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 |

Hey Reader I found something interesting...I don't normally share stuff until I know it works. But I've been quietly testing some SEO blogging software over the past few months, and I think it's worth keeping you in the loop, even at this early stage. The idea is simple. It writes high-quality SEO posts for local business websites automatically. Run it long enough and you start ranking for a ton of local keywords without doing much at all. I've had it running on my main lawnmowing101 website...
Hey Reader If your week is packed but your bank account still looks thin at the end of it, that's not a working-harder problem. That's a running-the-business problem. I see it all the time. Great mowers. Clean edges. Happy customers. But the cash just doesn't add up the way it should. Usually it comes down to a few things: — Pricing that covers the job but not the drive time, the admin, or the equipment wearing out — A route spread across too many suburbs eating fuel and hours between stops —...
Things can change People can move on, have a change in circumstances, Anything can happen. And that's when you get the breakup email, text, or call. Normally we ask, "Just for our records, can I get a reason for the cancelation?” The way they answer this question will dictate what we do next. If it's a money thing, we say we are sorry to hear that. call us back anytime and we ask for a review If they are moving, we wish them the best with their move and ask for a review. If we don't hear...
