let me ask you something how intelligent do you have to be to take a food order sometimes your
restaurant visit doesn't always go as planned ever wonder why well to find out if you're a terrible
customer here are 10 reasons why your server hates you can i get you started with drink just
water would be great oh my god i love water me too walk in right before closing i don't have anything
we're closing everyone who has ever worked at a restaurant knows this is one of the worst things
a customer could ever do walking into a restaurant that's about to close is the perfect way to ensure
you will be hated by just about everybody inside yes technically if it closes at 8 and you walk in
at 7 55 it is still open and they still need to serve you however don't expect any of it to be
done out of the goodness of their hearts i hate this job their shift has now been extended for at
least an hour the buses will despise you because they can't leave until you do the cooks will be
fuming since the kitchen is essentially closed the grill has been scrubbed the cutlery cleaned and
everything was wrapped up for the night you won't be your server's favorite customer of the night
either what can you do to avoid this unfortunate situation since everybody's got to eat consider
the time and order promptly keeping in mind which dishes are easiest to whip up at this hour perhaps
even ask if there are any late night selections that are meant for quick service another thing
you can do is to sit at the bar which is usually open for an hour or so more or simply ask for your
meal to go this will probably only set the staff back a couple of minutes and you can still have
a delicious meal yeah yeah can we get the chicken you don't tip uh-uh i don't tip you don't tip no i
don't believe in it ah yes the bane of everyone's existence people who won't or simply don't know
how to tip properly tipping depending on where you live can be subjective for example in europe
tipping culture isn't as strict and mandated as it is in america in fact in france anything between
5 and 10 is considered generous since there is already a 15 service charge applied to the check
over here though things are a little bit different not only does tipping let your server know that
you've enjoyed their service but it also helps make their salary most waiters receive base pay
and depend almost entirely on tips to make ends meet what's your plan here i'm encouraging you
to leave twelve dollars this is because the service fee isn't included in the price so
if you don't tip them they don't get paid for serving you so when a table especially a large
one decides not to leave any tip it quickly becomes a very hated party at the restaurant
now maybe they don't know how they're supposed to tip because they're tourists but a lot of times
it's out of spite some people will leave hateful notes on the table explaining why they didn't tip
like we don't believe in tipping or didn't like the food which are never welcome the government
also taxes servers according to what they assume you are making in tips and let's not forget the
fact that they pooled their earnings splitting it with the rest of the staff like busers and hosts
so really if you can't afford to tip you can't afford to eat out stay at home taking your sweet
time could you give us just a minute please of course no one should feel rushed when going out to
eat obviously if you wanted fast dining you would have picked a fast food place and not a sit-down
restaurant but going to a full-service restaurant doesn't mean you can take all the time in the
world either as you know time is money and that goes for the server waiting on your table as well
taking too long to order can be frustrating for them especially on a busy night if you constantly
ignore the servers attempts to get your order there is a high chance you're already getting
on their nerves there you go if you want to order something else tell me i'll get it for you what's
even worse than that saying you're ready to order when you're not not only are you wasting the
server's time but you're also wasting everyone else's the same goes for people that linger too
long after their checks are settled staying a bit to digest and figure out your next move is okay
but monopolizing a table for an hour after the last bite or sip was taken is pushing it the
time you spend at your table doing nothing takes another paying customer away from the server
you shouldn't overstay your welcome can i get you something else a sandwich something to eat along
with your coffee you're clueless there's a hair in my soup but i'll just eat around it this one is a
little trickier than the other reasons your server hates you during an outing at the restaurant
there's a lot that can go wrong improperly cooked meats mix-ups in the kitchen off tasting dishes
and the odd human error that can put a dent in your evening of course servers are there to make
your night enjoyable and need to know if something is out of place but there are limitations to what
they can control come on i've suddenly lost my appetite oh who's going to believe that
if your problem is caused by a mistake or misunderstanding they will be able to help but
if it has to do with you being clueless and having different expectations than what's being offered
you're on your own before you order anything it's important to understand the extent of what you're
getting read the menu descriptions carefully ask questions for clarification or consider taking a
recommendation from the server if the meal you end up choosing doesn't meet your expectations it's
okay to be disappointed but sending it back or demanding something else isn't always acceptable
whether or not it's their fault the server will most likely be blamed for the wasted food
so be mindful when ordering um how's this your reuben it's okay but there is a lot of pus on it
i'll have that too many substitutions wow look at these prices yeah these are pretty
chi-ching there's always that one person who's never satisfied with the way things are on the
menu changing the chicken for beef replacing the green beans with asparagus or substituting
the salad for a plate of wings at this point it becomes a whole new meal sure if you have
allergies or specific dietary restrictions asking for some substitutes is pretty standard but there
is only so much you can change on your plate before you start to upset the chef and while they
want to make you happy and meet your every need it's not always up to your server for instance a
lot of items are pre-mixed or marinated in advance which makes it hard to accommodate your demands
no substitution other times the ships may simply refuse to make any adjustments to the plates
saying it could ruin the integrity of their dishes some demands can be reasonable like asking for the
