This man’s freestyle work on the people in the front was better than a lot of comedians’ prepared material. Props due.

[@arslanduha]

If the guy on the front went like ''that's why i'm at your show'' after the 3 star comment, his career would be close to being over.

[@Tykiari]

I mean, it is kind of a skill to play off of your audience like that. Bonus points if you can literally do that AND keep it in mind and spin it into a joke later in the show out of the blue xD

As a hotel employee, this is painful and something we hear a lot. People telling us we should have more/less stars, because of how good/bad we are, when in reality stars are not about quality

[@kayizziritah3029]

Interesting, I am one of those that thought it depended on quality

[@Nala.Pierre]

Wow, good to know.

[@Dont_be_negative]

Exactly. I have stayed in. A 3 stars hotel which was better than a 4 stars hotel. Stars is assigned on the basis of facilities I think.

[@iamdihan]

I think this video educated allot of people. Myself included

[@divinity176]

Well, yes - they are allocated on the basis of facilities but in practice there is generally a correlation between the quality of a hotel and the range of facilities. Not always, but generally speaking.

[@mwilson5449]

It's weird that people no longer understand that a hotel's "star" rating generally refers their amenities available (though yes it can be impacted by poor cleanliness/attractiveness/location etc). I wonder how that bit of common knowledge got lost.

[@craynak]

I forget this all the time 🫢

[@henmar354]

Im pretty sure literally 99% of people think its because of service and cleanliness

Yep, I once knew a really nice hotel which was only 3 star because they didn't have a lift!

Probably confusing it with review/rating systems also scoring things out of five stars.

I have a conspiracy theory about restaurants, I'm pretty sure some of them give you your drink, wait until you finish it, and then give you your food just so that you get another drink

[@jackl135]

That might be a fact..

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

Doubtful. I don't really drink, so my beverages are usually free refills. The people I'm out with usual get their food the same time I do, despite having alcoholic drinks. If I go out just my gf and I neither of us drink much, so the entire table (just us two) has free refills and the food still doesn't come any faster.

[@LexKaiNix]

It’s so you don’t get mad when your food takes forever, cos you have something in front of you. Stupid, I know.

[@JargonMadjin]

@@LexKaiNix This falls apart when you end up with an empty glass long before the food gets there, and I'm pretty sure starters are meant to fill in that job, some restaurants will give you a plate of garlic bread or something while they work on your main. Chances are that'll be gone long before your main gets there too

Yes so I'm not OK with this thing where restaurants think it's OK to start delivering peoples meals at different times I came here with somebody because I want to eat a meal with them at the same time. I don't want to watch somebody eat while I wait and then have them watch me eat while they wait. It's clearly a failing business plan. I've only run into a couple of restaurants that actually run it like that and most of the time people leave pissed off...

Dude, different foods take different amounts of time to cook. If a restaurant had to wait for an entire table's order to be ready before serving any of it, at least half of it would be stone cold or soggy. The only time I'd consider it unacceptable to be served in a staggered fashion would be if the food we each ordered took the same amount of time to cook.

I'm not sure why would you make up a problem that does not seem to exist, or can be easily avoidable if a restaurant bothered. The only time it would be acceptable to deliver food at different times would be if different people ordered different amount of dishes (for example one person ordered a soup and a steak and the other ordered only a burger).
