Restraunt diaries # 1

alright. so this was definatly the question of the day, and perhaps even the entire span that iv been working here.

"how come our food took so long!? we could have gotten faster service at MCDONALDS" * like he was trying to make a valid point*



*thinks to self* well.....wait a minute....do you realize what you actually just said?
of COURSE could have. which is why that restraunt chain is called ....fast... food.... restraunts.
anywhere that requires you to sit down. and have someone come and take your order does NOT fall under that description
if you come into a semi half nice restraunt ( i have to admit rickys is no " the keg" but hey. at least its not like. dalmeny family restraunt or thomas cook )
you should NOT expect your food to be out in less than 2 minutes. in fact, you probably shouldn't even want that.
i would be a little bit worried if i sat down and ordered in a restraunt ( especially on a very busy understaffed weekend ) and my food came out in fricken 2 minutes.

im sorry we dont have a giant blow torch to cook your food in 3 seconds at your whim. im sorry we dont have a 4000 pound microwave , a grill the size of a football feild to fit yours ( and 60 other peoples) orders on at once and 260 staff to cater to each individual person the second they think about wanting a drink refill

and oh yeah, your not the only one in the restraunt on a timed lunch break. take a look around you. every table is filled and theres people in the lobby waiting. chances are. they are on their lunch break too!

if you want fast food service. go to a fast food restraunt, alright?
dont waste everybodys time here and order your steak but then get it "to go" 15 minutes in because its "taking too long" because you know what? i just paid for you to sit there and harass me, because you didnt tip. you probably dont realize this but i have to tip out a certain amount to the kitchen every bill i have . so yes. in principle. i PAID for you to sit there to moan and complain at me.
and you took up a table that could have potentially been used for someone with far superior manners than you. even if they didnt tip me. i would have at least been treated like another human being

but i must apologize. im sorry i failed to realize you were the unquestiond overlord of the universe and whatever you want should be a priority, next time. let the hostess know so she can direct you back towards the parking lot.








post script. i don't actually hate my job. just certain people can really be a treat

thats customer service for you!
