How many people here have experienced this, from either the customer or the chef side?
The Real Reason Your Food Takes So Long

Just watched 30 seconds of the video and can assure everyone that it's not worth opening.
It's not funny, and coming from both FoH and BoH experience, it's entirely inaccurate and just plain stupid. That is all.
Leo Gutierrez
I feel for that guy on the date. Women take relationships so slowly.
Video was funny, but I haven't really experienced something like that.
Jeremiah Diaz
>entirely inaccurate
So all the chefs on here that proclaim to serve the shittiest, out-of-date slab of meat to people who ask for a well-done steak, well, those people don't actually exist, since your experience doesn't bear that out. Correct?
>hurr durr, if they want shoe leather, they can have shoe leather
Josiah Cook
Well, one: this is a humorous production.
Two: the cooks don't give a shit about credit card splits or people asking about Happy Hour.
This is lousy, at best.
Noah Long
This.
BoH could give 2 shits about how the customer treats the servers. If anything, some wormy servers will manipulate tickets and lie to BoH to ensure their customer is happy and more importantly--tipping them well.
Anthony Cruz
Thank you for saving my time!
Elijah Murphy
is the girl on the date the bitch from "Turn Down for What?"
Evan Diaz
I don't give a shit how customers treat servers.
If anything, your server will influence your order more than anything you could do.
>Megan's come back here asking about this plate twice
>This ticket's only eight minutes old
>I'm gonna sit on this, let it get to around 20, that'll fucking show her
Luke Rivera
Yes... kind of? Not as a chef or anything.
I used to work for a Dave & Buster's kind of place - I started in event sales & marketing, but we got bought out and I had to choose between learning how to be a floor/operations manager for half of the week or losing my job outright (this lasted all of two weeks before I ended up getting a promotion into corporate that I'd been hoping for, but that wasn't known to the location I worked in for the most part).
So I can run an arcade or whatever just fine, I worked in retail, no big. But here I am, my first time really in a kitchen besides figuring out event sales food costs.
>Awkwardly standing in the back, trying to figure out the health inspection checklist, not sure how to figure out if oil has been replaced, not sure what kind of storage is what
>I see one of the cooks throw a burger onto the grill, it's like 10 AM on a tuesday, there's one family sitting at a top
>Starts some pasta dish and some buffalo chicken kickers or whatever
>I come back, like, 30 minutes later, see the pasta sitting in the window with the other food
>The saddest remnant of a burger gets flipped onto a bun and moved onto a plate right before my eyes
>Pause to ask this guy "uh, is that the same burger you put on 30 minutes ago?"
>Stares at me, wide eyed
>"...Is that the burger?"
>Yes
>"I know this is my first day but isn't that probably overcooked?"
>Yes
>"Alright well can you cook them one up to order really quick? Seems like that other food has been sitting there for a while, what happened man?"
>Andrew asked me to burn this kid's burger because this kid thought his tattoo was a chick
>Confront Andrew about this, I've worked with him before, just some kinda fucked up rocker kid, seemed harmless though
>"Yeah man fuck that kid!"
>Immediately send him home
>Apologize to parents
>Comp $40 in free play, the value of their bill, they're gracious and the cook fixes the meal
We fired Andrew the next day. Cook got a writeup.
