Take My EnergyStarstruck

I work at a sushi restaurant and the stupidity that comes in is staggering. Most of it has to do when people freak out that the fish is raw. Yeeaaahhhh dude that’s literally what sushi is.

Anyway, couple comes in to lunch the other day and orders the Omakase. It’s a multi course chefs choice best of the best. $110 a person. I explain first course will be sashimi, second course sushi, third course desert. They’re all smiles and thumbs up. We drop the absolutely massive bowl of sashimi. The smiles falter and within a minute I’m being called back to the table and they ask us to take back all this beautiful fish and cook it. I explain we can’t cook the fish but the chefs can sear it with a blowtorch. They want that. The chef spends about 10 minutes blasting each fish muttering “what’s worse than stupid? That’s what this is” we drop their now mangled food off, they take a bite, then ask for the check. “Do you want the sushi course?” “No” “how about the dessert to go?” “No”

This is where the debate came in. I was feeling extra spicy so I said keep the bill as it is, my self and the menu explained what the order was and they both had smartphones to do even a little googling on what they were about to spend $220 on. Another server felt bad and said they didn’t eat don’t charge them anything. We met in the middle and only charged them for one order. Which I believe was the correct move. The other server kept insisting that she felt bad because they were spending all this money in food they didn’t eat. I maintain that if you’re about to spend a lot of money on food you should be sure it’s food you’re going to enjoy. If you walk into a sushi restaurant, order the chefs choice, and are expecting cooked food that’s a level of either stupidity or ignorance that I will be charging you for.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Yesterday during the early dinner rush, there's like 5 open tables on the deck. We have a big white erase board stand that people have to walk by to get in that says "Please seat yourself at a CLEAN" table. Party of 3 comes in, sits down at one of my tables that has stuff all over it. She grabs me and is like "excuse me, can someone clean this table and bring us menus? I know we're not obeying the rules of your sign, sorry." People, I'm talking like plates of food, half beers, my tips, everything just there. The fucking audacity. I just ignored them for 10 minutes while I went and made my salads and soups. They of course tipped me nothing.

Next table comes in, menanites. My SA drops off menus and waters, comes back to tell me that they're ready to order right away. Cool, I was already on my way out to drop a check to the next table, no problem. I get to the table and introduce myself and ask if they want anything to drink and the dude just blurts out "ham and cheese sandwich!" I'm like, "sir, that's not a drink, and we don't even have a ham and cheese sandwich." He asks for Mac and cheese, we don't have that either. I explain we have everything on the menu right in front of his face and turn to his wife and ask her. She's deadass finger leading while looking at the salads page. "Do you guys have any salads?" Yes ma'am, everything on that page you're looking at. I'll give you guys a few minutes to look over everything because I have tables I need to get to.

I had people just moving tables willy nilly, like what the fuck dude, do people just go to your house and rearrange your furniture ??? Then they get upset when I ask them to move them back because they're blocking a whole fucking back section.

Sorry, I just needed to rant. Ahhhhhhhh!

Edit for more rage: had an 8 top walk in with only 2 of the party there. All my deck tables are 4 and 5 tops aside from 2 back tables that aren't protected. They tried moving tables first and I told them they can't do that. They tried moving chairs and told them the same, then told them I have room for them inside. They refuse to sit inside and instead ask me to ask a 2 top sitting at one of the big deck tables to move for them. "I'm sorry, but no, that's rude and I absolutely will not do that" wife agrees that it's rude and the husband gets huffy and storms off. She slipped me a 5 and said sorry as she tailed behind.
