However, I have made some of my best tips on those late comers. We really didn't mind it though. They were mostly polite and quiet.

So many people would have stayed and intentionally made the server pay for that mistake. As a server, you left.

Monday at your own restaurant, meh, an honest mistake (although...come on, not knowing your place of employment's own hours? Major lols there, dude). And, that other place that was closing early...it's their own fault, so don't even think twice.<br /><br />I once went into a sushi restaurant that I went to often, and it just so happened they closed in an hour. So, no big deal, we go in for a quick appetizer before a midnight movie screening, and they treated us terribly. Constantly asking us if we wanted the bill, tossing it on the table when we said we weren't ready for it yet (as our food had JUST arrived), and then as we left, telling (not asking) us not to come back so close to closing next time. I was miffed, but once again, meh. It's part of the business, as you well know. Heck, at my restaurant, we get late-comers all the time. It's gotten to the point where we're surprised if we -don't- get some white trash hooligans at two seconds to locked-doors.foxpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564758353114325351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-24383026374822153972012-04-27T09:08:54.058-04:002012-04-27T09:08:54.058-04:00Not at my place Bitchy I won't tolerate an unw...Not at my place Bitchy I won't tolerate an unwelcome feeling guest. Same treatment at 5:00 and at 9:59 or 10:00. It doesn't really matter seems often times there is a guest seated 2 hours before closing still sitting 40 min after closing apologizing but not moving. So seat the late table and make some money what is an hour.Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857959011594739037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-14225562748300107192012-04-27T05:17:58.548-04:002012-04-27T05:17:58.548-04:00Next thing we know, you will be wheeling in giant ...Next thing we know, you will be wheeling in giant strollers with babies!<br /><br />At least you did the right thing and left.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-29417232220873133352012-04-26T23:28:09.127-04:002012-04-26T23:28:09.127-04:00The linked back story about the "two bimbos&q...The linked back story about the "two bimbos" reminds me of Maya Rudolph & Amy Poehler doing the "Bronx Beat" bit on SNL.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-35267100503073799492012-04-26T17:10:15.929-04:002012-04-26T17:10:15.929-04:00But you weren't being like those who annoy you...But you weren't being like those who annoy you cause you were leaving when they were telling you they're closing, so yeahGhadeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811397676327530873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-83967937035801854602012-04-26T16:58:55.974-04:002012-04-26T16:58:55.974-04:00I work at a concept resturant where "service ...I work at a concept resturant where "service with scarcasm" is our motto, personally I enjoy every last minute table I get. Unfortunatly the customers who come in 5 minutes before we close do not. I assure you that I've broken that habit for a lot of them. I even have gone as far as to have my 250 lb line cook come out and deliver their food with the most pleasant attitude in the world. I've been that person and yes it does suck but the fact of the matter is we close at 11 and if your in before then we're gunna feed ya'. But I don't have to smile and be nice about it "hurry up and order so I can go get drunk" has been spoken more than once. Don't worry about being that person worry about getting a server like me :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-32108618764100368072012-04-26T16:21:26.966-04:002012-04-26T16:21:26.966-04:00No worries, BW.

You should have stayed.<br /><br />I like to bring a small chainsaw with me to work and at the end of the night when someone comes in to ask if they can still get a drink, I lightly tap my chainsaw sitting on the bar and say, "Absolutely! Stay as long as you like. Stay FOREVER!" And then I laugh like the Count on Sesame Street.

I would say that you weren't the bad person, they were lousy business people. The first place should have laughed at you lovingly for not knowing your own restaurant's schedule. The other two places falsely advertised their hours. No bad on you. Screw their arrogance.Scooter Santanoreply@blogger.com
