Dumb shite my servers have done

Medium

I did a post a while back, telling about my customers in the student run restaurant where I do my college course. Its only fair I do one for the staff

  1. Only yesterday, we had a walk in and I told a lvl 1 to put water on the customers table (note: we usually get water on tables before customers arrive, a process this kid was aware of) she looked at me with all the seriousness a drunk kitten could muster.... "does she want still or sparkling"

  2. Also yesterday, a lvl 2 very nearly put ginger ale in my cocktail shaker. Id told her before why we dont do that... she nearly did anyway

  3. One of our tutors decided to eat in the restaurant on one of our lvl 1 shifts, he told his server, (The same lvl 1 from story 1) to watch his table... she stared at it for 15 minutes

  4. A lvl 3 (while we were still level 2) thought itd be a good idea to ask a customer with a nut allergy if he was also allergic to peas, I asked her why and she confidently said "peas are nuts"

  5. There was a lvl 2 a while back (thankfully he has since left the course) who repeatedly poured wine down an ice well, perfectly good wine.. down a full ice well. I even repeatedly explained why you dont do that... REPEATEDLY

  6. The same lvl 3 from story 4 has a boyfriend who comes to our restaurant alot. You'd think that'd be fine right? WRONG. They full on snog infront of a full restaurant, and our tutors just don't react

  7. Again, that same lvl 3 dropped a carrot down the back of a customers shirt when trying to silver serve... and walked off. She knew what she did

  8. Im not proud to admit it but I (lvl 3) once bitched about a customer when her husband was right behind me... he was mostly deaf thank god but oh my god I couldve died even i realised

  9. Also me, I called a customer to ask if they were still coming but I called the wrong customer, instead id called someone who was ALREADY SAT DOWN 😭

10, last but certainly not least... one of our lvl 2s has a habit of staring at customers while they eat... at their table, no blinking what so ever. I keep telling him not to do that but suffice to say that never goes well
