Episode 25 of 2023, what do you have for me? Lets complain about those complaining customers, aka the "cuntstomer". Why do we have to pay extra for whip cream Starbucks? Servers sometimes the customer can hear you complain about their table. RIP to the customers who went to Panera bread for a lemonade.
Who doesn't love a famous person in their restaurant? Actually plenty of employees say they are the worst! Lets talk about a recent video that was all over social media. David aka El Presidente of Barstool, likes to go around and review pizza's. Not only does he review them but apparently he also saves small businesses, according to the video that he made. It didn't seem too convincing. He wants to critique people, so we will critique him. Let's save all small business pizzerias'.
What kind of restaurant stays open after 100 violations? A buffet I guess. Join us while we talk about co-workers who like to stay and hang out after they clock out. Also does any restaurant actually give handbooks any more? What happened to them? Do we not sign them any more? Speaking of handbooks can we also talk about NON-SLIP SHOES. The most important part of a restaurant uniform policy. Also how fresh are your Panera/bread bagels ? Find out on on this episode. Enjoy
Hello, welcome to the restaurant where we serve the people we recently sat down, instead of the people who have been waiting patiently for 15 minutes. We understand that servers have stuff to do, but if they are not ready for tables, why sit them? Had a bad experience at a Mex restaurant and we are not going back. We really like to talk a lot about our experiences at restaurants, specially the expensive ones that always assume you cant afford a glass of champagne. I hope Riches face doesn't put you guys to sleep and my horrible jokes JAJA!
What do we love about eating out ? The cleanliness? The fact you don't have to wash dishes? The atmosphere? Not worrying about allergies? Most of us agree on all of these, but can we also agree that one of the most important things is not having a pile of dog poop next to your table. As employees we know that it is part of our job to clean after the customer, however it is not our job to clean up after your dog. We understand service pets exist, that is the reason some dogs are allowed in restaurants. Your pet is just YOUR pet, not the employees or the other customers. Customers would really appreciate clean food that is fur free. So please leave your jobless pet at home. Thank you we appreciate your business.
"Can we get a booth" "Can we sit somewhere quite" " Is my table ready"? So many questions so little time. Lets talk about how The Host is always the one staff that gets all the questions we can't say "YES" to. We can try to accommodate, if we are not busy but if we are busy on a Saturday night and you did not make reservations well tough shit, the wait is 30 to 45 minutes. "Is my delivery ready'? "it will be another 5 minutes" If you are a deliver driver and you have no patience what so ever do not deliver. As a delivery driver you are not our boss, you cannot tell us what to do. Either take the deliveries or don't, but you cannot rush delicious meals. The host is an easy job, so easy 14 year old kids do it, but you have to have a great smile and be with good conversations. Let us know about your experience as a host.
ATT Managers stop copy paste the schedule. Do you think mothers get the boot when it comes to getting hired? Lets talk about mom hours, and why we get mistreated with schedules. Here we are 5 days later, still no job. It was a difficult decision, but you know deep in your heart I will go back to my previous jobs. Lets refresh back to my previous episode 18 when I decided to quit my JOB and see what my co-host has to say. Job searching can be crazy nowadays lets see how long it takes this time.
Employees call it "wage theft". Managers call it "a glitch in the system". Have you ever worked for a company that say they will pay you x amount but they paid you -x amount? I have. It's pay day and your paycheck looks very different. Want to know why I just quit my 3rd job of the year? Should I have contacted the Labor Department? Let me know what you would have done in my situation. It just wouldn't be a podcast unless you add your personal life to it.
Part 2, A slice of reality. We try not to be negative but listeners need to start to realize that we are just a regular couple trying to "make it". Just a conversation about risking it all just to become your own boss. I promise we weren't half naked !
The holiday season can be stressful! Specially for supermarkets. Join us and lets talk about how people never put their product back where they found it. Customers always leaving a big mess behind, and why we can never say cumin correct? Food is very expensive for you to just leave it any where. This is our first time making a video podcast and even though we cant afford any upgrades at the moment we had to make 2 separate episodes for the same topic, from the same night . I know crazy times ! Hope you join us for part 2 !
We sure miss telling stories about our lives or is life? Do you ever want to stay on topic ? So do we, but we never can. I'm not sure why I am allowed to record while I am intoxicated, but next time I need to wait until we start recording. Sometimes is not great to listen to all my non-sense while I'm drunk not to mention that my kids walked in on us while we were recording (the podcast). Come and listen to our Poddie! As always this podcast might not be suitable for very one, ENJOY!
