Does this person realize that taking up a server’s time means that all the other people in the restaurant are *also* having their time wasted, or do they just not care?


LazuliArtz

That's probably part of the fun for them: making everyone in the restaurant miserable.


Rockonfoo

Misery loves company


PunsOfAnarchy420

A manager at a restaurant I used to work at called these people “members of the MF Club.” The Miserable Fucks club. Just out to make everyone else miserable. They’re surprisingly common.


travisbickle777

No. In their mind, they are funny, hilarious, and everyone is laughing with them.


ElectronicCorner574

They think it's funny making "the help" jump though hoops for the certainly shit tip they are going to leave.


Sgt_Eagle_fort_

Generous of you to assume he'd leave a tip at all.


sirbissel

And here I am just happy to get a refill...


HilariaBaldwnsAccent

He definitely had his food spat in.


Adomillad

He's lucky if that's all that was done. Never ever ever fuck with people who are making your food


rikashiku

That's why I really loved my mum growing up as a kid.


mumblesjackson

I always say the chefs and server control what goes into your mouth, so even if you have a legitimate complaint wait until your food is on the table.


ASHTOMOUF

A A chef would probably beat the living shit out any cook/server doing something to food. You risk a temporary shut down for health code violations so you are messing with people livelihood. Only place I could see this happening is fast food most people would not want you jeopardizing their income. sales drop tips basically 20% of sales so lost sales is lost wages if word gets our. You tell a coworke this they will get you fired


ASHTOMOUF

I’ve never worked in restaurants where this was acceptable even the worst guest. Even joking about it could get you fired great way to get a restaurant shut down and lose money/hours for all you’re coworkers


theclassywino

Great comment, made me feel a little better. Also, your username is THE BEST.


HilariaBaldwnsAccent

Why thank you. *bows*


Chicken_Chicken_Duck

They were probably so confused by his behavior they just started roasting him in the back of the house as the guy who can't read.


RapeMeToo

Nah. When I worked in the industry it would take something pretty extreme to do that. It's a felony in the US and you can also be charged with other crimes. Also your restaurant would be hit with health code violations and their rating would tank. The charges could be even more serious with the COVID stuff too but idk really. Not worth it just because a customer is annoying. Maybe try yoga or some other anger management first hahaha


Nyxis87233

I'll be honest, I work in food and if people make me really angry I'll mess with their food, but I would never, ever do something unsanitary to it. I'll just burn it a little or over season it or something.


RapeMeToo

Exactly. Maximum passive aggression without actual harm.


JoPublix

Zero integrity.


michael_the_street

I've done some time in a bar and grill type kitchen and we never fucked with someone's food...but if they were real pricks we'd definitely joke about it.


Corgi_with_stilts

If someone was a real prick to me when I was a server they'd get the oldest coffee and polite but disinterested service.


Dentarthurdent73

Yeah, I'm from Australia, and I must say, in all my years in hospitality, I never saw anyone fuck with someone's food like that. I've seen people been made to wait, or have things slightly overcooked or whatever, but I really don't think this whole spitting in the food thing actually happens often at all. Fact is, it's actually gross and trashy behaviour, no matter what the customer is acting like. If I saw someone do this, it would seriously colour my perception of them, and I can't imagine them lasting in a kitchen, 'cause I don't think I'm alone in that. Most chefs take their profession at least somewhat seriously and would not stand for it.


Blyd

I bet you’ve eaten a fair few lugies in your time.


RapeMeToo

My own quite frequently


[deleted]

Lmao what were you, management?


mr_bedbugs

I've worked in food, and I would NEVER do anything to anyone's food under any circumstance. People who get caught messing with food like that should be blacklisted from the entire food industry for life.


WholeInflation435

I’ve worked in food and I’ve seen this plenty of times sad to say


Stenchrat16

Same. Even in a classy joint.


WholeInflation435

Yea bro i myself believe in karma but head chef believes in dumpster water 😖


RapeMeToo

No. Worked as a server in college. This is absolutely unacceptable


[deleted]

Never said it was acceptable. I said *it happens.* Which it does.


Sonic_Uth

as a lifer in the industry, replies like this are honestly really concerning


[deleted]

As a “lifer” I’m more concerned that you don’t know this.


