When we plan to eat out or visit a bar for a cold mug of beer, we want it to be a wonderful experience. But sometimes things can turn out to be weird. The quality of food, or the service of the restaurant. When we don't get what we expect from a food outlet it is obvious to get furious. Your experience at a restaurant can be controlled by the people serving you. And some of them are so creative that despite all that has gone wrong, you can still return smiling. These are 50 times a waiter, a bartender or a server made it way too witty for the customer.
Starbucks' employees tend to write your name on the cup. In this case, the customer met a pretty funny server. When he decided to specify that his name is spelled as B-R-Y-A-N instead of B-R-I-A-N, this is what he received. Can't blame him. He did what was asked of him.
Certain shows make a really deep impact on millions of people across the globe. The fan base is so huge that you can come across spoilers at any time. Game Of Thrones is one of those shows. Game Of Thrones fans can get pissed off if they are offered with spoilers and this bartender seems to be one of the greatest GOT fans. So this is what he came up with on the counter of the bar.
We can relate to him. Coming up is an over-cautious waiter.
It can be irritating for a waiter to clean up a mess made by the customers. Sometimes when there is a rush at the restaurant, it's even more difficult. While some of them make their anguish evident. Some just act smartly. When this man spilled his drink and asked for another one, not only did the waiter cleaned up the spill but also served him the drink with a lid and a straw. Now, that would for sure prevent future hazards.
Customers can be demanding but it's really rude for anyone to snap, whistle or shout at waiters when they are busy serving other people. Now, if you happen to visit this restaurant, you'll be welcomed but no whistling. This waitress' t-shirt says it all. Wait until she's done serving others.
We wonder if it's the uniform or this lady here is very straight forward.
Some places have a really sweet way of presenting to their customers. This kid wasn't expecting anything like this when he ordered 'nothing' for dessert. The boy must have had a hearty laugh when he was presented with a plate with 'Nothing' written on it with chocolate syrup. That's sweet.
Even more warm welcome coming up next.
It is such a good feeling when someone notices minute details and uses them to bring a smile on your face. When this little girl entered the restaurant with PowerPuff Girls made on her t-shirt, the waiter decided to make it a splendid experience. This cute little drawing that the waiter presented with the order must have put a wide smile on the little girl's face. A thick tip awaiting!
What do you mean by a small bill? When a customer decided to go sassy with the waiters and asked for the bill to be really small (Of course in a funny manner), the waiter took him literally and brought this. Guess this is not something the customer meant. But the bill was indeed small. 10 points for the humor.
Tall servers can have serious problems with certain lighting fixtures in some restaurants. Those bizarre hanging lamps can frequently knock their heads. Frustrating, isn't it? Not for this particular guy. Instead of bending to avoid hitting the lamp he decided to wear it as a hat. Fits him well. Mark this place if you want to see some exciting lighting patterns.
At food outlets, we've often ordered things like a little bit of this or that. Don't do that at Cheesecake Factory if you don't want the servers to take you literally. A customer after finishing his food ordered for a little bit of coke and he received exactly a little bit of coke. We hope after the joke was done with he was served with what he had called for.
The best of waiters can spill foodstuff. Too many plates in your hand or a little nudge from some customers. In this case, though the waiter dropped only one french fry. The customer wouldn't even have noticed if the waiter would not have come up with this. He brought a plate with the replacement of the one fry that he had dropped. We're sure the order is full now.
They say it's an art to carry your criticism. And restaurants have a lot of customers rate them bad for several reasons. A customer rated this outlet bad for not offering good service. Instead of letting it sink, the servers at this place decided to print the comment on a t-shirt and wear it while working. Know a better way to turn criticism into a comical situation?
We all have one friend in our group whom if we ask to take a photo of us, ends up clicking a bunch of petty selfies. But can we expect the same from a Waffle House employee? A customer asked a waiter to click a couple of photos of him and his friend, this is what the camera roll was filled with when they received the phone back. He would lose his tip if he didn't get a single image of the customers.
There are times when we want to be alone and some of us head towards a restaurant where nobody would bother us. While this girl sat on the table crying, the waiter was busy trying to make her smile. The order was delivered like this. Keep Smiling written on the plate with a cute smiley made out of cream and sauce. This certainly brought an instant smile on her face and she returned the gesture by shaping the sauce to make it a Thank You.
Read the next slide before you demand some more of your order.
Adding lemon to your drink can make it refreshing. Only asking for more and more can irritate the waiter. When a customer decided to ask the waiter to add more lemon to his drink, the server made sure that the customer is left short of nothing. Eight lemons in a drink. Quite refreshing.
The one problem with late night restaurants is that it can be boring for the waiters. Late at night, they don't have many customers to attend to and this can surely make them feel snoozy. This waiter, however, was responsible enough to leave a note before he dozed off. We hope he wasn't fired for this act.
It can sometimes be difficult for elderly people to bear the chill of the restaurants but only a few times can we find restaurants to be so cooperative. When this old lady was uncomfortable with the cold, the waiter offered her a tablecloth that surely gave her some warmth.
