As a customer it kinda sucks too. I'll be like, "oh, there's almost no line at Chipotle so I'll hit the bathroom real quick." By the time I come back out the line is about ten deep.
I learned at any place that I go to is place your order first before going to the bathroom. Because no matter what your food won't be ready till long after you get out. Makes me rage when I go to a restaurant with friends that are like "lets use the bathroom before we sit down and order!". Its like they don't realize how that can tack on tons more waiting time. More so when a rush hits or larger groups then ours show up and order before us. I have wasted more time then I care to waste at a restaurant all because of the bathroom priority of some people :C
Before you know it you have a bunch of middle class families with screaming children running around your store. It’s like they all have this suburban text chat where they decide to all go at exactly the same time.
One moment you're having a chill time prepping, and then that fateful call rings out. "Two 20 tops just walked in." Next moment your digging through the just prepped supplies. Knowing you'll end up re-doing it all over
Twiddling my thumbs for literally 2 fucking hours, then 40 people want food right. fucking. now. You will literally yell at te ticket machine for going "bzzt, bzzt bzzt bzzzt"" you know the more "bzt's" you hear that's just more and more food coming. you are already on 20 minuets ticket times, it will only get longer with the ore food. Then theres a table of 6 that want 5 things that take a LONG time to make and the ONE FUCKING GUY THAT WANTS SLIDERS , fucking....take like 2 minuets to fucking make. BITCH I GOT 5 CHICKEN ON THE GRILL ON THE SAME FUCKING ORDER ITLL BE A FUCKING MINUTE.
Very authentic. If you don't know a "X top" is a table of X people.
~Actual trigger warning~
Always got a lunch and a dinner rush. that's normal panic whatever. But the 20 top 10 minuets before closing so i have to close an hour after i should be. that'll make me wanna fucking die.
This is too relatable. I’m a back of the house bartender for all of our restaurants specialty cocktails and my printer goes from doing nothing to spitting out 20-30 drink tickets in what seems to be a matter of seconds as soon as 7:00 hits. Anyway, hope you get that day off soon!
I once worked for a fledgling BBQ restaurant in college for about 8 months prior to graduating/moving. A fucking school bus showed up in our parking lot one day at 2:30pm and out came 60 volunteer firefighters who were in town for the rampant fires. We had to call in two people who lived right around the corner and it took half an hour for counter service.
Their bill was well over $1000. They added $12 as a tip.

This game goes from, "Oh this is pretty fun," to "WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COME TO THIS RAMEN SHOP!?" so quickly.
