I’d like to speak to the manager!!!
People are evil.
People are horrible.
And if there is karma they’ll be punished.
Last week I wrote about table 21.
They called me a bastard.
They called me fat.
They called me a pussy.
They yelled and behaved like a spoiled 6 year old.
Over the weekend we had two no show reservations.
One on Friday.
One on Saturday.
Because I wasn’t on the door I knew the party size and did not pay attention to the name.
Unfortunately, both reservations were assigned to the same server.
Tonight I was on the door.
And I gave the server the best section.
And what would you know 7:30 comes and goes and another no show.
So I look at the last two days and realize they’ve been made by the same person.
And then I get a hunch and check the phone number from last Wednesday.
What would you know.
The reservation last Wednesday and the no shows all have a 303 area code.
It’s clear they think they are causing us to lose money.
What sucks is it’s not really hurting us. It’s hurting the server.
I give this some thought.
Then I pick up the phone and call the person from last Wednesday.
She picks up.
I say, You all are special. Your little prank isn’t hurting the restaurant. It’s hurting hard working staff that are just try to pay their rent. If this doesn’t stop I will make it a police matter.
I hung up.
I was fucking angry.
What I didn’t realize was that a three top had walked in.
He said you tell ‘em.
I apologized.
They made a joke.
And got seated.
When they left he made a point of telling me how great it was that I defended my staff.
I’m still pissed.
