The kiss of Death....
A regular who tips a lot gives me her number. I have no interest in sleeping with her. I have a girlfriend. Once she realizes either, she's never coming back.
Fuck. #503 — Comments (2) — 2/7/2011 at 11:13 AM — Bar — Cheers to that! (3) — No one cares. (2) -
I'm so sick of chefs taking all the credit for good press and blaming their staff when something goes wrong.
A restaurant where a friend of mine is the sous chef recently received a horrible review on Yelp. Apparently, the manager and the exec chef blamed the diner's poor experience on the exec chef being "away for vacation" (he's really just never around), and that got published too. This isn't the first time he's done this, and it seriously undermines all the hours and hard work my friend puts in to keep that kitchen under control when the chef is away gallavanting about.
Remember the folks who helped put you on the map. Don't kick them when they're down. Especially not on Yelp, ya cheap bastard. #502 — Comments (4) — 2/1/2011 at 2:04 PM — Misc — Cheers to that!

Table of 4 with 2 people sitting at it, reservation only restaurant, second couple is late.
Server: Hi how are you all this evening? Could I start you off with some of our water? We have bottled pelligrino and evian for 6$ a bottle or regular iced water.
Them: Um...we have other people coming...
Server: But do you want to start with water...?
**yes we actually are completely retarded and didnt realize that your reserved table with 2 other settings at it was waiting for other people, but you dont need any water right now anyway. I hope you get dehydrated.** #498 — Comments (0) — 1/17/2011 at 2:00 AM — Server — Cheers to that! (4) — No one cares. (3) -