Sometimes customers can be unapologetically rude to the people serving them. And when one is high of adult beverages, things can turn ugly. This customer might have behaved in an unwelcoming way but the bartender had a perfect answer. Every time he would take a smoke break or go out to use the restroom, the bartender flipped the stool and kept the beer mug on the leg.
Certainly annoying but a just answer.
We all know how hard waiters and bartenders have to work to earn a living. And all that puts a smile on their face is a big tip for their service. This waitress had put on torn shoes which she wanted to change. To add a tinge of humor and attract the customers to tip her well, one of her colleagues wrapped the torn shoe with plastic and wrote, "Tip me for new shoes". We're sure this trick worked.
After the little coke incident, came a similar situation only a bit crueler. When a customer ordered a small cold one in a bar the waiter decided to play a joke and this is what he brought. We hope this was only for fun and the customer was later obliged with what he had ordered.
I am sure you have come across situations where you were not able to finish the full order in one sitting. Thankfully, most of the food outlets allow you to get the leftover packed. When a lady asked the server to pack her plate, he took it too literally and packed her 'plate'.
When a sick customer walked into this restaurant, and the waitress wanted to make her feel better, she came up with a wonderfully delicious idea and made a pancake-shaped as Pacman and served it with these little ones. This must have boosted the sick lady emotionally and made her happy.
No, she is not someone who won that much money in a poker game. She is the bartender who after a tiring day of work just fell asleep on the pool table with all the hard earned tips she had collected. It must have been a long day.
While some people love pickles in their burger many just don't enjoy it. This customer though hates it so much that he told the waiter that he could destroy a city for each pickle that he found in his burger. The waiter took the joke seriously and served three vinegary cucumbers with a little note with the names of three cities written on it.
When you work in a restaurant or bar for a long time, you build long-lasting friendships. When this waitress decided to quit her job all her colleagues decided to throw the last supper. The picture shows how they did it. I think I have seen it somewhere, have you?
How may I help you? It is a good thing to print on a restaurant staff's t-shirt. But it doesn't seem as sweet in here. The restaurant's name printed in the middle makes it sound like something else. For those of you who still couldn't get it, the t-shirt now says: How May I Pho King Help You?
That is something cool to print on a bartender's t-shirt. We've all had an experience when a bartender, male or female has hit on you. Might just be for a good tip but proclaiming it in the open, hats' off man!
Many of us are too conscious about the amount of lactose we take in and for such people ordering a dessert can be pretty difficult. When one such customer was visiting a restaurant on his birthday, the waiter did not want him to feel left out and hence brought in bread roll covered with chocolate syrup. Not exactly a dessert but anything sweet without lactose would do.
The cheesiest flirt masquerading as a waiter. When this man behind the counter of a Starbucks liked a customer he had the best way to express. I am not sure if he did that only for an extra tip or something else but whatever he might have got in return must have been good.
There are times when servers are not very fond of the customer they are serving. They want them to leave as early as possible and say a few mean words as well. But protocol prohibits them to do any of this. But this doodle that a waiter present to the customer with the cheque had a lot to say.
Working on holidays can be frustrating and when this bartender had to work all through the night on Halloween's, he decided to dress like this. The customers who came in were fascinated with his dressing and he finally won the Halloween award.
If you've been to Denny's, apart from all the good food and grand slam meal what you must remember is how good the waiter was. Now, this might have been a slow day and the waiter decided to have some fun with the customer's receipt. He made doodles in each of them and look how good they turned out to be.
You need something apart from hard work to master this art. At this local restaurant, you will find waiters cleaning plates like this. While you may be fascinated it's only common for people regular to this place.
A guy with his friend visited a coffee shop and the waiter heard the friend say the Latte is for pussies. When the guy ordered one, this is what he received. That is some art fanatic working as a barista.
When a lady at some restaurant heard another lady being rude to the waitress, she decided to comfort her by saying that she was doing a good job. In return, this is what the waitress left as a note for the good lady.
All through this, we've met a lot of rude customers and some cool waiters. This one though could not bear the behavior of some rude customer and decided to confront like this. A bit too straight forward but I am sure the customer would never misbehave with another waiter.
This food outlet in Detriot seems to be a favorite. Either they are short on funds to hire new servers or they like to flaunt this style of serving. Might be getting them, new customers. It went quite viral on the internet. I just hope no customer nudges him for an extra bun.
When this customer decided to mess with an Irish barista who carried a good sense of humor, he had to face consequences. The cup might not have been filled but the server wasn't happy when asked to fill it full.
Bartenders sometimes have a long day, especially when they meet a few haughty customers under the influence of alcohol. This bartender decided to hide her anguish with a costume. I am not sure why she choose this but no other customer was ever rude.
A thank you can go a long way. When servers attend to you with all dedication, all they expect after the end of service is a thank you. But when one customer decided to skip thanks, the waiter thanked himself. He wrote this in bold and made sure that the customer would remember that in the future.
This bartender has a funny way of judging people according to their choice of drinks. When this lady ordered Vodka and soda with mango, the tender had exactly what he needed. A little cute teddy bear to go with the drink. Who does Vodka with Mango? I agree with the bartender.
