If you're not setting the hours just suck it up faggot. If you are, politely tell them the kitchen is closed. I will never understand the people who bitch about this, having worked in a real restaurant for years, this happened regularly and it's just part of the territory. My girlfriend would complain about this constantly even though she only worked at an ice cream shop. Had to stop myself from rolling my eyes everytime she bitched about having to work 10 extra minutes or reclean something. Get the fuck over it or find a new job nigger, you already know most customers are breathing, walking, trash people.

>not telling them kitchen is closed

I think restaurants should have a closing time and a kitchen closing/ordering time. That way people know when to not show up and order last second, but if they do it at that point then theres still time to work on it.

I recognize that gay blowjob!

So close at 7:30 if you don't like it faggot

Thank you!
We serve until XX:XX.
The only wiggle room is on the side of later.
Close at 10 PM? 9:50 is an acceptable time to put an order in. 10 is a bit of a push, but still totally acceptable (as much as you want to bitch about it).

I'll tell you what's going through my mind.
>I'm tired.

>I'm tired.
>Fuck it, a 5th of vodka and then I'm ordering food online.
>They close in 5 minutes?
>Are they still taking orders?
>Ok, I guess I'll actually tip to ease my conscience.
>Ok, I've had 2 drinks and it's been 45 minutes, where is it?
>Guess I'll call.
>Ok, it's coming.
>Asshole is taking forever, maybe I shouldn't tip as much next time.
>Finally the food is here, I hope it's hot.
>He probably spit in it, oh well, fuck'em.

>a drunkard lazy bastard is the type of person to order at the last minute
yeah thanks for proving OP right that only mongoloids pull this shit

get over it dude, you don't close at eight, you just stop accepting new customers

I'll have you know I'm not a mongoloid. I'm a European blend who works a stressful office job. If you don't want to take orders at the last minute do like GrubHub and stop taking orders a half hour before you close.

Just tell them you're closed or all your food is put away for the night. What really gets me is the people who try to get in an HOUR after we're closed even though the hours are posted right in front of them and the doors are fucking locked.

>work taco bell
>close at 2:30am
>lights are off sign is dark
>not answering people at order screen
>they STILL come up and knock at the window and get mad when we tell them we're closed
>couple times guys have tried to trade weed for food

kys you fucking retarded mongoloid scum.

I want that shopped in the darkest part of every picture in the world

They're probably housewives who have never worked a day in their lives or upper class people who have never worked a shitty part-time job. Anyone who works at a restaurant knows that 5 minutes before closing is too late.

>go to restaurant that's closing because you don't memorize their hours
>"oh sorry i didn't realize you were closing. i'll come back another day"
>"oh no it's fine, no problem. please have a seat. what would you like?"

>"no nonono nononononono please have a seat"
>"ok thanks"
>proceed to have the worst, snarkiest rushed meal of my life
>"you want coffeeeee???? it takes like a day to brew coffeeee and then i'll have to clean the machine because WE'RE CLOSING. sheesh"

why fucking do this to both of us??

You should be happy at the chance to earn some more money Wagie

>"Don't make me assume my ultimate form!"

kek, meth is a hell of a drug

It just seems like a shitty thing to do to me.
I don't go inside a supermarket a minute before they close and take half an hour to shop either.
I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing I was keeping those people. Much rather just go elsewhere.

You get paid to cook you fuckin pussy. Cook the order and close up. It's your job to cook and serve your customers. If you don't like it, get another job. How the fuck do you think the restaurant pays it's bills?? Cooks are so fuckin stupid, they get mad when they're required to do the one job that's in their job title. You wouldn't last in my restaurant. The first time you pitched a little fit because you have to cook an order, would be your last time.

Organize the other employees and demand that he change the hours to close at 7:00 instead of 8:00 or you'll strike. That way when someone comes in at 6:59 you'll be happy to serve them.

I agree with you to a point...in my kitchen we all bitch but have a disgruntled acceptance of the situation....i mean c'mon it sucks having to reclean shit. Even you can admit that

This. Honestly once you accept most people are absolute garbage you'll no longer be disappointed by shit.

More than late comers I kinda hate early comers since I work at a bakery. Fuck you coming an hour before we're even open and bitching there's not 2 dozen donuts ready and frosted for your fatass when you didn't even preorder shit.

>every over-employed person ever

Seriously, quit. Since no one has the decency to fire you.

Absolute true story time, Veeky Forums

Every single day.

And black people always want refunds right as we finish the order. "you took too damn long"

So? Serve them. That's what you're there for. If you're closing down before you're actually closed you're taking a gamble, every time.

