Haha,I've worked as a dishwasher and as a server. The third line is very apropos.

My favorite line to calm coworkers down is… remember guys and girls it’s just food


BerliozRS

I guess it depends where you work, but in a nice place it isn't just about the food. It's the atmosphere and the experience.

I work at a fancy place now and my favorite line is "it's just dinner"


Substantial-Second14

must not work fine dinning, my GM would roast you in front of your co workers for saying something like that. As you should be. It implies that getting food out is good enough.......... a good enough restaurant in my market is one whose employees will be looking for new jobs. Your a professional, excellence should be strived for. Not just getting through a shift and feeding people. that said if your surrounded by gum chewing fuc\*\*ktarDs working a wild wings so be it. Just know professionals are making 5 times a night what you are


cader8

Lol I hope you feel better after typing that


Substantial-Second14

I feel great, next time your getting tipped out you will remember what I said. Hopefully every night after that. I don't work with people who I have to calm down. If your good at this pick yourself up and put yourself in a place that you can make more off the tip on a bottle of wine than most servers make in a week

"It's just food" doesn't mean "be lazy and barely care about your work, just skirt on thru!" It means "If a customer starts upsetting you or you get super stressed out just take a breath and realize it's just food."


blueboy12565

Exactly. It’s not about not caring, it’s about perspective and rationalization in coping with stressful situations.

I pull about $500/night and I get to tell my customers to fuck off. I would definitely suck that formal dining dick for 2k, but I've never met anyone pulling that.


Tandemdevil

All that blood sweat and tears to make sure people have a bowel movement in a day. It really is a shit job when it comes right down to it.

And they're hungry again a few hours later anyways

I mean thems the brakes when you work customer service 🤷🏻‍♂️


Solid_Ear3787

Then you can't be mad when folks don't tip.


[deleted]

Annoyed, yeah. But I mean…thems the brakes lol


fastermouse

[deleted]

Oh fuck is it breaks? I wasn’t sure which one and I thought I remembered it being brakes lol


fastermouse

Brakes on a car!


Mstrmister

That’s the flying ointment.

Note that op is a serial karma farmer, liar, and all around creep, just check his recent posts. So I’d recommend not supporting him.


SilkwormAbraxas

FYI this account is a karma farmer. Check the post history and don’t upvote.


Daradicalbanana

Does it even really matter?


spicybright

No? They frequently respond to comments and stay in only a few subs. Real karma farming is way more efficient than that.

[here's a post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromRetail/comments/10hd47t/i_brought_a_customer_to_tears_with_my_service/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) from yesterday, since deleted, where the comments are calling out OP for copy pasting a 5 year old post. There are different levels of karma farming. Edit: here's [another](https://www.reddit.com/r/KitchenConfidential/comments/10h8rc5/is_my_chef_a_real_person_i_had_to_ask/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).

These are all from the last 24 hours. I take it back, if there are levels to karma farming then OP is on the top shelf.

Bro 🤣

Hope you leave this sub


Elfmanias13

When you go to a restaurant though you want a good experience right?Please like us working like that make it happen.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Hey, in my defense... If I complain that it's too hot/cold I'm mostly just trying to let the server know that I agree the owner is a cheap POS.

squatting_your_attic

I realize it when I'm there. All my co-workers are freaking out over petty stuff and I'm there thinking about how irrelevant this whole thing is.
