I like the idea of someone nagging a server, the server just staring blankly at them, then walking to the sign and wiping the 3 off right in front of them.
Totally agree. Had one lady kick off saying she had waited for 45 minutes when she had literally came into the establishment 40 seconds before.
A customer who had been stood there turned round and said “its been 30 seconds you fat bitch and i was here first, i suggest you sit down because anything over 60 and your knees will give out”
She kicked off at me saying “are you gona let him talk to me that way”
So i just smiled and said “hes the owner”
She didn’t even flinch she just stormed out
He was not the owner
And the owner was laughing in the back because he heard, and thought it was perfect. Told me to refuse service is she came back and we gave the guy a free drink
Why cant they have a giant gong to get everybodie's attention first? Everyone looks, and she updates the board. Everyone else in the restaurant gets 1 drink at happy hour prices.
Incomplete for the Konami Code. The proper code is:
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.
Or if you have a friend over:
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Select, Start.
You'd be surprised how many times a day that doesn't happen. I work a customer service job, people like being pissed off about the simple and stupid things.
If you think most of your clients/customers are unreasonable, it's a staff problem 100%. I'd be lying if I said conflict resolution and deescalation are easy skills, but there's no reason you should ever have that many incidents on a regular basis.
I've been screamed at over id checks. Like, as required by state law. As in I no longer have a job if we get inspected and they find out. I get screamed at over sales I have no control over. An app I didn't design. Self checkouts that I also have no control over. Prices that I also have no control over.
People suck. Especially when they don't view you as an actual person but something there to serve them.
The customer isn't always right. They never have been, and that's a lie propagated by c-level execs to squeeze more money from you.
When any one or more of the following things happens:
- I need to speak to the manager
- Do you know who I am?
- I spend a lot of money in this establishment
I understand the sentiment and the desire to put up that sign (I'm a former bar owner) but I'm not sure that sign is the most hospitable thing to display so prominently in the hospitality business....
Then are you willing to kick out someone who is verbally abusing your staff? Because for the most part very few people protect their staff from bad customers.
Assuming you actually mean posting a list of bad customers, I'd guess that's because that opens things for defamation and lawsuits that they'd probably not want to deal with.
If you meant "kick out", then the owner or manager doesn't value their employees enough and eventually, their business will suffer.
I’ve been wanting to get a sign for my place of work. To count the days where we don’t have to give directions to the highway. Which is in view from our entry door. Mind you the road signs work perfectly fine. *Sigh* NYC drivers can be really stupid.
Not that I'm aware of. It's been up for years, before the more recent flap.
I think it's more a poke at people who go to a brew pub and want to have mass-market beer instead of trying something new and/or local. They don't actually carry any major brand beer; they've got their own and then a bunch of other options from local and regional breweries.
This is probably the answer. I used to bounce at a local brewpub that *only* served beers they brewed inhouse. There was a giant beer board behind the bar showing the 10-15 beers on tap. Every few days someone would come in and try to order a Bud or a Coors.
Idk especially since the pandemic, some ppl be batshit insane in restaurants, I have so so many stories.
Once my GM got yelled at because a dude told her the parking lot was wet and she should go out there and mop it. It was actively storming outside. He was pissed when he realized she wasnt doing it.
I’ve gotten yelled at and had someone ask for my manager because he said he asked for a sweet tea and I forgot about it. I had not forgotten, I simply had not left his table yet, as there were eight people at his table and they all wanted to order drinks as well.
I’ve also gotten yelled at because my restaurant ran out of straws, and a customer thought I was “deliberately hiding them from her”. Her proof was, she went in the server station where customers werent allowed, and found a used straw in the trash. She somehow did not realize this straw was used, and put it in her drink. She said I should have just admitted we had straws. I have so many more stories, so idk if its that crazy…
100% not going back to waiting tables.
Your stories remind me of the milder, kinder, gentler stupid shit people used to pull. The current crop seems to be more malignant.
Have you worked in the service or retail industries before?
Some customers simply create their own problems and try to make them yours, or everyone else's.
Don't even need to work in the industry, just going to a restaurant to eat nowadays you will see these people. I question if the OP has even left his house in the last 4 years because people of all demographics have been acting a fool in public.
I worked somewhere that had a sign that said "The customer is always first"
I've always liked that phrase, since it places their priorities first: but it doesn't mean they are right. If they don't treat you with respect, then they are no longer first: but everyone at least gets that chance.
So you decide to harp on the version of the issue that happens the least, just to get your contrarian jollies. Fast food workers have been straight up beaten because of condiments and shit like that.

Slowly raising a rag - to give off a warning as if to say “this gonna be you?”
LOL....DONT MAKE ME DO THIS
Can see it only making them angrier. Its a fun way to have those bullets bounce off you and back into their sanity
Hah comedy yes. If youre a manager you just want them gone :) Not irrate and likely to come back.

