Skwirl posted:What restaurants don't auto-grat on large tables? I've never worked at one that didn't and I've never eaten in one with 6 or more people that didn't. I worked at one restaurant where the tips were so lovely that we changed our policy from auto gratuity with 6 or more, to auto gratuity with 5 or more. Mine has auto-grat as an option, but doing so is entirely up to the discretion of the the server. 90% of them don't for whatever reason. I don't understand it but I'm just a lowly busser/barback so what do I know.  I mean it still hurts me re: tip outs, but not as directly as the servers themselves.Also god dammit anime convention people who swarmed us for all of Labor Day weekend in addition to the normal Labor Day crowds, you were doing so well until today. 5 dollar tip on a 150 dollar check, gently caress everyone at that table. I bought that poor girl a drink after we were cut for that, what a lousy table that was.

No guys, I totally wanted to re-arrange the back half of my restaurant for cocktail-style mingling and stay two hours longer than usual only to have 8 of the 40 you had on the books show up. Thats totally great.

Nope! But I'm just a busser so I do what I'm told and just bitch about it with the equally pissed off servers after the fact. They all had maybe $20 checks each too. What a shitshow that was.

AA is for Quitters posted:Same. Apparently NYE is not as bad as the last three weeks, because while we do 800 or so it's almost all two tops, with occasional 3-4 tops for families with kids. We're pretty much the polar opposite. The last few weeks weren't bad barring larger holiday parties every now and then, Wednesday was pretty hellish, and NYE is one of our biggest nights outside St. Patties. It's great money but I'll sleep like the dead afterwards.

HogX posted:What shoes do you guys wear? I work in a dog grooming salon as a bather, and I'm on my feet 8 hours a day 5 days a week, gotta move from tub to table to kennels, and pick up dogs of all sizes. I used to go with new balance, but I wear 'em out in about 2 months now and I've been getting knee pain with 'em. I figure you guys would probably be able to give me some good brands to check out. I use these and I love them, throw a good insole in them and they're wonderful. I usually go through a pair in 6-8 months.

The proper name is The Reason I Drink. Many things have that name. Since we're a slightly fancier sports bar we're not doing anything special, maybe putting some different beers on tap and some last-minute special cooked up by our KM. We're usually not amazingly busy for it but we'll get a few of our regular couples in and maybe some parents with their kids earlier in the night.

Who the gently caress thinks its a good idea to bring 20 screaming ten year olds to a restaurant on Valentine's Day. We weren't super busy when it happened but gently caress me. Crayons and menus and spills everywhere and the parents just ignored the little shits. I want to find whoever made that reservation and roundhouse kick them in the head.

Thanks Hilton down the road for sending an entire huge-rear end convention specifically to us when you closed your bar for the night. Nah don't give us a heads up or anything it's not like it was 11 and we'd already sent 80% of the staff home we're fine. We love cutting off half the people who walk through the door and serving a single drink to the other half.

bentacos posted:So they can bitch about the table not being clean. This. It's always this. Even if I'm sprinting out there with a towel to wipe it down they love to give the stinkeye and ask for it to be cleaned. Like no dude I'm gonna engage in sone locker room mischief with you I'm really good at snapping this thing.

Chef De Cuisinart posted:I like sours though. Sours are great but they don't move for poo poo because good sours are hard to find. Most of the time they taste like piss vinegar. It's the gose problem, a good gose is sublime but you get asshats that just dump a ton of salt into there and now you have a lovely saltbeer. That's a pretty terrible spread though. Three taps is really hard to cover all your bases with, but going into spring I'd do a hoppy handle (an IPA, a pale, maybe an IRA), a blonde/lager/pils handle, and keep the third a wildcard to throw a dark or saison or something on.

Shabadu posted:Anderson Valley Gose should be ubiquitous and nation wide. Almost every major regional brewery is doing a Gose or Berliner Weiss these days, could give better recommendations based on where you are. God yea. The Kimmie, The Yink, and The Holy Gose is the full name. They have a blood orange one too thats the tops. Beyond that find a good local brewery that does sours. If you ever get to Portland go to Cascade Brewing, its seriously some of the best beer I've ever had and I get down there as often as I can. All small batch limited run sours, and their house-made pickles are the poo poo.

For more Northwest goodness, I've got a bottle of Baird & DeWar farmhouse waiting for a special occasion to crack it open. Mazama has a great Cherry Blossom. Ethereal does some good tart meads like Grumpy Troll.

Watched the first two seconds to see if it was what I thought it was and instantly heard the scream in my head. I'm so glad our BoH is smart about keeping poo poo clean and has been accident-free. Well... except for the one guy who totally wasn't doing knife tricks you guys and mysteriously sliced his arm open in the dishpit one day. But he was a stupid teenager and every restaurant has one of those.
