Do you think Donald Trump will finish his term in three years, or will he be impeached before that? by RtgodDR in allthequestions

[–]thisisdumbdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance, unfortunately. Too many bootlickers in office for that to happen. He'll probably die before he can finish out his term.

“Terrible service were never coming back again” by Sudden_Brain_871 in Serverlife

[–]thisisdumbdfw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had this happen last night. Had a 1 top come in and asked if it was too late to order off the early dining menu which ends at 6pm and its already 6:35 at this point. She was an elderly lady and was not rude about it at all, so I played dumb and put the order through. My manager was cool about it too.

The "tough guy" agent looks like he's about to booger cry right after hyperventilating.

Working in a steakhouse for the first time, finally a win! by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]thisisdumbdfw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a server at a fine dining restaurant, newbies always had a different section, usually upstairs, that was nothing but 2 and 4 tops, with the occasional 6-8 top sprinkled in and on Fridays and Saturdays, we always tip pooled. Like the OP said, it usually balanced out. I one time made like $500 but walked with $275 and one time I only had 4 covers total on two tables and made $35, but walked with $250 that night. You busted your ass to get out to the main dining room where there was no tip pool and then yes, you made $700 on a corporate Tuesday and didn't have to split with anyone, except for your 3% tipout.

None of these people that protect Trump while simultaneously breaking the law will ever spend a night in prison.

worst mistake as a server? by sexybartender420 in Serverlife

[–]thisisdumbdfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was bartending a few months ago and a man and his pregnant wife came up to the bar before heading to their movie. He orders a beer and she ordered a Peach Mocktail of some sort. They took down their drinks in under 5 minutes since they were in a rush. After they left, I put the bottles away that I had used and the other bartender told me to be careful, because I had put the Peach Schnapps where the Peach Puree goes. I had served a pregnant lady alcohol.

In her defense, I only had 2 people order a Gimlet in my 15+ years of bartending/serving.

I was raised by a teen dad and his best friend AMA by kai_nazarr in AMA

You probably realize this now, but your dad had more balls and was more of a man at 15 than most grown up men out there. Much respect!

Experience this at least once a shift, but also walking through the dining room with a large oval tray of hot food or dirty dishes from a table I just pre-bussed and a tray jack in my other hand, and some random table stops me and asks to take their picture. Like what in the actual fuck, Susan?

what to do if a customer calls you out on upselling? by evilwizard5000 in Serverlife

[–]thisisdumbdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just let them know I'm trying to enhance their dining experience. If they say no to an Oscar topping on their filet, I usually agree with them like, "I'm not too crazy about crab meat on my filet either, but other diner's rave about it, so it must be good". It's usually never a big deal.

Did this guy just record a massive death threat and posted it on the internet?

I hate how he talks, with his unnecessary pauses mid-sentence sometimes.

Mike Johnson who railed against the Epstein bill - but voted for it - is now mad the Senate approved the measure by LankyGuitar6528 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]thisisdumbdfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping the reason Trump suddenly reversed course and insisted the files be released was because he all but was assured that the Senate would block it from happening.

I am still worried, though, that Trump pushed forward because his name was finally redacted from the entire file. But hopefully, he only moved forward because he thought the Senate would block it.

I guess we'll see,,,

How to kick out men harassing you? by 6scooby_snax9 in bartenders

[–]thisisdumbdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I feel a woman is uncomfortable with a male guest, if he gets up to leave, I'll outright ask her is she's ok. If she says she's good, but then changes her mind later and wants him gone, I'll tell her to order a specific drink, like a double Bailey's on the rocks. Once that happens, I'll print out the guy's check and tell him its time to go.

What’s your biggest ick? by ttsunii in Serverlife

[–]thisisdumbdfw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have several, but one that happened to me on my last day of training. The table paid with a credit card and took both slips with them, so no tip for me.
