Is This the Worst Waiter Ever? The Story That's Dividing the Internet
|
I read an article today, and I couldn't believe it. A guy who works as a waiter in a restaurant has gone viral on Tick Tock for all the wrong reasons. He actually stated that "said that his “favorite part” of his job is “punishing people for poor behavior at the restaurant.” He went on to say that when customers decide to sit in his section without waiting to be seated, he will let them sit at the table for around 20 minutes until they eventually flag him down to alert him that nobody helped them. He says, ‘Nobody’s helped you? There’s dirty plates, what are you talking about? You guys already ate,’” “They go, ‘These aren’t ours. Then he says, "‘Did you guys come in and seat yourselves and not talk to anybody?’” After the customers confirm that they grabbed the first table they saw without people sitting at it, He replies: “That’s not how restaurants work. Get up. We have to go talk to the hostess. There’s a 30-minute wait.” Some customers may not realise that they need to wait to be seated. It can be an honest mistake, but the bad taste of this waiter's treatment will live on forever. Although he received a lot of praise for standing up to so-called badly behaved customers, I personally think that he is in the wrong job. Once those 1-star reviews start flooding in, his boss will probably come to the same conclusion. It is sad that he feels this way about his customers. What is even sadder is the amount of support he has on the Tic Tok platform. But don't worry—it's not all doom and gloom. With all this bad customer service around, it's easier for our businesses to shine by treating our customers well. By providing good service, we built one of the largest non-franchised lawn mowing businesses in NZ's fourth-largest city. Good old-fashioned service will always be one of the best ways to grow your business. It costs nothing, and the rewards can be huge. You can learn more about how we grew our business in the lawnmowing101 membership. Sometimes, people overlook the simple stuff, so don't be that guy. Anyway, until next time. Get out there, mow lawns, and have fun. Stuart |

The clouds are rolling in again. You’re sitting in the truck, looking at a lawn that’s starting to look like a swamp, and you’ve got a decision to make. Do you push through and get it done? Or do you pack it in, head home, and watch your schedule (and your profit) for the week go up in smoke? It’s one of the biggest headaches in the game. If you mow, you risk clogging the deck, tearing up the turf with ruts, and getting a call from a pissed-off homeowner. If you don't mow, you’re staring at a...
It’s the most common question I get from guys in the game: "How much should I actually be paying myself?" Most owner-operators fall into the same trap. They work a massive week, watch the invoices get paid, and then just take whatever is "left over" in the bank account to cover the mortgage and groceries. If that’s how you’re running things, you’re just a "mower" with a job. To build a business that actually supports your family and grows over time, you have to stop taking the leftovers and...
You’ve had a massive week. You’ve put in the hours, mowed the lawns, and dealt with the heat. You’re back at the house, the mower is in the trailer, and you’ve got that "good tired" feeling from a hard day's graft. But then you open your bank app. The money came in, sure, but it seems to leak back out just as fast. Between the fuel, the equipment maintenance, the insurance, and that unexpected repair that cost you half a day’s profit on Wednesday, the "win" feels a lot smaller than it should....
