 waiter waiters food food service dining customers kitchen server server life tips Tipping restaurant menu owner

'This is not what our guests are used to, but... it is the right thing to do': Restaurant owner informs diners that they shouldn't tip servers, faces online backlash from skeptical waiters

This restaurant owner has an idealistic way of running their eatery, but online, people are totally divided on the idea. It seems like the topic of tipping is everywhere these days. More and more establishments are incorporating tipping into their business models. From coffee shops to restaurants to food trucks, almost anywhere you get food these days is going to have an iPad screen asking if you'd like to tip 20, 25, or 30 percent on that meal you just bought. Though this can be lucrative for…

'I was very stunned at how entitled they felt': Diners insist on ordering 2 minutes before restaurant closes because they know "one of the owners"

If you can avoid it, please don't be the customers who show up to an establishment mere seconds before closing time. There are few words that waiters hate to hear more than, “Oh good, we made it just before closing time!” The waitstaff are expecting people to be out of the building by the time the end of their shift rolls around. That way, they can properly close the restaurant: there's a lot of cleaning, restocking, or counting money that has to happen before all of the staffers can head home…

'Manager wanted me to arrive 30 minutes early to get ready before clocking in': Manager demands worker arrive 30 minutes before their shift is set to start to begin working

Almost certainly, at some point, those working shift work, or in other jobs where timesheets need to be kept, have been told by some manager not to “bother” reporting time that they worked over their shift because it's “inconvenient” for them to report it. Sometimes, this comes in the form of being told that it needs to be at least 15 minutes to be reported and counted for anything, but that's not really true—at all. If anything, if their system can't handle menial minutes overtime, then they s…

Restaurant forces staff to compete for a chance to keep their jobs, letting customer reviews decide who keeps their job: 'Slacking off is not an option'

We thought the titular contests of the “Hunger Games” series were just some SciFi hoopla, yet here is this eerily similar real-world equivalent: competing for the privilege of working so that you can continue to support your own survival. In fact, “Hunger Games” is a fitting name given the fact that the arena for this real-world analog was in a restaurant. Everyone who has ever worked in the service industry or retail knows that customer reviews are a total grab bag, you can do nothing exceptio…

'This lady completely flipped from... happy to stone-faced': 60th birthday Karen writes petty note to server after restaurant doesn't give her free food

Just because your birthday is super important to you, doesn't mean everyone else has to celebrate it with you. Birthday celebrations are a lot of fun for kids. They grow so quickly that each year feels like a big change. They can invite their friends over to play, eat delicious treats, and open presents (hopefully the new toys they've been wanting). As adults, it seems like some people just don't care about birthdays as much. You aren't growing or changing that much from year to year, and it's…

'My turn to share a response to a Karen's review': Restaurant server gets back at irate customer who posts long online rant about their dining experience

Getting to reply to your most irritating customer would be a dream come true for many food service workers. Normally if a customer complains about the service, the worker has to fetch their manager and let them handle it, or they have to meet the complaints with a smile and just let the insults roll off their shoulders. However, complaining in an online review leaves some room for creativity, as this server, u/human_ken_doll, found out. This waiter shared a lengthy “review” from a diner who was…
