Soylent Pudding posted:AITA I didn't wait for my wife to finish eating My mother in law takes over an hour to eat. If she’s at home her meal will bump up against snack time which will bump up against her next meal. At restaurants she is frankly embarrassing to eat with and if she gets a box she makes sure to pack every scrap of food and every drop of sauce. Before her most recent stay in the hospital my father in law would often take a separate car so he could leave the restaurant while she was still eating. She is also slow at everything else she does in life though.

therobit posted:I actually went and read the Reddit thread last night. The OP was deleted along with a bunch of the OP’s posts, but a bunch of the posts they made regarding the pump were still there. Looks like someone who has type 1 diabetes and also had a pump told them they needed to call Medtronic because at 2 weeks the pump would still be under warranty. Apparently the OP did that and they were going to be sent a new one. That's good. The turnaround is generally overnight too. Trust me, it loving sucks having your immediate health and possibly life tied to a fragile little box you have to carry around with you.

I once went to a pizza restaurant in Phoenix that was so drat determined to bring your pizza when they wanted to that they served them on little loving stands so they had like a second story to your table to just fill up with stuff. Was good pizza but the service was the really extreme kind of pushy. I think they asked if we wanted dessert when none of us were even halfway finished with our pizza and we had the check probably 30 minutes after we had been seated at around 7:30.

AITA for "stealing" my daughter's bike to teach her a lesson?quote:My daughter has her own car. She regularly takes her bike to the lake to ride on the trail. The problem is she will leave her bike in the car even between trips to the lake. I've told her not to because someone is going to steal it if she leaves it in her car overnight but she won't listen. So yesterday morning when she was still sleeping I took her keys and took her bike out of her trunk and hid it in the shed. She wakes up to go for a bike ride and freaks out because her trunk is open and her bike is missing. I told her this was going to happen so she shouldn't act surprised. Only when she started to call the police did I tell her what really happened. She started crying and ran to her room. My wife thinks I was wrong but I think I was just teaching her a lesson. Aita?

This one is uproariously funny. It's also indicative of the uphill climb men have in these reddit posts given all the labor to stay neutral. I'd adore a relationship advice post that was like "I asked my fertile wife if we could find a surrogate that's a little less dumb and flabby".quote:My [33m] wife and I [32f] have been having fertility problems, now my wife is telling me we should get a sperm donor so we can have a family and so our kids will be smarter/athletic, I told her, her eggs aren't top shelf either.

Sisal Two-Step posted:Got married after six months of dating? my guess is she has just really, really wanted a baby, but at the same time ties having a baby closely to being married and can't imagine doing one without the other. Thus the very short engagement period and pretty clear communication that she wants to have a baby immediately after getting married. So, she's gotten married, now she wants her baby. The husband's opinion or genes don't apparently interest her. Also, that relationship is walking dead. Even if OP hadn't fired back with his own insults, a relationship is not gonna come back from what she said and implied. Kenshin fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Feb 7, 2022 |

Hello all. I don't know what time it is where you are, but as the song goes, it's midnight somewhere. And we all know what that means, don't we? It's time to buy furniture AITA for not running an errand for my girlfriend at midnight quote:My girlfriend (26F) and I (24M) just moved in to a new apartment together last week after dating for over two years. She recently decided to sell her car because it didn’t run well and since I have a car she thought she wouldn’t need it now that we live together, and she never bought a new one. Because of that I have been driving her to and from work every day and bringing her places she needs to go and I don’t mind too much because it’s normally not much of an inconvenience. She also works overnights and she really enjoys looking for furniture and shopping online for apartment things during her lunch break since our apartment is pretty much empty. Last night I woke up to use the bathroom just after midnight and I had a text from her 5 minutes ago saying something was urgent. I called her and she says she just found a nice table on Facebook marketplace and she needed me to go pick it up. I looked up the address and it was a 25 minute drive. I told her I was in bed but she just demanded I get up and go get it before it is sold to someone else. I tried to tell her she’s not gonna sell it right now since it’s the middle of the night and I’ll get it first thing in the morning but she insisted I go right now.

