random stories and thoughts

These are just a few stories and thoughts that I have enter my mind every so often. I wonder:


Why is it that every Sunday, guests come from church to eat at the restaurant and they are the neediest people with the worst attitudes that we deal with all week. I thought that church was a place for praise, worship, and forgiveness. Evidently for our guests it is a place to be forgiven for being such an asshole the previous Sunday at the restaurant.

Why do you wear a white suit to a restaurant and get mad when you spill something red on it?

If you know that you can't afford to come out and eat, why do you still do it then complain about your meal so you can get it for free. I mean really, you say the food was bad but you ate the entire thing? What is that excuse, oh I was really hungry. What ever, So I end up paying for your meal and yet you still stiff the waiter. You can't even leave five bucks?

If managers are viewed as professionals, why do some dress like humpty dumpty. Tight spandex pants with toothpick legs with a big baggy shirt hanging down to cover the over sized rear. When things say one size fits all, they lie...some things are meant for one size fits all 13 year old girls.


A guest asks a server:
How do you fry your fish? I don't know, let me go ask a manager...

Hey, I need you to go talk to a table...OK, what's going on? Well I accidentally served the salad with the glove I used to mix it, still in the salad. WOW!! You couldn't see the big latex glove sticking out of the salad?

One server was having issues all night long, and kept coming to a certain manager for help. After about the tenth time, this manager is tired of dealing with it. So, I took their keys and card and decided to aggravate the server for a change. I go to find them and hold up the keys and card in the air and say, what did you do? The manager has just given me their keys and card and said I quit, I can't deal with them anymore and left. What did you do? I didn't do anything, I just messed up a couple of times. Great, now I have to call the gm and tell him that the closing manager just quit and I need them to come in to help me finish the shift. I didn't mean to, I didn't think they minded. Unfortunately, I had to stop the joke because the server got down on the floor and started to cry. I never knew that someone could be so gullible. The other manager came over and got their keys and said thanks for getting my keys from the bartender for me. The server got up, wiped their eyes and went on about their shift, of course to mess up again. But great news, they never went to that manager for about a week for help.

Where do you get your Atlantic salmon, is it from the ocean or the store?

You always know when someone is lying to you because it starts like this:
See, what had happened was....

Spoken by a former general manager of mine "How come the insurance company will pay for me to get Viagra, but they will not pay for my wife's birth control pills?"
