Restaurant Etiquette 101

Do you expect everyone to know your place in and out? If you ain't a regular maybe you don't know what table you want beforehand.
But yeah, it does sound like you aren't very happy in your job. You are there to make the evening for the guest as comfortable as possible, are you not? And you get paid to do it.
If they are being assholes that is one thing, but you seem like you want them to make your evening as comfortable as possible, and that is not how it works. Just don't see it as annoyance.. adjust your attitude.

Did you happen to notice that nowhere did I say customers should get bent out of shape for being denied any requests? It's not okay for customers to act like children, nor is it okay for paid employees to act like their customers owe them anything other than the agreed upon amount for what's being provided. You really need to get over yourself.
Is the classic cheeseburger a double patty of chuck, or just ground beef? Sounds delicious.

I gave a bitch a penny tip once. Flipped it through the air while mean mugging her and it satisfyingly and loudly bounced off the table. Fuck that bitch.
Never had an issue other than that one. I like manners and the golden rule.

I thought the consent laws meant you had to ask?
Look at these 2 kraut eating, sausage smuggling pieces of eurotrash. Note, all the tables have been broken down, all the table cloths removed. Note, the chairs are stacked up. It's half hour past the time the restaurant is closed, and these two shit chuggers are still sitting there just talking. I wish I could have stabbed them both in the neck.
The service industry attracts some of the most self entitled workers in the world.
As usual, the complaints boil down to "don't make us do work, but pay us well!" Get an education, get a real career, and complain about all the same shit. Welcome to life.
Bus the table. You get paid to do it. It isn't like someone came in and damaged the property. You are complaining about having to do work that you get paid to do.
LOL @ giving a fuck what people order off the menu. You aren't getting a cut of the profits. You have zero reason to care. Even if you do get a cut of the profits, you should know enough to keep customers happy. This is no reason to lose a customer.
Everyone works with assholes and long hours. Stop complaining. It isn't going to do any good. Most of the time, I don't give a fuck about the specials. I already know what I want.
You don't call me by my name. You have no reason to expect me to remember yours. I'm an adult with real world adult problems which means I have other things on my mind. Your name isn't important. Just get my food and be nice to me, and I'll be nice to you and you'll get paid.
As someone else posted, your tables wouldn't get filled if you weren't in that neighborhood catering to that crowd. If you can't turn around a table in an hour, you have problems. Everyone has to prioritize their work, and everyone gets wrenches thrown into that. That's life. Roll with it.
I don't care about any of this. I only care about the service I get. I don't have huge expectations. Come take my order, bring me my food, stop by once to see how things are. Other than that, be in your section enough to observe whether or not you can sell someone another drink or if someone is trying to flag you down for something. That's pretty standard service industry shit. If you don't like the job, go do something else.
LOL @ this shit. I'll leave when I want. LOL @ expecting to get paid in exchange for nothing.
What do I care? If I don't like the table, I can ask for another. If they don't want my money, they can say no.
Maybe I hadn't noticed the problem by that time. Maybe the server wasn't around for me to flag down later. If something isn't to my liking enough to pay for it, I won't consume it. If I don't consume it for this reason, I'm not paying for it. Take it off the bill or it comes out of your tip. If it is that big of a deal, I'll talk to the manager or walk out.
LOL fuck off with this shit. If I see someone I haven't seen in awhile and they want to join me for a meal or whatever, they can. LOL @ we're here to serve you, but don't move the chairs and be sure to tip 25%.

Some of these responses are a little harsh, but at the same time... Work is work. It isn't called fun time for a reason.
Why didn't you just tell them you're closed and ask them to leave?Look at these 2 kraut eating, sausage smuggling pieces of eurotrash.

Nah.
I agree with everything you said except for this. A person can be an artist at anything. I have met server's who have unquestionably found their calling waiting tables.
The point I was making there was that these types of problems exist in most people's jobs. We all have bosses and customers. We all have to handle people being assholes. We all have to perform to get paid.
Getting out of the one industry would enlighten people to that.

Thread backfire lol.
Guys
@Mix6APlix is just venting. I think he's good people just stressed.
Bro have you thought about a career change? I don't think you're suited to the role. How about a trade? You can travel the world and work alone too.

They brought me my food at Dairy Queen the other day
What if you're taller than them? I look down on my wife all the time. Mrs Beard is like 5'3
Post pics of her so I can respond
That's right, bro. Your elbows can't be too pointy if you don't have them. It's how you can tell a dime from a nickel.