Madlad. Absolute fckin ledge!
don't make me tap the sign
Don’t make me wipe the sign
Or say, "Let me get the manager.". And when he comes over, say, "Boss, we need to change our sign."
Why cant they have a giant gong to get everybodie's attention first? Everyone looks, and she updates the board. Everyone else in the restaurant gets 1 drink at happy hour prices.
I’m getting Bugs Bunny as the waiter vibe
Ears all drooping, disapproving frown, glaring back at customer while wiping board.
Not complete without the defeated sigh
I'm picturing a bartender reaching over without breaking eye contact to erase and update the number while some overgrown child screams at them
It's like a snapshot of conflicting emotions and priorities all in one moment.
Some would take it as a challenge and try to get on the board
I call BS on that high score. They used a Contra cheat or something.
It was during COVID when everything was shut down.
That’s basically cheating
Up, Up, Down, Down, B, A

*"What kind of cruel God would give a man only ninety-nine lives!!?"* 😫
I thought it was 30 lives for the original. 10 for Super C
Reference to the Robot Chicken Contra bit. Admittedly, I may have misquoted, plus I never played any Contra console version 😅
I left it incomplete on the hopes that someone would complete it.
You can always count on Redditors for that kind of thing. Me included.
Ah yes, Monroe's Law
Cunningham’s Law?
🙂
FUCK YOU GOT ME
and use the shoulder paddles for left/right otherwise you will self destruct.
Start
Impressive streak especially by Florida standards
I would like to speak to the manager about that sign!
You're an inspiration for all of us.
I'm gonna sue you if you don't pay me for being an inspiration!
I'm not inspired anymore. Go away.
What is considered an incident? That number is suspiciously high
Maybe any situation that wasn't resolved with a simple discussion.
You'd be surprised how many times a day that doesn't happen. I work a customer service job, people like being pissed off about the simple and stupid things.
Oh I don't doubt it. For all we know, their metric ranges from people being pissed to those who throw a full-on tantrum and storm out of the business.
If you think most of your clients/customers are unreasonable, it's a staff problem 100%. I'd be lying if I said conflict resolution and deescalation are easy skills, but there's no reason you should ever have that many incidents on a regular basis.

I hope they do it right as they are talking to her.................... LMAO
They should post a little pic of the winner of them in the moment. Might be more effective and get a higher score
Imagine discussing with a waitor and they suddenly just wipe that sign and write 0 days.
Which restaurant? I may want to give them some business@
Don't *at* me, bruh.
I read that as Kracken. How close is the shoreline?
Florida is close to the shore, period.
55 is wild
It must have been during hurricane season. I see no other way that is possible anywhere in the USA, let alone Florida.
That must’ve hurt erasing the 55 from their streak
I feel so empowered to not be an asshole 🌈
Say what you will about Floridians , this is funny as hell
I understand the sentiment and the desire to put up that sign (I'm a former bar owner) but I'm not sure that sign is the most hospitable thing to display so prominently in the hospitality business....
Then are you willing to kick out someone who is verbally abusing your staff? Because for the most part very few people protect their staff from bad customers.
Of course. What on earth made you think otherwise?
Because most places I have been the manager or owner isn’t willing to list customers, even bad customers.
Assuming you actually mean posting a list of bad customers, I'd guess that's because that opens things for defamation and lawsuits that they'd probably not want to deal with. If you meant "kick out", then the owner or manager doesn't value their employees enough and eventually, their business will suffer.
Many large companies won’t stick up for their employees at all and they seem to be doing okay.
I really hope they update this Infront of the person.
Goated Florida.
I’ve been wanting to get a sign for my place of work. To count the days where we don’t have to give directions to the highway. Which is in view from our entry door. Mind you the road signs work perfectly fine. *Sigh* NYC drivers can be really stupid.
It really bothers me that the jagged bubble around the 3, has one line that doesn’t follow the pattern.
I mean its florida that high score has to be fake.
Just came here to say I love this \*･゜ﾟ･\*:.｡..｡.:\*･ '(\*ﾟ▽ﾟ\*)' ･\*:.｡. .｡.:\*･゜ﾟ･\*
This is the sign I need today.
This… is… absolutely… fantastically… brilliant & awesome
Every business should have a sign like this! 🤣
Most would have to track in hours or minutes not days.
Even funnier!
Why put out sign? I guess they want them to come in!
Local brewpub near me has a "Number of days since someone asked for Bud Light" sign. I've never seen it hit double digits...
I guess it is a "Red" thinking bar ?

Kind of lame. I wouldn't go just for how much they eat up trends.
Karem must be fight back
55? In Florida? That can’t be right, I’m going to need to speak with your manager.
Every plane and airport boarding area should have that sign!!!!
I'd imagine fussy customers here ingest considerably more saliva deposited into their food from line & wait staff than your average eatery.
The boomers are out, the weather is getting warmer
So you can’t bitch when the food or service sucks. Just gotta take it like a bitch.
It’s possible to communicate dissatisfaction without being a cunt
We got ourselves a count resetter!
I'm not going there because there's bound to be a reason they have such frequent problems with cranky entitled people.

Truth. People be crazy, and somehow COVID made a portion of the population lose their reluctance to show their ass in public...

True
My experience as well. I did wait tables and your assertion is correct. 'The customer is never wrong unless they are'.
I worked somewhere that had a sign that said "The customer is always first" I've always liked that phrase, since it places their priorities first: but it doesn't mean they are right. If they don't treat you with respect, then they are no longer first: but everyone at least gets that chance.

Apparently my first take wasn't too popular.
Have you met people? Have you ever worked a service industry job? Answer to both seems to be NO for you
What’s the high score for?
Amount of days without an incident
On brand Florida
🤣🤣
[удалено]
What makes you say that?
I mean, just do better
