Every restaurant owner needs to make their staff watch this video!

I highly doubt that, Feminism has not hit the service industry there yet.

 

This is a restaurant franchise called "Dicks Last Resort".....it is a novelty restaurant where you and the waiter/waitress get to be the biggest "dicks" you want to be (get where the name comes from? ). The first time I went in this chain I was clueless to what it was and while waiting to be seated a waitress yelled over to me and said, "Hey d*mbass, you just going to stand there or you going to take a seat? Waiting on you! (big eye roll)". If you go to this restaurant you better bring your trash-talking "A" game because the staff get a whole lot of practice at being pricks and have probably heard every thing you can bring to the table at least 10 times that day. The staff will be extremely rude (as shown in the video) and tear you apart....but it's all part of the game. (Tip: Go to a bank and get $15 bucks in pennies to leave as a tip. And FFS, look at the menu online and know what you are going to order before you go in there! Not that they don't have some nasty sh*t to say about everything you could possibly order. )

Dick's Last Resort

Edit: Correction, this is not Dicks Last Resort....it's a chain in Chicago that offers the same "experience" as Dick's. Apparently this theme of restaurant isn't as rare as one might think in the US. Either way, the staff's attitude is all part of the "show".

 

People regularly pay $20k+ to get married in the West (aka reserving a spot in a line that gives you a 50/50 chance to give half your crap away to a person you probably really don't even like)......I think people looking to get married should be forced to go to this type of restaurant before they tie the knot to see if marriage is actually something they would like.

Joking aside, the service I got at Dicks was very good (minus the attitude) and the food was excellent. If I had a choice between a smile and crappy service (usually what you get in the Philippines) or insults and excellent service I'd pick the latter every single time. I'm not going to restaurants to make friends or have someone smile at me, I'm going there because I'm lazy and don't feel like cooking for myself and I want that food to be served as fast and efficiently as possible. As long as you can provide that I don't care if you hate me , hate your job or if you call me names while providing that service.....I'm paying for the service and food, not a good attitude from a person I don't know and give two sh*ts about. (I actually find that "bubbly" attitude many servers in the US have very annoying. Makes me want to smack that fake smile right off their faces. )

 

I still contend that if you open up a dialog of sorts and tip well, you should get great service in the Philippines. That has been my full experience and I commend all the servers I know and consider them great at what they do.

 

Well at least you know how she really feels. Lol I would really appreciate hearing that and then treat her accordingly every time I I had the pleasure of being around her. (She would get to know how big of an *sshole I can really be...all in good fun of course. )

Disagree. My end goal is to be able to walk in a restaurant or business and not have to say a word to any of the staff.

Examples: today I went to get a haircut. Sat down and didn't say a word. Barber did exactly what was needed. He gets a good tip, the more he talks to me the less he gets.

When I go to Why Not I make eye contact with the server, my drink magically appears a few moments later. Eye contact with the girl running the pool tables my name goes on the list. When I run out of rum I raise my glass, it gets replaced with a full glass a few moments later. If I raise my smokes I get 2 packs of smokes delivered to the table. I tip well because of this.

Happy Jack's waitresses do the same with my drinks.

Flip Flops waitresses somehow know me by name and ask if I want a rum coke when I sit down without a word from me. I tip well there.

For me, silence is golden. I usually only want to speak to staff when I'm ordering something of the menu.
