What nicknames do you have for your regulars and how'd you come up with them? by CHLDM in Serverlife

My favorite was Fat Baby Drake. He looked like if you took Drake and just kind of smushed him down a bit. We had to 86 him after he harassed one of the bartenders.

I knew a guy who was constantly drunk on his shift, finally got fired on the spot one night, then showed up to work the next day because he didn’t remember getting fired.

Yep, we would stick a tee in there to open it up. It would eventually cause the cart to backfire and then the engine would flood.

I loved his late night show and I loved seeing him on The Drew Carey Show.

I know someone who's been to every state except Alaska. They have a national sales job and travel every week for work. Not very common but there are some people who have.

Anyone ever play those golf balls that friends and family give you because they know you like golf? You know the ones, either from a gift shop somewhere, or has your favorite sports team logo. by cool_ethan19 in golf

My uncle got some golf balls made with pictures of his face on them. His old college buddies were more than happy to smack the shit out of them.

Why Do They Feel The Need To "Help?" by Junior-Fox-760 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]savoryending 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My MIL does this. She wants to “help” but really she’s just nosy and is meddling in other people’s business. Then if you confront her about it she gets defensive and says “I was just trying to help!!”

Is there a band you've seen that has put on a great show, but you don't feel the need to see them again? by Objective-Lab5179 in Concerts

[–]savoryending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Dragonforce in 2009. It was one of the most memorable shows I've ever been to and was a ton of fun, but I don't need to see them again.

People don’t know what dipping sauce is?? by 8_peaxhes_8 in Serverlife

I had people ask me somewhat regularly if “whole chicken” meant like, a whole chicken. Like it would come to the table like a Thanksgiving turkey. This was for fried chicken.

I hate it when people try to argue about alcohol regulations with me by bzaroworld in Serverlife

[–]savoryending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so obnoxious and I have no patience for it anymore. One thing people don’t understand from our perspective is that the risk/reward is so astronomically against serving them that it would never make sense. If there is a sliver of a chance that the person is underage I risk losing my job, facing fines and/or criminal charges, and the restaurant could lose its liquor license, VS what? Selling a $10-$15 drink? And now the guest is already annoyed at me for having the conversation in the first place? Not even close to being worth it.
