And the unlimited fries means you can always get your money's worth. If you don't have a real cool local burger joint, seriously Red Robin is an acceptable source of burgers. (Bleu ribbon supremacy.)

Some farmers were no-poo poo murdered by drug dealers for their lime crops in 2014. A bad time. In other news, I have lime trees now in my patio. NEVER AGAIN.

One of our bussers ordered Jimmy Johns and I guess the delivery guy and him where friends or something so he thought we would just let him roll through our kitchen. When chef told him "I don't have time for your crap" and then closed the door on him, he decided to make an open table account and wrote how mean and unprofessional we where. Some person complained for like 3 paragraphs about things that we do not actually have at the restaurant. I actually love reading bad reviews about where I work, they are a trip. "MY APPETIZER CAME OUT BEFORE MY SALAD" "MY COFFEE/PORT/WHATEVER CAME BEFORE MY DESSERT" "I ORDERED BONE IN 16oz FILET MW, TOOK 30 MINUTES SMH" "OUR WAITER ASKED IF WE WANTED OUR MANHATTAN UP OR ON THE ROCKS, WHAT DO YOU THINK IDIOT?"

My favorite negative review from one place I used to manage had only positive things to say about the food, middling things to say about the (admittedly weak at the time) service, but still left us 1 star. Why? "Parking lot wasn't well lit enough"

I'd post some of our more amusing reviews but goons and all that. I will say that company policy suggests that 95% of all guests are honest, well-meaning people. I'm not sure if they tripled the original number or got the digits backwards. Vorenus fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jul 16, 2015 |

At a place I used to work some lady left a review on yelp calling the tomato bacon jam we made for our green tomato blt "too try-hard". What the gently caress does that even mean? Would you prefer we tried less? Like here our special tonight is a grilled cheese on bread our d-washer dumpster dived from behind a Panera, poorly melted kraft singles, and leftover fries from the burger place down the street.

Alright, a completely different topic! So today our bartender's mom came in about half an hour into the shift to tell her that she might have pancreatic cancer. The bartender was understandably distressed and was permitted to go for a walk with her mom for a bit, leaving me pretty much handling literally the entire front of house. The Boss expressed to me a bit of frustration, along the lines of "why couldn't she wait until she got home" or whatever, to which I just said "this has gotta be pretty jarring, I think practical thought is probably a bit out of reach" or something like that. I know we've got a handful of management types in here, what kind of handling would you have given that kind of situation? Obviously you can't ban staff family from coming into the restaurant, but equally obviously if we were a bigger operation doing like we did would be as close to literally shooting ourselves in the feet as we could get and still stay figurative.

Simply put: if my mom or dad came to me and said they had pancreatic cancer and I wasn't allowed to leave to talk about it, I'd quit on the spot. No questions asked. If your operation is so short staffed that you can't handle someone taking off time for an emergency like that, then you've got bigger problems. Staff are still people and you have to respect that. Pancreatic cancer is effectively a death sentence right now, and expecting anyone to ignore that for work when they're informed is unreasonable.

Yeah, the boss is being a complete poo poo head, pancreatic cancer is basically "You are going to die, slowly and in excruciating pain, in the last weeks you will look forward to your own death." I'd know, my grandmother died of it and I got to watch her beg my father(her son) to make the doctors kill her, but they couldn't, and they could not give her enough drugs to knock her out or anything either because it would have endangered her life. Where's the loving bitter laughter smiley?

No, shooting yourself in the foot would be giving employee's poo poo over for something like that. Employees are going to have family issues pop up unexpectedly. If your store can't handle given employees the time to deal with that sort of stuff then you're probably not going to be able to keep them around for long anyway.

Do you not have a big enough industry community in the area that you can make a few calls/texts and pick up someone that is looking to work a shift wherever for cash? Has The Boss burned bridges with potential fill-ins by being a prick? Regardless of the size of your local labor pool your Boss is a prick. v v

For what it's worth I don't actually believe the boss would have handled it differently in any situation, I think he was just somewhat frustrated. It's an old (40+) restaurant that he's basically bringing back from the brink. I also suspect she just told him "cancer scare" instead of "pancreatic cancer scare" just based on what else I've seen of how she works. But yeah, okay, that's comforting. We -are- a small operation and by the time an "official" bartender came in she would have been back from her walk. I'm covering her waiting shift tomorrow so she can go with her mom to an MRI to find out if its actually pancreatic cancer or what. We're such a weird, niche operation I was just wondering how normal restaurants would handle this kind of thing, since it never happened while I was working at regular restaurants.