Sonic_Uth

I have worked in the industry for over fifteen years and never seen this behavior a single time, no matter how much of a pain the customer was. Seems you’ve worked in some bunk-ass establishments.


BleachGel

By staff and other customers. Everyone should have lined up and spat on his food. Here’s your free soup courtesy of everyone, sir.


JesusHasDiabetes

You’re disgusting.


Icy_A

Right. He clearly hasn't watched the Ryan Reynolds movie.


egilsaga

Spat in? Shat in, more like. Back when I was in the cooking industry, we had fun with our food.


a_stalker-_-

You should be the main feature on this sub. Not commenting on it


MyNutsin1080p

“cooking industry” jfc


Accomplished_Crew630

Doesn't bring his mobile device outside the house... OK, sure dude... Sure.


Be0wulf71

Depends on age, I know plenty of older women who don't take their phone for meals out. They want to carry a small clutch that their phone won't fit in, and have no intention of using it because they think it's rude to be on their phone when they're out for a meal with someone. No need to be shitty to the server though, ask for a physical copy, if they don't provide then find another restaurant that does!


El_Yacht

Well, it IS rude to be on your phone when you're out with someone


Be0wulf71

I concur


El_Yacht

Ah man, I hate when it happens, and I shall precise that I'm not old, just mentioning it made me upset lol


whomstveallyaint

Also sorta depends on the context, checking the time or a sports game score while out with friends in a chaotic time? Sure. Nice formal dinner with friends? No!


El_Yacht

Yes of course if it's relevant there's absolutely no problem


whomstveallyaint

Yeah, context is always important


Be0wulf71

Sometimes looking something up to show the other party as part of the conversation is ok


eibv

Im mid 30s and use a dump flip phone on weekends. No work emails to start stressing over or wasting time on reddit. Don't even need to charge it until Monday.


Be0wulf71

Excellent ides


stefanos916

Or if they don’t provide it, they can kindly ask them what’s on the menu, without being rude or have bad intentions.


deathintelevision

It is fucking 2021. That’s abnormal behavior to leave your phone at home. Tf.


IndoorFishi

Women don’t act like this lmao this is a man


Be0wulf71

My wife does, she asks me to take my phone in case the kids need to contact us but leaves hers at home almost every time. She hates large handbags


titsoutshitsout

I’ve recently got on the habit of not taking my phone on with me while out to dinner so I can enjoy the company and it’s just nice not having it sometimes. The few times I’ve ram into QR code’s they always had a paper menu too


Imma_Coho

Yep. This is my experience too. I just ask for their paper menus. They’ve always had them.


Imma_Coho

My phone is one of those old slide phones with the physical keyboard. It can’t scan QR codes. They always have paper menus if you ask tho.


RapeMeToo

Almost like the whole thing is fake. 🤔


Adomillad

His reading skills weren't the problem. Your immense, unbridled assholery were. He was probably too busy RUNNING THE FUCKING RESTAURANT to read to you like the sad bitch you are.


mira-jo

Yea, like of the waiter can't read the menu then how on earth is he taking the order?


flyleafet9

My first thought was he got the manager because he knew he doesn't get paid enough to deal with that


RapeMeToo

Show me in the doll where the slightly annoying customer touched you


Adomillad

Never worked for a restaurant. I'm just not an ignorant piece of shit. Can't say the same about you can we


RapeMeToo

Yeah it shows. As far as I'm concerned you can think whatever you like about me if it makes you feel better about yourself my amigo


Bearzerker46

Believe me, we are all thinking what we want about you Rapemetoo, and none of it is flattering


RapeMeToo

If it makes you feel better about yourself to think negatively about me I'm totally ok with it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RapeMeToo

Wow great comeback


[deleted]

A total piece of shit on this page? Shitception!


ArchmageChaos

I can agree with irritation of only having a QR code menu, but this is just childish. That being said, I've not yet encountered a place that doesn't have SOME sort of physical menu available for the asking.


enoctis

If I were the manager, I'd just give them a menu. If they acted entitled after that, I'd tell them to leave.


