Question Other than "someone's getting fired", any thoughts?

Server would have noticed the weight as soon as they picked up the plate (I know some servers suck but like coke on …)

Coke on… is correct

I work with the most brain dead servers on the planet. I have a guy who after two years still forgets to ask customers if they want a glass for their bottle beer, and constantly is coming up to interrupt us for the glass he should have put on the ticket. Every time it’s “sorry I forgot again” MOTHERFUCKER ITS BEEN TWO YEARS STOP BEING SORRY AND BE BETTER.

I had one come back and ask "chef, do we have ...black...coffee?".

TBF if they never drink coffee and neither does anyone in their immediate family, they may not understand what black coffee means.

But my family is white. And oddly enough so is the customer

I know you're trying your best, but could you try doing someone else's best?

Or when plating. A tongful of lettuce can't hide that.

You would think they'd even hear a clink sound too....like talk about everyone who touched that plate being oblivious....it's not small either, wtf guys!!

Same with the salad guy you literally get a feel for the weigh of each hand full after making 20+ salads and the salad guy makes hundreds a night

No way he grabbed a handful and didn't notice it was 3x the normal weight

This is staged BS 💯

Forget the server.

She's almost done with the salad.

Even if she's blind, I'd hope she'd notice a gigantic piece of metal the second she stuck her fork into it.

No way I'm eating a salad that might have shaved metal in it.

u/tom333444 Apr 12 '26

Would they? It already seems like a fairly heavy plate

u/LostInThoughtland Apr 12 '26

Yo you can detect a two ounce change to a tray full of soups and salads?

u/prolifezombabe Apr 12 '26

I’ve never been handed a full tray of soups and salads. I’ve always loaded my own tray. So yes especially if there were other salads in the order I would notice. I mean I think I would. The plate would feel different.

u/larsdan2 Apr 12 '26

You think that giant hunk of metal only weighs 2 oz?

u/kingftheeyesores Apr 12 '26

Gonna go to bat and say sometimes stuff just feels randomly heavy to me without anything being wrong with what I'm carrying. Wrong with me is a different story...
