ITT: We discuss the worst types of customers we encounter at work/when we are out.

9 times out of 10 its a large young/middle age white woman who gets hateful with me. I had to get one lady perma-banned over Velveeta cheese. It's always worse when they have small children with them, their rudeness increases tenfold for some reason.

>>7092529
Just people who come in and completely try to customise their meal. Just choose something off of the menu or fuck off imo

I work at a sushi restaurant so we attract some pretty bad weebs. One of them, with blue hair and acne to style, was shouting loudly about how gluten free is stupid right after the table next to his had requested something gluten free. One of the waitresses asked him to kindly talk quieter (its a real small restaurant). He proceeded to shout about his second amendment right, how censorship is killing small businesses (or something like that, I didnt really understand), then started shouting about how offended he was that a waitress would offer to give him a fork instead of chopsticks. I along with the other sushi chef ran out from the bar and told him to leave then had to drag him by his arms and threaten calling the police.
Tl:dr got to drag a /pol/ weebo out of the restaurant I work at

>>
>>7092559
I look like a regular guy, mayne. I don't tell anyone that I watch anime, none of my friends know

Also, I hate customers that bring their screaming babies into the restaurant. Yes, I understand that you want to get some food, but get it to go instead of disturbing everyone else

At work atm, shitty cafe/coffee shop job

>morning rush
>all is well

> okay, so one traveler good for about 10 people that'll be....
>no, no. It for 150 people
>uhhhh, well that's going to take us a while, we usually like orders that large in advance
Mind you, we're primarly food, we do coffee on the side
>well How long dat gonna take?
>realistically at least an hour
>mmmmmmm I ain't got that, I'm supposed be there in like 10 minutes, what you mean an hour?
>well that's not going to happen, I literally cannot do that
>*clicks teeth* I want your manager that's unacceptable
>you're talking to him
>mmmm no, I want someone else. You know what, I ain't never coming back here I'm in here all the time and we get that all the time and etc
>ok well I'm here all the time and we've never had an order that large, so my name is anon and you're welcome to lodge a complaint with the owners, I can help who is next

She's already called twice to complain.

Working in the breakfast kitchen of a 5 Star restaurant right now, the customers are mostly surprisingly pleasant to deal with. The Russians and Locals (Austrians) are the worst thought. The Russians straight up order in Russian without any sign I understand it (I do) without any manners, grab a fuckton and are overall pretty rude and Austrians sometimes get all pissy I talk english to them, because its not like this is an international restaurant.
>>
>>7092737
Interesting about russians speaking to you in Russian. When I was in Germany and Switzerland (I'm American), I would speak in English. The people didn't seem offended. I reckon they were proud of their ability to communicate to a foreigner.
>>
>>7092740
Jeah, I dont get it. And it's the other way around - some Austrian Customers think I should greet them in German, with no way to know if they are from here or tourists. I myself love to talk english so its always nice to have a chat with some american or english people.
>>
>>7092740
One time, though, when I was in Paris at the Louvre, I asked a security guy where the Cezanne paintings were, and I could smell the hate in his voice at having being spoken to in English, in HIS country. Haha. That was the only time, though.
>>
>>7092744
What's your native language? How many do you speak, anyway? Sounds like working in a 5-star international hotel would be very demanding in terms of language ability.
>>
>>7092745
France has more of those kind of people than most places in Europe. Mostly among older people.

Just learn a few words of broken French to flatter them, they'll smirk at you and then start speaking English without prompting.
>>
>>7092751
Brussels is the worst senpai. Really awful city. The French speaking parts of Europe are the worst.
>>
>>7092562
You're just a closeted weeb
>>
>>7092749
My native language is Russian (I'm ukrainian), and I speak german and english, so it's not that many, but most cooks aren't really language prodigies, so 3 is a lot for them.
It was just a nice bonus that I speak those, because after my first year in training I wont be handling customers directly at all.

