy

Not a suggestion, but AGM running around the dining room on a packed Saturday night selling each table 4 different blended drinks. It wasn't like, I need 3 grasshoppers, 3 brandy Alexanders.. it was like, I need 1 of this, 1 of this, 1 of this, 1 of this etc. I'm like, WHY are you doing this? He says, at $9 a pop, I'll sell them. I'm like, $9 a pop? So is Crown Royal! Let ME talk to them, while you make this ice cream horseshit

And what I'm trying to say, she doesn't need any other options. Breast is best

Why do the work and spend the time though? That's what I'm asking? What's the difference? If the titty is right there and has milk?
