Some Servers Need to KNOW How to Take a Customer's Order

Feb 11, 2011 22:23

Some servers today don't know how to take your order in a restaurants. Sometimes, I honestly have had better luck getting my order correct at fast food restaurants at times. It's sad, it really is.

A good example, is twice I have ordered the garden salad at Red Lobster with saying "No tomatoes and No cucumbers." BOTH times, the servers made the side ( Read more... )

"Asking about burgers or sandwiches or anything that can be affected by the food that isn't on the side should ALWAYS be asked by the server if unsure, such as just because the menu states the burger for example comes with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, the customer may not realize it or just didn't read the menu or whatever, so it's a GOOD IDEA to asks if they want all those things on their burger or sandwich." So, wait, now it's okay for servers to ask? When you order a burger, YOU are to either specify dressings or sides. Often, the server will ask about a side, but that's it ( ... )

Why have my server or another server deliver my food then if they don't care WTF they "SERVE" me if it's got obvious errors or not? Why not just have the expo bring me my food then and leave my server or another server(especially since the tip isn't going to them anyways) OUT of it if you don't care about WTF you bring me, huh ( ... )

Just because the expediter plates the food with mistakes you don't have to touch to notice the mistake doesn't mean you have to ***BRING*** it to me in that manner. Once you leave the kitchen, any obvious errors are YOUR fault WHY they get to my table. If I don't have a side dish or a wrong side dish, that's on you if you took my order. You have written order to compare my food to, so no remembering necessary. If it's another server, they have a ticket, so unless the ticket is wrong, it's the other server's fault for me getting for example a missing or wrong side dish ( ... )

Why look like an idiot by bringing me something that I didn't have to TOUCH to notice the mistake if you could prevent that, huh? You wasted a trip that you wouldn't have had to make due to you not willing to TRY to find the mistake by comparing the written order or if it's another server, the ticket, to the food(assuming the ticket is correct if you are another server of course ( ... )

Re: Everything cont. springs1 February 20 2011, 18:17:04 UTC

Why write it down if you don't care what the FINAL result obviously looks like if you end up bringing out my food, huh? You might as well not bother, because whatever you put into the computer doesn't matter if the end result has obvious things wrong. You could put the order in wrong and even have it come out correctly. It's possible, not likely, but it's possible ( ... )

You are acting like your server(if it's your server that delivers the food), to be BLIND, NEED GLASSES,or ILLITERATE to blame an obvious problem that you don't have touch the food to notice the mistake on the expo ( ... )

Re: Everything cont. springs1 February 20 2011, 21:42:00 UTC

How can you blame the expo if they aren't the last person to BRING me my food? Whoever brings me my food is at fault for obvious errors like that unless it's another server that the original server put in the order wrong, then that would be the original server's fault, not the other server's fault ( ... )
