#serverproblems

So I was serving a kind of eccentric old dude who was waiting for someone else for awhile.  

He’s outside on the patio.  I go outside to take his order and notice he has his shoes and socks off.  Gross and annoying, for sure, can’t stand when people do it it but they ARE outside so I pretend not to notice.

Once he was joined by his friend a bit later, I went outside to check on how their food was doing.  I don’t exactly know how the conversation went, but the old man mentioned “my socks make great napkins to get everything!”

This man was legit wiping his mouth with his sock.

I said, “Sir, you know we have extra napkins on the table...?” and showed him.  He says “I know, but my sock does much better.”

To top it off, guess what I find when I go to bus the table when they leave?

1. Why do people go out to eat and then rush the server if they have something to go afterwards?? Like, you could have avoided this. Literally only YOU control what time you get to the restaurant. Your unpreparedness shouldn’t have to make ME rush your shit over anyone else’s.

“My son likes to play with water, can we get two more plastic cups?”

No

No

NO

N-O

I wonder what went through your mind. Did you think your buddy was gonna cover the whole tip for some reason? Which wouldn’t make sense since you SPLIT THE BILL EVENLY.

I know it wasn’t my service, seeing as you had everything you needed, and what you did need while I was busy my manager dropped off for you. I checked on you plenty of times.

Maybe it was because we didn’t have the cheese you wanted for your burger? Which isn’t my problem. But yeah I let you know that right away anyway.

Maybe you forgot? Which would be a pisspoor excuse.