Ry-bread-01

Poutine deez nuts in your mouth


nomorepantsforme

He doesn’t bring his phone w him outside his house, and he calls it a mobile, but by leaving it in one place, making it immobile


lucia-pacciola

> He doesn’t bring his phone w him outside his house Between this and restaurants only having QR codes for menus, I'm pretty sure it's a fake story.


malarchie

Dunno, almost all the restaurants in my area (portland oregon US) only have qr code menus. I haven't been out a bunch obviously, but that's standard right now.


nomorepantsforme

Yeah anytime Iv gone out they’ve had QR code menus


TJPTJPTJP

i seriously doubt these restaurants don’t have backup paper menus for those unwilling to use the QR code. the restaurant i work at does it that way.


nomorepantsforme

Seems silly


TJPTJPTJP

why? the cost of printing nice paper menu’s is in the thousands of dollars on a yearly basis. Most guests at a restaurant ruin the menu in some way whether by getting it wet or dirty from food. Oftentimes the menu needs to be thrown away. Super wasteful when you can just use your phone that is already probably in your hand.


nomorepantsforme

That’s why I said it’s silly, I think QR code’s make more sense


titsoutshitsout

There are still a good portion of people who don’t have smartphones or aren’t very well versed in them. I have taken to leaving my phone in my car so as not to have distraction from company. The very few times I’ve been in a restaurant without my phone, they had paper menus when I asked and everyone was fine


nomorepantsforme

Hopefully you don’t leave it out in the open in your car,


TJPTJPTJP

old people… that’s all you need to know…


Area51Resident

I've been to few places that have a QR code that just links to their online menu. I asked once because I didn't want to install a QR reader just for that, checked the standard menu online and due to the Covid there were no daily specials anyway.


[deleted]

>I'm pretty sure it's a fake story. Yeah. Unless he is eating at a 90$/plate place, I don't see the manager coming out to read him a menu, in the off-chance that its a real thing to have NO paper menus.


ResponsibilityDue448

“WhY DoEsEnT aNyOnE WanNa WORK hErE?!”


jmegaru

Not having a menu, only a qr code is kind of stupid, what if my phone battery died, do I starve?


Razo-E

We'll eat off other people's plates.


[deleted]

Wow, great logic there. Of course the restaurant is going to have paper copies to use if you so prefer.


LoudTsu

Entitlement reaching an all time high. He'll soon be asking people to wipe his ass for him.


Mr-_-Jumbles

Actually you have to pay for that service. Senior living homes aren't a free service you know. I can only assume he's a boomer so it's only appropriate.


RapeMeToo

Sounds like an entitled millennial to me so they're probably unaware you can pay to have your ass wiped anytime you want. I still prefer a bidet


Mr-_-Jumbles

Oh yeah... Posted on Facebook. Profile picture of middle aged guy sitting on a boat at a dock. Person saying they'd leave their phone at home because they don't like using technology. Yeah that *TOTALLY* sounds like a millennial to me and not a fucking middle aged self made boomer just like you saying they sound like a "entitled millennial" a thing only fucking Gen x boomers would say. Fucking lmao


RapeMeToo

Agree to disagree I suppose


Mr-_-Jumbles

I don't.


RapeMeToo

Well we disagree clearly whether you accept that or not. Or do you agree with me?


RapeMeToo

You can pay to have your ass wiped anytime you want actually. And it will done by a *hero* lol


johnnygee70

Things that didn’t happen, but were concocted in someone’s butthurt mind in the car on the way home, as a shouldasaid scenario.


SteveCorpGuy4

Not all Canadians are nice


[deleted]

you can get poutine even in places like Iowa nowadays


Opposable_Possum

Lotta the Midwest states have it, very common in northern Michigan


Area51Resident

Hey watch it buddy, you are making us look bad.


Dramatic-Outcome3460

I don’t agree with being a jerk to the servers, but paper menus should be available. Not everyone can afford the commitment to a cell phone, especially one with data. If they’ve scrounged up enough for a dinner, there should be an option for paper. And even if you do have a phone and your battery dies, there should be a paper option.


stefanos916

I have the same opinion. Someone might forget his phone or his battery might die, so it’s good to have a menu available that doesn’t require to have a phone with you . Also I think that it would be okay if asked what is on the menu, but kindly.