sauce on the side but requesting the vegetables be exchanged for extra chicken simply isn't it
can also be hard to add or subtract prices to a dish meaning you could end up with a lot less
food but paying the same amount another thing nothing is free you want to change your chips for
sweet potato fries sure no problem but you'll have to pay the extra two bucks since the staff has no
control over additional charges that's unfair it's incredibly unfair cranky kids i hate being
there lily honey we don't hate i hate vietnam no matter where you go no one likes to be disturbed
by screaming children whether it's on an airplane a busy mall or a peaceful saturday night out at a
restaurant obviously sometimes kids can randomly get riled up for a second and be okay afterwards
that's fine but what's not fine is when the entire restaurant gets disturbed for the whole time
there are a lot of well-behaved and well-mannered kids out there but there are also those who like
to cause trouble you know the ones who scream kick throw things and run around other tables
with no intervention from the parents that's the kind servers usually have a problem with
allowing children to wander around the restaurant is unsafe for both them and the staff i want to go
what happens if a server trips over a kid and spills a tray of hot food on them this goes
hand in hand with children having manners towards restaurant staff being polite to servers doesn't
only apply to adults letting children talk down to servers is not something that should
be encouraged and neither is forcing them to order for themselves when they're uncomfortable
if your kid is having a bad day the best thing to do probably isn't bringing them to a restaurant
full of people sorry mom you're rude waitress dude this one should really go without saying and yet
there are still a lot of people out there who are incredibly rude to their servers most of the time
for no valid reason at all sometimes however you might not even realize that you're being rude and
honestly we can't tell which is worse there is one thing everyone should remember before going to a
restaurant and that is servers are humans too they have a life outside of their workplace and they
are allowed to make mistakes human being you're a human being you can just just say yelling from
the top of your lungs at your server because they forgot to refill your water isn't going to bring
anything but awkwardness to the dining room and earn you a spot on their list of worst customers
ever also snapping your fingers or whistling isn't an acceptable way to get their attention either
think about it you probably wouldn't like anyone addressing you that way so why do it to other
people another way you can come across as rude is by making every single issue their fault blaming a
server for something they have no control over is the best way to receive poor service god i
hate this place acting like you know the owner do you mind a post personal offender the owner it's
true that when you go to a place where you know the owner it can come with a few advantages
at least if the owner is present and has the time to actually visit you at the table whether it's
a free appetizer on the house there can be a lot of positives however there's a difference between
actually knowing the owner and pretending you do in order to get special treatment nothing annoys
servers more than having to listen to someone say but i know the owner
that's often a response people give when they're told they can't have something even if you do know
the owner it doesn't automatically entitle you to anything and the servers especially do not owe you
anything this is my restaurant and we'll start the food that i want to serve if the place is packed
with a 45 minute wait and you forgot to make a reservation saying the owner is your great
uncle's cousin's brother won't make things go any faster especially if it's not true a lot of
people continue to try this tried and usually failed technique to get themselves freebies
discounts and several other possible advantages if you do this no you're on the server's no list
you're cheap how much is that 14 man similar to how not tipping means you shouldn't be dining out
if you can't actually afford the prices on the menu then you should eat somewhere else we've
all known someone who tries to bargain their way into reducing costs or getting a discount
these types of penny pushers really get on servers nerves including adults who order off
the kids menu ask for multiple baskets of bread or even fill their pockets with extra condiments if
i get it without the nuts and leeks and stuff is it cheaper oh and let's not forget people who ask
for a bunch of lemons to make their own lemonade because they don't want to pay full price for it
another thing that grinds your servers gears when customers expect them to make a menu price a lower
if they leave something off the plate ordering the steak and fries special without the fries
still costs the same regardless of whether you want the whole dish or not trying to change
set menu prices won't get very far in your money saving journey let alone into the good graces of
your server if you want to stay on your server's good side stick with what's on the menu and save
your bargaining for some place more appropriate like the flea market your name goes in the book
what book the enemies of magic book asking to prepare food you brought in my own way on my
own terms this one goes hand in hand with asking for too many substitutions and not being satisfied
with what's offered on the menu whether you're a picky eater or on a special diet or simply because
you don't like the food at the restaurant some people think it's okay to bring their own food
and ask the server to prepare it for them this was especially common when the prepared foods
diet craze began spreading and people were trying to stick to their menus as much as they could
cancer heart disease drowning all preventable with a vegan diet and a life jacket asking for
the kitchen to warm up your tupperware and put it on a plate is the same as bringing food in from
another restaurant which is obviously not okay thankfully restaurants nowadays have implemented
policies to prevent this kind of practice but it still hasn't stopped people from trying
when you go to a restaurant you're supposed to eat the food they serve if you're not vibing with the
menu simply go somewhere else or ask your friends to take it to go and head to a park bringing your
leftover plate from last night's supper or your gluten-free bread and rolls isn't being respectful
of the server but the same goes for the cooks in the kitchen unless you have bad allergies
it's best to stick to the menu or stay home no one wants to smell your food all over the dining room
what the that smell what's that smell what smell looking for more just tap or click another video
