We've had waves of people getting it my restaurant, but fortunately it's usually three or four people at a time. We're a big restaurant (usually run with 12-18 servers a night) so omicron has been tough but not disabling. Wearing a mask for 8-10 hours again sucks though.

Skwirl posted:It's hilarious to me that the only person who got fired over this is the one who came up with it. I've long thought "assistant manager" is easily the worst job in a restaurant, especially if it's part of a chain or a restaurant group, so the only people who willingly do it are incredibly dumb people who get off on power tripping over people. I would never do it because I know it's mostly a money pit, but I understand why people want to own restaurants, and I understand even wanting to be the manager of a restaurant, because you still have a certain amount of control of things, assistant manager though, the only control you have is enforcing other people's rules and coming up with insane things like requiring employees to get five positive reviews that mention them by name every month. Our only assistant manager mainly handles inventory, so he's mostly annoyed when we break dishes. The assistant GM was the former head of HR and is very amenable. Thankfully our GM doesn't suck as much as his predecessor. This kind of power-tripping is wild. Edit: also requiring every FOH staff member to get mentioned by name five times a month is absolutely insane. I have a sort-of uncommon name and virtually never get mentioned by name even in the rare instances my tables take the time to write a review. I can't imagine how hosts would manage to get their name mentioned that much.

BiggerBoat posted:Anybody ever serve or wait on anybody famous? We get lots of pro sports players at my place (pricey steakhouse); some of the more recent notables have been Steph Curry and Kareem Abdul Jabar. We've also had LL Cool J, Usher and Ludacris come in since the new year. Cool James left a 100% tip on an $4,000 tab but the others left right around 20%.

BiggerBoat posted:I assume you live in LA? My experiences were in Philadelphia and it was always strange who might show up. I'm in my 30s now and I've never made more money in a year than I did last year at this fine dining joint Post-shutdown is much better money than pre, for whatever reason. (in Ohio, not LA).

Air Skwirl posted:Yeah, switching to USPS from waiting tables did wonders for my pay check and my mental health. I've been thinking about exactly this switch. Do you have any suggestions to get in? Are you a carrier or work in a sorting facility?

Coasterphreak posted:I seriously hate when three dozen people drop with no warning. Like, can none of you grab the cellular device in your pocket and give a heads up? Celebrities/athletes are the worst. My joint will force the kitchen to stay open late bc a basketball guy might come in for a meal after the game but maybe not.
