[@rebeccatompkins]

I see you worked in hospitality. This is deathly accurate and funny.

[@nicole7884]

Had this thought too I can't believe how accurate and well researched it is. In Australia where I am also from we don't tip as a standard there's just a tip jar on the counter that gets shared out once a week. So included something for the Americans because I've never thought have to do x for tips.

[@danz9093]

@@nicole7884 in casual fine dining or fine dining, tips are more common than daytime cafes (no matter how good they are) in Australia. If a table spends $200-400, it can vary from $10-50 depending on how used to eating out they are and how good the service was

[@natmansmash]

Its not a thing, its rubbish coming from the American market. We don't do that in AU. Don't stress, and do not tip!!

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@nicole7884 It depends on the restaurant. I had the boss of the Chinese restaurant I worked at always tell me that any tips I earned were my own and gave me hints on how to get more - apparently in his restaurants it was common for people to be tipped. We also got tips in the training restaurant I worked at - at the end of the year we'd split the tips up amongst all of us trainess (about 20 or so). One year (I did 2-3 years in that restaurant) we got about 200 each, mainly because we fielded a few higher end parties that year that tipped horrendously well. Otherwise it was about 20-50, which we just decided to spend on a party at the end of the year instead. Then I got the fuck outta that business and went into factory work instead since it was less customer facing. Now i'm working at a law office. XD

"Moderate to high fear of chefs" No joke, my chef-anxiety is what caused me to leave the entire industry. They're so mean - or at least, all the ones I worked with were. Like, it doesn't matter _who_ actually fucked up the order & set the whole kitchen back at dinnertime on a Saturday night; if _you're_ the nearest -scapegoat- waiter, then _you're_ the one they're going to unleash on while thoughtlessly brandishing the 20cm knife that they forgot in their pique they were already holding at the time.

I hear you. I waitressed for 5 years and got yelled at a million times by chefs. They are scary.

[@whollyraw]

I got a pot thrown at me on my first night waitressing in a new ( to me ) place!!! Chefs are frightening!

[@danz9093]

Ehhhh, spent about 22 years in hospo over the past 30 years. Old school chefs were a lot more fiery. Most new gen chefs over the past 10 -15 years are pretty relaxed (although still very disciplined and no-nonsense). Depends how much lee-way foh has in being hosts vs servants and being able to manage customer expectations in my experience. I really get along with almost every chef I've worked with as I'm in constant dialogue with them about what's going on and if there are any potentially problematic customers that really look for excuses to be dissatisfied... Even then, a good place will let you or at least the head waiter politely but firmly ask the customer to either leave or never come back.

[@aztralsea]

Oh and the sexual harassment we endured. The groping, touching, insinuations from customers, chefs and managers! 25 years ago men could get away with murder, I'm not sure about nowadays. I had a manager once ask me if I'd be his plus 1 to a swingers night...eeeeck he was also married. He also then revealed he had hired me because I looked like his ex and he wanted to duck me. Surprisingly as a Gen X it didn't phase me too much, we where acclimatised to sexual harassment and being objectified. shocking.

My chef fear was so real one time had a customer complain the steak was undercooked so I just snuck the whole plate into the microwave for a minute handed it back and the person was happy.

[@andreagriffiths3512]

Much harder when they overcook the steak. I don’t work hospitality but finding a chef who can cook rare is not easy. Mostly it comes out as medium. If you’re lucky, medium rare. One time it was well done. Like why give customers the choice if it’s only ever going to come as medium or higher? And no, I didn’t complain because it might have been overcooked but it still tastes good and there’s a person in my group who’ll complain about everything and I refuse to be like that! Extremely wealthy and bitched about a meal we all (waitress included) told her she wouldn’t like. Funny how she didn’t like it! I can’t imagine why she ordered it other than to try to get it free. The rest of us stood our ground and backed up the waitress and the ‘friend’ had to pay for it.

[@nicole7884]

@@andreagriffiths3512 That was really nice of you so many mangers and seniors side with the customer so it's hard if your perceived at fault if all you did was serve the food. Bur I'm a food advocate if you don't like it send it back your paying for it so have the food you pay for. So a lot of industrialised flat grills are temperature regulated and therefore all the steaks are cooked at the same temp and if the chef is distracted it's typical for all the steaks to be cooked at the same rate for the same time
