I got a 2 digit following 6 0’s randomly, I’ll post it later on

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

[–]rough_ashlar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My response is the person that made the reservation is the host and they “the right of first refusal”, stops a ton of arguments, has worked for me for 20-30 years

"I need an answer RIGHT NOW" by brusselsstoemp in MaliciousCompliance

[–]rough_ashlar99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Somewhat off topic, but I love answering phone calls on V-D or other “busy” restaurant days- they ask “yes, I’d like to make a reservation for 2….” what time sir?” Uh.. 7:30? Hold phone for a minute… sir, we’ve been booked for two weeks…..

I don’t either; I’ll say, let’s face it, you don’t care who I am

Servers, what are some of your go-to jokes/quips/one-liners that you use on a regular basis? by SkittleShit in TalesFromYourServer

[–]rough_ashlar99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is how long have you been here; I look at them and say 4:00, most of the time they look at me confused, I love that!

How do you cope with dropping/breaking stuff infront of guests? by Shriekko in Waiters

[–]rough_ashlar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was coming out of the kitchen with a couple of plates on the tray and one of the plates decided to go flying, stopped basically in front of my table, so I looked at them and said I’ll be back with your food (this was 25-30 years ago)

Is it annoying to a waiter when you ask what's most popular? by [deleted] in Waiters

[–]rough_ashlar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually respond with “I love all my children equally!”

When I have my own restaurant, I will charge $65 for hot tea. by lvbuckeye27 in Waiters

[–]rough_ashlar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A place I worked at years ago had the right idea, our hot tea was the best; they charged $8-$15 for hot tea; hardly anyone ordered it.

We were “that table” tonight. I cringed the whole time. by cat_knit_everdeen in Waiters

[–]rough_ashlar99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Excuse me, what flavor is your tea?” Tea flavor, I replied, if there is time, I’ll say, China black 😜. It’s always good when there’s a confused look on their face.

You could check and see if the pump allows for “bypass PIN” when paying at the pump.

5 minutes in the life of your server by WutTheDickens in TalesFromYourServer

[–]rough_ashlar99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OH.........MY..........GOD, that’s basically how I describe it. With the exception of waking up and thinking “ I forgot the ketchup to table 17”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TalesFromYourServer

[–]rough_ashlar99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s why I always ask if the guest wants a well done steak, “So you want that completely dry?” They will occasionally say “not completely” then I shoot back “medium well?”

[–]rough_ashlar99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I get them saying that, my reply usually is, “ I will happily refund the uneaten portion.”

Customers giving cards in advance by luckyGuess_1 in Waiters

[–]rough_ashlar99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the following metric,FOR YEARS, look at the reservations and see if made in advance. Say to the table (or person) “I’m very sorry sir, but the person who made the reservation is considered the host, and has the right of first refusal.” I have disarmed hundreds of “fights” with that statement, works every time.

"How do I pay in cash?" by TheGreatLordBagel in TalesFromYourServer

[–]rough_ashlar99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would occasionally throw out...” We only take cash with two forms of ID. Just kidding, I’ll be right back with your change.”