>if you're closing down before you're actually closed you're taking a gamble, every time

That's literally everything you do in a restaurant, dum dum. Doesn't mean that there aren't trends.

And everyone starts closing down the kitchen early if it isn't busy. Are you retarded?

Top kek, worth it. Sub shops are a diamond dozen and if the owner was pals with a dude like that I would've quit as soon as I found a better job.

People are inconsiderate assholes who don't value other people's time as much as their own, more at 8

Hope that's real

I worked at a few subways and drank on the job once. This old bitchy woman started whining and I cussed her out. Coworkers called the manager and manager called the police. I got taken ro jail for public intox

> comes in 5 minutes before closing
> considers tipping to be a morally good thing like charity
> complains about his food taking a long time 5 minutes BEFORE CLOSING.

The cooks and waiters (who are tired just like you are) were probably still doing their closing up shit. Prepped food was most likely already dumped and I get the feeling you asked for one of the more complicated dishes.

You're tipping the fucking delivery service, retard, not the kitchen/restaurant. They already take commission, and it's most likely them that's taking 45 minutes, not the restaurant.

I just spit on their food. As I do with every regular who doesn't tip at least 15%. People are assholes, that shouldn't suprise you, so don't be a beta and put up with their shit with no resistance. Maybe they'll learn some basic fucking etiquette this way.

>"spit" not "cum"
>Only 15% and not something crazy like 25 or 30%
>"People" not "White people"

Weak.

>a diamond dozen

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

>And black people always want refunds right as we finish the order. "you took too damn long"

Fuck me don't even get started on this. Also people make fake complaints just to get free meals.

There's entire forums dedicated to this stuff. Disgusting.

Fuckin A

If you don't want people to come in at 7:59 you shouldn't be open at 7:59. The purpose of publishing your hours is so that customers know when you'll serve them, if customers have to guess what they /really/ mean then you might as well say "we close at 8ish". If you need 30 minutes to clean up and close the kitchen, you should close at 7:30. If you want it to be clear that you'll kick everyone out at 8pm, but won't accept orders after 7:30pm, then write "doors close at 8pm, no new customers after 7:30pm".

It's your job to communicate clearly, not the customer's job to magically intuit what your schedule is.

I do get both sides of the argument here. As a customer I try not to do it but occasionally will go into a restaurant not long before closing, usually when it's someplace I don't frequent and was mistaken about the hours.
As a delivery driver for a local pizza place in the past, it sucked. We had a couple regulars who would consistently order pan pizzas, which take twice as long to bake, within the last 5 minutes we were open. Didn't like it very much.

Dominoes' has an hour-before-closing restriction on delivery pizzas. I hated it as a customer but it I would love it as a delivery boy. An hour is still too long though. 30 minutes is a good amount of leeway.

>>got fired two days later
If you served a customer the shit he took on my restroom floor, I'd promote you.

>Also people make fake complaints just to get free meals.

This.

The black people who have cried racism and literally brought up slavery just to get some free fries and a soda at my stand are the most shameless, pathetic losers I've ever met in my life.

Are you literally going to try to bring up slavery and fake some tears just so you can get a fucking free soda?!?!?!?

Fucking zero sense of shame...

This. I work in food service and even I agree. At 8:30 you're not getting served because I'm very clear about the rules. If it's 8:29 that's technically fair game.

I think the common wording is "kitchen closes at 7:30pm, doors close at 8pm".

Don't close your kitchen before you're closed and you won't have to re clean things. Your kitchen is open until a certain time. You can clean plenty of items and stage your closing tasks without closing down your kitchen. My kitchen is fully operational until we are done serving. Get your cooks out of the habit of trying to have your kitchen closed before you're actually closed and no one should get butt hurt about anything.

Veeky Forums - Where a discussion of ordering food right before closing devolves into who's the bigger mongoloid.

welcome to Veeky Forums, enjoy your stay

faggot

toppest of fucking keks

Absolute madman

It's upon the restaurant to either post their ACTUAL times they're willing to take orders (which won't happen, it makes it seem more convenient to be open longer hours) , or for them to figure out a way to not start cleaning shit before you're actually closed. I get that you're closed at 10PM and cleaning will keep you there until midnight, so you want to get a head start, but blame your god damn owner/manager/employer for the shitty practices and putting the customer first. These people only come in because the numbers on the door say they can.

It's on the restaurant, yeah. That doesn't make it an invalid point of common decency within the industry.

Some websites allow you to choose how much of the tip goes to the restaurant and what goes to the delivery service. Bitesquad is a good example.

I didn't know an obviously frozen hamburger patty, veggies that are most likely in the refrigerator left over from earlier that day or the day before and frozen french fries that every "Italian/American" restaurant run by middle easterner has these days were gourmet food that required a lot of prep.