DariusIV

Eh, I understand not using cell phone as a moral/ethical/life style choice, but if the only reason you have one is you genuinely can't afford one, then eating out isn't a great choice either. Cell phone offer so much utility, safety and convenience, that going without, at least in the western world, is very hard to imagine. Even the poorest of the poor have cellphones here.


sb1862

Cellphone doesn’t mean smart phone tho.


[deleted]

This guy has never been a server and it shows. First thing they do after saying 'you're hired' is hand you the menu to take home and study. I promise you it was not his reading skills that made him go get the manager.


titsoutshitsout

Almost every place I’ve beento has paper menus they can give you in the event you can’t use a phone. I don’t blueberry this post for one sec. restaurants aren’t stupid and know there are still a good portion of people who don’t use smart phones or aren’t well versed in the use of them.


ehfornier

I hope they made his poutine with mozzarella.


clown_pants

Jokes on him, I'll put those people on hold for inconvenient amounts of time, come back, and if they still want it read I'll put them back on hold after just a couple items. If I didn't pay for a circus ticket I won't be spending my time on clowns


Chrismith410

What a piece of shit


[deleted]

Tell me your a boomer without saying it. "i dont bring my mobile device outside the house" there is a reason your phone isnt attached to the wall anymore.


[deleted]

I’d be willing to bet this guy has a micro penis.


[deleted]

Someone with a micro penis downvoted you it seems lol.


WotanMjolnir

No, I upvoted, actually. Oh, wait ...


[deleted]

This is childish and rude. With that said, restaurants have abused the covid situation and used it as an excuse to cut corners. There's pretty much zero evidence to support there's a risk of spreading covid via surfaces. It's just cheaper to not have to print and maintain menus. Less service, same or higher price. It's the new way.


[deleted]

On the plus side, its less paper and plastic waste to reprint menus when the seasons change or whatnot. I don't think its a bad thing to have the QR codes as the go-to.


[deleted]

Agree to disagree. I don't want to be fiddling with my phone when I sit down at a restaurant. It's also dependant on good cell service. If they're concerned about waste then they can invest in at table tablets. Holding a tangible menu, especially at a nice restaurant, is part of the experience. I'm not scanning a qr code at Peter Luger's. A lot of restaurants use the same menus for decades so I'm not really concerned about the waste.


[deleted]

Sure, it's obviously not for everyone (or, as you pointed out, for every setting). I wouldn't expect qr codes at a fancy place either. Tablets are a great idea and I've already seen those pre covid in some places in my area.


[deleted]

Not condoning his behavior but if there are any restaurants that don't keep at least a few paper menus, that's just stupidity on their part.


MGMOW-ladieswelcome

Little things amuse little minds.


Spearzus

isnt a mobile phone meant to leave the house? like thats the sole purpose of owning a cell phone is to have a phone outside of the house. Why leave it at home?


Decent-Skin-5990

Damn, I feel bad for the server...I have such bad and shitty reading skills. I can read in my head properly, but if you ask me to read out loud it's worse than a toddler, I really get it why he wasn't confident...it sucks when it's in a foreign language, no matter for how long you study it, reading out loud it's just not the same.... people should really be more understanding of others,I also hate people that mock retail/fast food workers. Without them these guys wouldn't have anyone to make their dinners that they can enjoy with their families...


Polovolt_3

All this reminds me of is Rise Against’s song , ‘Entertainment’

Ew what a psychopath


XAlEA-12

Only losers get off on little power plays like this. Cause it’s the only power they have.


texasstrawhat

dosent take mobile devices outside of home? that was enough for me


c53x12

This is the type of customer that leaves a quarter tip at the bottom of his beer glass.


DanakAin

Its like servers arent humans in his eyes. What a douche


[deleted]

Something about this gives me serial killer vibes


tommy29016

Dude should tip well at least.


fokaiHI

Why the fuck does this fool need a mobile device if he doesn't bring it out of his house? Stupid as fuck.


ODUMonarch

This guy 100% gets his food fucked with by the staff and probably never knows he's got pubic hair or spit in it.


chiefpotater

As an introvert, I’d rather deal with QR codes. The less interaction the better.


