Chopped Steak?

So, this group of guys came in and sat at my table. I asked what they wanted to drink and one guy said he wanted a bud light. He looked pretty young so I asked for his ID. He handed me his idea and it said he was born in 1994. I was like "dude, this says you were born in 1994." He says, "yeah, so what?" I reply "well, that would make you 18." He says, "damn, it was worth a try." I'm thinking damn, this dude is either really stupid or has some balls. Well, later on I found out he was just really stupid. We sell an item called Roadkill. It is a hamburger steak that has other things on it. In the description it says that it is a chopped, hamburger steak. So, the guy orders and says, " I want the roadkill. It's chopped steak right? Well, I don't want it chopped up, can I get it whole? I don't like my steak already chopped up." It took all I had not to laugh in his face.

Older Ladies

So, I get a table of older ladies and they ask me, "Honey, how much is your coffee?" I tell them that it is $2.19. One of them says to me, "Lord! That's expensive. That would've been your tip! So, I'm like great. Well, now I get to wait on a table that I know I am not going to get a tip from. Not only do I not get a tip from them, they sit at my table for almost three hours!

Angry Old Man

This blog is going to be about stories I have from working at a steakhouse. People have no idea what it is like to work at a restaurant unless they have actaully worked at one. I deal with rude people, funny people, stupid people, perverted people, and so on. I could write a book about all the things that happen there.

The first story I am going to tell is about an angry customer. The place that I work makes all of the servers line dance. When we dance, they turn the music up louder than it was. Well, one day they turned the music up to dance, and as I was walking by a table, an older man reached out and grabbed me by the arm and starting yelling at me. He told me to go and "turn that damn music down!" He grabbed my arm so hard it left marks. I was so mad. It took all I had not to punch him in the face. I told the managers about it and they went to talk to him about it. He then threw his coffee at my manager because he got so mad and told that mananger that he was a pompous ass. The manager then kicked him out. This is one of those times where it really sucks to have to hold your emotions in. I was fuming about it for hours.