Does it have a free continental breakfast that closes at 10am? 'Cuz I'd like to show up at 9:58am and ask why they don't have any more biscuits and gravy then whine until they make more.

>bon app the teeth

Yeah as a cook its mainly the waitresses who bitch about this shit since once they order and I can cook it while closing and cleaning and leave while that table sits there making the waitress have to stay late. Now when we closed the kitchen and a waitress lets people in because they are dumb as fuck and then start an argument bitching at us when we told them everything is off and closed... then I'm mad at the waitress. You can still do quite a bit of closing while cooking for a table that comes in right at the end and its not really at all a big deal. Everything is either off or its on and I can still put away everything I'm not using on their meal.

Had really fucking high potheads who all had dreads and smelled like shit come in and order, then argue with a waiter they ordered something else then post a poor yelp review. Who the fuck would believe a yelp review that says that they received 6 wrong dishes and a wrong appetizer and drinks?

>boy I'm hungry

are you canadian?

>local burger joint closes at 10
>walk in at 9:59
>REV UP THOSE FRYERS CUZ I SURE AM HUNGRY FOR ONE-

>go to breakfast joint
>they have a waitress i haven't seen there before
>after she takes our order she walks over to one of the veteran employees and asks how she should call the order out to the cooks
>few mins later, comes back with the food
>two things are missing, she's super apologetic, fixes one of them within a minute
>i don't really care about it and just want her to stop saying "sorry"
>she comes back 8 minutes later with the other thing still apologizing
>"it's fine, i can tell you're new here so don't worry about it"

she laughed but i feel like that could've been taken the wrong way, what's a better thing to say in that instance?

That sounded fine to me. The worst thing you could have done is bitched her out.

I would have said "stop apologizing, I know you're new but you'll get it together soon enough as long as you have some confidence."

Hahaha we used to fuck with anyone's food that pulled that shit. Rub the meat in our ass cracks and throw the meat on the filthy slimy ground after a busy night.

Anyone who does enters a lower class restuarant several minutes before closing and expects apps, dinner, desert should be prepared to also consume more than just food. :^)

A U T I S M

What the fuck is wrong with you?

It's called being a linecook ya dink!

>having this little integrity
You're going places in life

Why do people who work shitty jobs get so mad about things that are an everyday annoyance about that job? That's why you're getting paid. If it were fun and you liked it, you wouldn't get any money to do it. Just get a different job, if you hate it that much.

Inflated sense of self-worth will do that to you

i'm cringing. you would never say this out loud to another human being. if you would, you're the problem, not them

this times a thousand.

I can't count the amount of times I've had friends who work in retail or food service that complain about customers who come in "right before close"

motherfucker, if someone tries to come in once the store is closed, then you can complain. but there's a reason they post the hours of operation outside of your business

How is this new information to you simpleton? These are facts of the dining experience. Walk into a restaurant several minutes before it closes and order a full meal and your food WILL be fucked with.

Cooks are alcoholics and drug users anxious to get the fuck out of that kitchen.

You should be thanking me for shedding light on this fact of dining.

>thank me for being subhuman

i didn't expect to be this disappointed, at least not on Veeky Forums.

>Cooks are alcoholics and drug users anxious to get the fuck out of that kitchen.
A lot of them are mexicans and other forms of human trash who would be just as happy working at any other minimum wage job. This is like saying that it's normal for a cashier at Walmart to spit on your groceries if you're shopping there a few minutes after the posted hours of operation lol

You're cringing because you don't understand social interaction

I do. I know that life is not a dating sim. No one wants unsolicited life advice from some fuckface trying to fill his gullet with discount shrimp poppers.

False. Cooks have to wait for the selfish diners to eat their meal. The cashier transaction is often a minute or so.

Also, the customers dining don't see us spit, rub, throw their meat but the customer would be looking at the cashier in the eyeballs. You have thought of a very poor example.

When you've been in the food service business as long as I have been you'd understand. I've been waiting tables at my parent's restaurant since I was 12. I'm 30 now and own the restaurant. So kindly take a little advice from me and shut the fuck up about what you don't know.

People in the food industry are lazy and stupid, they can't get a better job than this. That's why they bitch so much about having to work. 95% of them would be fired at a real job within a month.

Automation in the food industry can't come soon enough. Fuck these self entitled cunts.

>order 2hrs before closing on a sunday
>get my order 2,5h later
>guy forgot something, tells me it is in the car
>goes back to the car
>just hear how he starts the engine and drives
T-thanks.

This made me laugh harder than the poop story. That's pretty great and also exactly what I expect from a Sandwich Artist.