And let me tell you one thing I've learned so far about five star hotels... they are bullshit. Some of the things we sell for like 15€ are worth 2€ at best and served in 2,5 minutes.
>>
>>7092760
The main thing you pay for at these type of hotels is to avoid having to be in the company of people who can't afford it.
>>
>>7092760
Cool. Sounds like a fun experience. I myself know a little Spanish, growing up in Texas it's natural. It's quite common in kitchens there for most staff to be Hispanic and so the talk is mostly Spanish in many places.

I suggest to you, if you have free time and enjoy books, read "Down and Out in Paris and London", written by George Orwell. Talks about his experience in elite Parisian hotels, in the kitchens. What you say about quality / price is claimed in his book as well. Very interesting insights about hotel culture.

Besides all that it's just a fun book.
>>
>>7092766
Thanks man, I will if I can get hold on this book. You think it will miss its charm if i read it in german? because english isn't as fluent for me.

I'm curious, is it a european thing to call all the things in the kitchen by the french names, or is it a feeling pretentious thing?
>>
>>7092777
The book isn't so much about the poetry of his writing. It's the topics and situations that are the focus. So German would be fine, I think.

All I know about international cuisine is that French is held in the highest regard. So, as basically the "mother" of great cuisine, it's probably just natural to use french names for things.

I haven't worked in a fine restaurant, so this is just my personal estimate.
>>
>>7092780
I think if you can cook, you can cook. The "fine dining" part is the easiest to learn, probably, if you know the rest. And the people there are also not what you'd expect them to be. Our kitchen is run mostly by 17-22 year olds with a few people around 30, all of them pretty fucked up, loud and as childish as it gets. I mean the food is handled responsibly and the products are good, but in the end, its just your regular kitchen.
>>
>>7092791
Fine dining is just about how to dress up regular ingredients? In your hotel at least?
>>
Definitely brown people. I work at a turkish gyro restaurant. I do everything from phones to cashier to grill but typically phones. Habibis are savages, they just yell in to the phone what they want incorrectly and never want to let you speak to take their name/phone number. Don't tip at all or worse than jews, and always call back to complain how long its taking or etc.

Example that really happened

>hello gyro restaurant
>LAMB GYRO PITA PLS
>is this a pick up or delivery?
>YESS NO ONION THANK YOU
>sir, i need to know if this is delivery or pickup
>I COME TO YOU NO PROBLEM
>alright then what is your name and phone number?
>YES SO 5 MINUTES I COME LAMB GYRO PITA


Second most frustrating is old people. One time this old bitch calls to order delivery, and everything is fine when at the end she mentions last time we gave her diet coke instead of regular and she tells me she kept it and wants us to send the regular coke. Tells me last time she ordered was a week ago and that she didnt call the day the mistake was made. I checked her order history and it was actually 1 month ago. At this point I just asked her if she kept the food from a month ago too and she hung up lul.
>>
>>7092799
Mostly, yes. Of course, some things done are pretty impressive, but not much harder than regular recipes. Presenting it well and some luxuary ingredients are the difference.
And yes, its about what I've seen in my hotel/heared from classmates working in other luxuary hotels.

Oh no do not do this. You're better off just speaking English than attempting to speak French and failing.
They look at it as you butchering their precious language. The French really are pretentious fucks.

Anyone Middle-eastern, Jews, old people, rude/snobby people, people who come in within 5 minutes of closing and stay to eat and then talk for 30 minutes, people who come after close saying "are you open? no? we'll is there something I can get like real quick? anything?" and the people who ask that before we are open. Also smelly niggers.

Yes, Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus. That guy. Hailed, commonly, as "Caesar" in honor of his uncle and adoptive father, whose name later became a title for the emperor in general. The title preserves in "Tsar" and "Kaisar, among others.

I've been screamed at by everyone. Mostly fat older white ladies who pop out more fat kids to get welfare and come and spend fifty dollars in the drive thru and give me the stink eye because their large diet coke has too much ice or that burger was supposed to have NO LETTUCE even though I didn't even decide to tell you that until after you've made it! I'll keep this one though, but the last ten times I came here you were sooooo slow even thoughI'm going to continue coming back I just want you to know you are absolute scum for not putting enough bacon on my burger

Fuck this job has made me so bitter and I'm only 23. I'm trying to get into school soon
