I don’t allow this shit anymore. We discovered that tables of 6 or more ancients would come in on SSI day, order waters and one garden/cobb/chef salad like this, then divide it up amongst themselves, leaving no tip and running the server’s ass off to get more plates/sides of dressing/etc. I also started charging for sides of sauces and dressings after the second.
Another thing that really annoys me is the fucker who orders a burger, no sides, with the toppings on the side, with a side of ranch, so they can (in the lispy-est voice you can imagine) “make a little salad”. My fault for making the menu ala-carte, but still…
Had this one woman come in every week, at LEAST 3 times to get a wrap. Literally the only thing on it was cheese. All the chicken, the dressing/sauce, lettuce, tomato, onions were ALL on the side each in their own little cups that couldn’t touch anything else or she would FLIP.
Thankfully, she was a pretty decent tipper to the server, between 20-40% depending on how polite, quick, and attentive you were.
Shit, as a Chef, I hate the server for even allowing this to happen. I would be seriously tempted to use the limpest lettuce I can find and top it with crispy stuff to hide.
eh, don’t hate the server. We don’t “let” it happen, managers do by making us cater to entitled, over the top guests. And a guest so picky they want “everything on the side”, is def gonna send back limp salad, so that’s just creating more work for all of us.
I want two things: a shift drink and your email address!
Someday, if I ever get my act together, I might send out a weekly newsletter about the wonderful goings on of the restaurant industry. Or maybe I won't.