In my experience in the restaurant industry, when a table orders an appetizer and entree at the same time but wants their appetizer first, lazy servers will put both in at the same time and put a note on the ticket like "appetizers first". The cooks generally ignore this, because their job is to make the food and get it out as efficiently as possible, which means first-in first-out. It's unfair to ask them to skip around in the queue and try to correctly time the courses for a table, that's the server job. Or sometimes the appetizer is ready first but by the time someone gets around to taking it to the table, everything else is ready too, and once the food is ready, it's got to be taken to the table both because that's when it's at it's best, and because you can't have one table's food sitting there blocking every other table's food from coming out. If you're the customer and it's that important to you, you just have to order your appetizers first, or there's a good chance you'll wind up in the OP's position where you don't really have any good options.

When I was a waiter our system let you put the whole order in at once but only send the entrees (appies) to the kitchen. When you'd noticed that the table was nearly finished with them, you'd put in the request for the mains (entrees) and they'd usually be ready by the time you'd finished clearing the table of the first round of dishes, etc. This was over ten years ago, so you'd think that things have only gotten better since then.

It's 2022. Any reasonable POS system (and you know that lovely chains like the cheesecake factor are running entirely on electronic POS systems) can be set to fire the entrees after the apps are up (the runner or the kitchen punches things out as they are done and the system fires the rest of the order, or the server releases the rest of the order - depends on how the place is run). So either this exists and the server(s) aren't using the POS correctly, or it doesn't exist (unlikely at a chain place). I've had the unfortunate experience of working on several of these systems, and it's really appropriate that "Point Of Sale" abbreviates as something more appropriate. But this is basic, basic functionality that has been around for decades in all of the major systems. You say you have experience in the restaurant industry. Is this not something you have seen? What kind of places/systems did you have to deal with? Even freaking Aloha can do this, and that's easily the jankiest mainstream one I've come across.

Every POS I have used has an option to ring in an order and put it on hold, so you can just have it already in the system and just fire them to the line once apps hit the table. It’s honestly just the server being lazy imo. Mitigating factor - if there’s a big table that just sat down you want to try to get your entrees fired before them, or they’re gonna finish their apps and be waiting around for the next course pissed, while the kitchen is fully focused on the 20-tops entrees. Also sometime you ring in entrees right as the apps hit the table and your normally slow entree cooks set speed records, but that doesn’t sound like the case here.

This is a tangent, but how did us americans adopt using "entreé" as the word for main course, when everyone else uses it for what we call the appetizer?

Yeah that's still around, but you have to actually use it (correctly) in order for it to be effective, and not everybody does. Edit: Motronic posted:It's 2022.

Of course I've seen systems like this, but the problem is that not everybody uses it correctly. I've never worked at a chain and can't speak for the server in the OP, but in my experience the good servers take full advantage of the POS to make their jobs as easy as possible, and the more mediocre ones don't. Sometimes they're scared of computers (yes really) and don't want to do any more than is absolutely necessary. Sometimes they're scared they'll forget to send the second part (again) so they just do it all at once. Sometimes they just don't care that much and want to turn the table quickly and are counting on societal pressure to get a decent tip regardless.

A quick poking around didn't turn up anything definitive, but it appears that in grandiose multi-course meals appetizers were the starter and an entree used to be the dish just before the main course. As things shrank the nomenclature changed depending on whether you focused on "dish after the appetizers" or "dish before the main course."

AITA for refusing to pay my parents rent money?quote:I (18f) turned 18 about a month ago. The day after my birthday my parents sat me down and told me they want me to pay rent while I lived at home. I was a little confused, I have three older siblings and the deal for them was that they could live at home for free while they were studying, even when they were several years older than I am.
