Having worked at restaurants before, I can say that it takes nothing for grillman to yell at a server. The order can be correct, come at the correct time, prepared correctly, but what grillman came for in the first place was to kick down for the pleasure of kicking down.

to kick down for the pleasure of kicking down.

The modern corporate restaurant experience has been completely designed around grillman desire to look down and kick down on people

1984 but if it was about working in a restaurant

I'd be too awkward to say anything then ask for some peas to feed to the rats then they all become my friends and then one of the rats goes to the server and says "sorry I think they ordered an omelette"

please never be too awkward to ask for help when it's actually needed

if you're not an asshole about it no decent person will hold it against you

Usually i just do this face bottom-speak until whoever is with me asks for me

top-use-words: You're too timid to ask the waiter again, aren't you?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago

I can't imagine ever yelling at a server. It's the most ridiculous thing to do. Hopefully that may die out with boomers. Especially since so many people now have to be underemployed in the service industry if they're lucky

Ordering the vegan rat bowl to be polite

It's just seitan with par-cooked spaghetti sticking out of it.

When I was at this bourgie restaurant in seattle I ordered breakfast and they put sausage in my eggs on accident, I ended up getting comped the whole meal and my bloody mary and still ate it anyway. Still left a cash tip for the server though.

I want to go to a rat cafe

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 23 points 4 months ago

I think there was a movie about that once.

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They exist. Like cat cafes

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

There's no rats there.

I fucking hate servers, man. I fucking hate dining out literally because of servers. I feel I have to do their fucking job, placate them, and teach them hospitality the entire time just so they won’t treat me like shit. And yet every time I’m compelled to leave them a 20% tip.

I would rather fetch my own food and glass of water than have to deal with them. For every rude customer these people have to deal with, there’s 10 others like in the pic who just paid to have them dump their daily traumas on them

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think you're wildly underestimating the amount of assholes servers deal with. Especially women.

Just tip the 20%, and be mad they aren't paid a fair wage. Getting mad about rude servers is really reactionary.

Obviously tipping is evil, but remember refusing to tip is not praxis citations-needed

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

It’s praxis to pay someone to be racist, got it.

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And that came out of left field. What the hell?

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Literally the entire basis behind my complaints about servers

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Racism is not the same as trauma dumping. Obviously if someone is blatantly racist or sexist you can withhold your tip. But complaining about having to tip and tying that to the _qualty of service _ is the issue here.

Complain about the low wages they're paid (in many states submininum), but getting mad about tipping in this way is a bad look, especially when your post doesn't mention anything beyond the pale. Also, it doesn't change that servers should pool tips, tip out to back of house, and unionize. Fundamentally though, we can't withhold tips systematically to achieve increased wages. So until wages are raised and tipping is banned, you need to tip.

Yeah, that guilt tripping won’t work on me, I always tip. If I were to withhold tips every time I was being given bad service because of my race, I would never tip.

I too, fucking hate servers. You think everything is fine and then boom: mystery networking error.

[–] TheDeed@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

I feel you, racist servers usually treat me like shit because they assume I won't tip.
