restaurant

These hilarious moments will resonate with anyone who works in the restaurant industry. 

Denny's just learned their lesson that if you play with 'fire memes' you're apt to get burned by even spicier memes. 

"It chill if I do a line off this counter?"

If you're going to take the time to leave a scathing Yelp review for a shitty restaurant, in hopes to deter future customers from considering offering their hard-earned coin, then seriously just tell the truth. Not only does this women come across like a five star high maintenance complainer who probably made her server's life a momentary living hell; but she doesn't even do the rest of the world and the restaurant the courtesy of telling the damn truth! At least the owner struck while the iron was hot, and lashed out with a solid reply that had to have put her in her place.

The tweet reads, the product has been made in collaboration with Figgy Poppleton-Rice, an alleged "#CleanEating fanatic and cauliflower connoisseur". Uhhh so yeah, their first Instagram post was a mere few weeks ago. Just getting started on the 'Gram' or are we witnessing a sweet display of trolling by KFC? Either way, the buffet of hilarious reactions thus far is nothing short of 5/5 stars.

Mathing when it's time to 'settle up' is hard, and especially if you're out drinking yourself stupid like many of these poor-tipping, brain-incapacitated boozehounds evidently were. I'm all for the humor, but by the grace of all that is good and reasonable in this crazy world, don't fail to leave a decent tip. Working on bended, tired knee, and used 'n abused non-slip shoe, through the hospitality industry is no easy business. I'm the first to complain about my old days of slugging it through double shifts as a busboy/dishwasher (team bitch) turned waiter, who consistently counted on tips to put a little extra meat on an otherwise skeletal budget. If you can't afford to tip well don't drink/eat out, but if you can, take inspiration from the people that provided decent gratuity with a solid side of humor on some of these receipts. 

If there's one breed of hedonistically-inclined boozehound that knows how to silence a soul-crushing hangover, it's a chef. When it comes to the hangover, the chef has the golden recipe that will never fail to alleviate your tired 'ol soul. I don't mean to stereotype here, but growing up, the time I spent working in a restaurant as an alternating busboy/dishwasher (aka Team Bitch) was wrought by regular -- almost daily -- hilarious instances involving red-eyed, booze-on-the-breath, impossibly irritable chefs on epic benders that somehow kept showing up for work. Well, if these hangover cures are any sort of hint as to what they were shoving down their gullet, it might finally all make sense now for how they kept clocking on. 

Big shoutout to the people over at Munchies that pulled this invaluable list of five star, chef-prepared wisdom, together.
