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 |

I was talking to a contractor last week who was frustrated. He's working 40+ hours a week... Mowing his butt off... And barely clearing $1,800 a week. He couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong. So I asked him one simple question: "How much time are you spending in your truck between jobs?" Long pause. "I dunno... maybe 15 minutes between each one?" There's your problem. See, most guys think the key to making more money is working harder or getting more customers. But the real money isn't...
I was talking with a contractor last week when he told me about the time he bought a commercial mower from a big online retailer. He said he saved maybe $200 compared to his local dealer. Felt pretty smart about it too. Until three weeks later when the hydro system started leaking fluid all over his trailer. He called the retailer... got transferred four times... and finally got told he'd need to ship it back for warranty work. Ship it back. A 600-pound mower. At his expense. And wait 4-6...
Here is the email formatted for maximum readability and impact, keeping the wording exactly as you provided. I added a subject line based on the content since one wasn't included. Once upon a time, I got an email from a contractor, and he told me about a worker who rolled the mower on its side like a toy. Back when I had workers on the crew, I had the same problem. You always had to explain it. And if you didn't... Well, you'd find out the hard way. See, when you need to clean under a mower...