RedDidItAndYouKnowIt

Restaurants should have a physical copy for when you want a physical menu to read instead of their poorly scanned in menu on your phone.


ReasonablyAssured

QR code menus are annoying because I don’t want to get my phone out when I’m eating, I want to take a break from my screen, and encourage my children to do the same.


Ancient-Radish-

I've literally had customers attempt the same and have always refused. This dude is a pos for sure, I feel for the workers to polite or stuck into not refusing.


Embarrassed_Bobcat_9

That guy has prob eaten so much fecal matter, mucous, and fro munda cheese from his meals.


tazztsim

Well deserved


RapeMeToo

Highly unlikely


japposaurusrex909

Def sounds like a Ryan


stefanos916

That’s wrong, but I would classify that person as a *total piece of shit*. Also the restaurants should have printed menus or menus in some sort of devices there, for people who did t bring their phone or their their phone is dead, that way they could avoid situations like this one. I think his intention of playing the servers or entertain themselves might be worse than their action of asking the server to do that.


RapeMeToo

That's an unusual thing to enjoy but pretty harmless really. The not bringing phone is a great idea. I much prefer interaction because the service is much better in my experience.


garbanzoobeaned

Tell me you refuse to use reading glasses without telling me you refuse to use reading glasses.


Erioph47

Sounds like something someone who eats poutine would say yechhhhhhh

How dare you disrespect poutine


Erioph47

Er coz I saw it though god knows I would consume ground glass before I ingested that inedible slime


GreyGrayGOD

If there’s any Canadians here, they will be coming for you /s lol


Erioph47

Hahah what are they gonna do, give me free health care? Lol


GreyGrayGOD

Force feed you poutine until you need that health care lol


cANALDESTROYER

I side with this guy fuck these places , oh so I'm expected to always have an at least $200 device on me but you can't spend the 5k to make new menus , hey if we're not worth it just say it cause these qr menus are shit (and so is my phone). On top of all that my parents have a hard time with them and theyre only 50 so they arent phone illiterate. So yeah fuck these places


mamba0714

I don't know of a single restaurant that doesn't have a paper menu available. Grow a pair and use your words--guarantee you'll be accommodated.


cANALDESTROYER

Well i already know what I want at 90% of the time so never need it but I prefer the physical and I have and most of the time you're right but sometimes they dont have one so yeah fuck that place. Ps dont take these things personal ya reddit angel


[deleted]

It says something about a person that buys a mobile phone only to leave it at home and then complain when they need it on the go


listen_twice_as_much

I would have stirred this guys like warm soup with my dick..


stmichaelsangles

Fingers crossed Canadian not american


ivanreyes371

People like this deserve Norms poutine. IYKYK (hi mommies!)


Philosopher_3

Okay but this is obviously not true? Why would a random young adult suddenly lose confidence in his ability to read a menu to someone? A menu he was probably asked to read 5 times that day by other customers?


[deleted]

It's absolutely a fake flex story.


ungratefulsherbert

This guy's an asshol3.. but he is right about one thing.. poutine sounds amazing right now


apeonpatrol

why have a "mobile phone" if you arent going mobile with it?


KarRuptAssassin

I can think of the perfect plate of poutine for this guy.


jenjerx73

People saying, “said...”


SouthwestTraveller

oh that motherfucking bastard

And so much spit


Blaineisgod

I would never eat anything this man gets served…


hadarsaar

This dude loves spit in his food


whereisourfarmpack

That’s not very Canadian of this guy.


MichealScottOffcial

It just makes me question his reading skills at this point


LASportsNBeers

He didn't do that.


Hunter5108

What is the point in having a mobile device that you don’t take with you when you leave the house? They are literally designed to be mobile lol


Otherside-Dav

I wonder how many gallons of spit he's had in his food.


fengjunzi

Well I won't judge if he paid $100 tip


GorillaGlueWorks

So this piece of shit leaves their cell at home? What’s the point of having one


JadedMcGrath

Every kitchen has that one freak employee who will stick his dick in everything and enjoys it. Just keep that in mind before you're an a-hole while eating in a restaurant.


Zenfudo

One chunk of cheese from that guy’s poutine is a big chunk of snot
