We had a business owner in tonight who owns a restaurant just over the state line.
The arrived at 5:00.
They are seated immediately. Well sort of. They weren’t happy with their table and it took a second to get them a table they approved of.
Two of the four.
The other two arrive at 5:30.
And they sit. And sit. And sit.
At 6:30 they still haven’t ordered.
It’s approaching 7:00 when they order.
Then they sit and sit and sit.
They are still at the table at 8:00. The server has missed her second turn.
And they sit.
They finally pay their check.
And one of their credit cards is declined.
So they sit and sit.
They finally leave.
The out did themselves.
They tipped a nice 20% in their check.
After 3+ hours.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Turns out they were impressed with the server. And the business they own is a restaurant. And they try to poach the server. Asking her if she’d like to come work for them.
So.
They sit 3+ hours.
Tip like a normal person.
Then try to poach my employee.
Not cool folks. Not cool.
