Who was in the wrong here?
The waitress, obviously.
>>219784014i curse the uk for unleashing him upon the world
>>219784079there's way worse than him like james corden or john oliver. ricky gave us this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg_cwI1Xj4M
>>219784014The waitress. She needs a good dicking.
this would never happen outside of a comedy skitwho cares if you order of the childrens menu, my retarded uncle doesnt eat anything other than bread and chips
>>219784014It's a loss leader. Restaurants sometimes offer discounted food for children. It's meant to attract families to the restaurant. The idea is that the kids eat cheap, but the real money is made from the adults. So if 5 adults show up with 2 kids, the restaurant takes a hit with the kids, but makes a big profit from the 5 adults. The system doesn't work if all the adults order from the kids menu. That's why restaurants say only kids can order from the kids menu. Its sort of like how supermarkets have really cheap milk and bread to draw in customers. They take a hit on the bread, but expect customers to buy more expensive other items.Or Like how Costco sells 5 dollar whole roasted chickens. Customers visit to pick up a chicken, but while they are at Costco they decide to also buy a few other things.
>>219784014Gervais for not having any pride in himself as a man.
>>219784240Then offer smaller proportions at smaller prices so you don't have to throw out the food. Is food waste less important than profit?
>>219784222I guarantee this has happened in America more than once. Normie retail employees are crazy about following rules like this. They don't have much going on in their brain so simple rules like corporations have provide valuable structure to their lives. They live for the rules. Like that quote from rolling thunder - you have to learn to love the rope.
>>219784079>he's bad because uhh uhh he doesn't believe in muh GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will side with gervais because I hate npc people who short circuit when you tell them to act off-script
>>219784373I worked in a restaurant for years and nobody ever got told "no" for ordering something on the menu unless we were out of it.
If you like to travel you'll get culture shocked by how except USA and maybe Japan, the rest of the world doesn't have that kind of service culture.
>>219784240It's not discounted. It's a smaller amount of lower quality food for children, because they're small and not picky. You can get a dozen fish fingers for 2 pounds without even going wholesale. It's not a loss leader.
>>219784014>Who was in the wrongWhoever dreamt up and wrote this shitty scene. Any normal person would accept the answer of "No" and order something else or go to a different restaurant.
>>219784014I hate the children's menu gatekeeping, the edgy atheist is correct in this instance.I'm paying for it, it's a smaller portion, so who gives a fuck who eats it?
>>219784601>it's a skit about an "and then everyone clapped" argument the writer had in his headThese always stick out like a sore thumb
>>219784373>They don't have much going on in their brain so simple rules like corporations have provide valuable structure to their livesOh I thought it was they just didn't want to be fired. What a relief to know they're actually just superstupid!
>>219784222>this would never happenYou have never had a job where you had to deal with the public have you?
>>219784601Yeah a normal person wouldnt be ever petty and cruel to wagies. Especially not a parent. Fucking electric jews are trying to demoralize us!
>>219784653Everything is a conspiracy or magic to stupid people>Uh retail employees enforce the rules out of spite. It's not because they don't want to get in trouble!
>>219784014I mean this doesn't happen in real life tho. She'd just take the order and that'd be that.So the person in the wrong here is OP, for being a faggot.
>>219784738I've been refused the children's menu food plenty of times, and I'm not even American.
>>219784750No you haven't.
>>219784779Yes I have.
>>219784750did you break into a grade school?
>>219784014the cunt waitress. I would karen-max this situation
>>219784876No, just regular dine-in restaurants in Australia
>>219784014If you are not hungry then why are you in a restaurant in the first place?
>>219784935or just order a regular meal and take half home
>>219784653how are you gonna fire someone for giving an adult a kids meal? how do you even track that shit? what a bullshit excuse.>>219784373>They don't have much going on in their brain so simple rules like corporations have provide valuable structure to their livesit's more like they get a little bit of authority and go on a power trip
A restaurant would not be sustainable if everyone ordered off the kids menu
>>219784014Ricky for being a fat ugly cunt
>>219785025No normal person is ordering from the kids menu you moron. Have you seen the portions? You would be paying $5 to remain hungry.
>>219784014I fucking hard when entitled people do shit like this. You were told no, so it's a no. You don't like it? Go open your own restaurant. Where the fuck do you get the balls to go into someone's business and tell them how they should be running it? Whatever he orders is getting spit in.
>>219784601The entire show is Gervais thinking up scenarios where he wins whilst being an obnoxious prick. And copious usage of the word 'cunt'.
>>219784601Nigga I see people lording over wagies like they're some great seer giving them puzzles or testing them all the time and I'm not even in customer service. A waitress doing this is just asking for no tip though, even if UK isn't a big tipping culture.
>>219784286>>219784565They don't throw out the food. The portions ARE smaller. It's a loss leader in the sense that the restaurant isn't making much (if any) profit with the meal.
>>219784014So how often do famous people write and star in scenes where a customer service rep is super unreasonable for them? I'm not saying it hasn't happened but fuck it feels like a common occurrence for them.
>>219785131if they're giving smaller portions they're not making a loss on it. stop the bullshit
>>219785205a smaller profit is a loss
>>219784373Nobody works a shitty job like that dealing with assholes like you on a daily basis because they think it’s awesome. It typically means that they need the money, and don’t have the luxury of fucking around and risk losing their job. The problem is that if you start making exceptions for people to be nice, they start expecting it all the time. I used to work at Papa John’s as a delivery guy, and there was some old guy who the guy at the oven always put extra pepperoncinis in the box for, and nobody in the store cared enough to make a big deal of. One day, they put one in the box, and the fucking ingrate put in a corporate complaint. It went from a favor to a thing that he was just owed.If you’re not 55, you can’t order from the senior menu, and if you’re not a child, you can’t order from the children’s menu. Got a problem, go get a fucking McMuffin.
>>219785228>a smaller profit is a loss
>>219785120The UK isn’t a tipping culture at all lol except maybe some Americanised faggots in london
>>219784014he's looking tired.>>219784079don't know why he became famous, perhaps through sheer lack of ANY kind of comedy due to everything becoming incredibly stale.he started our on a shitty late night joke news program called the 11 clock show, the same place where ali g cohen came from, and wasn't funny on that. was a bit odd when he suddenly became known and then went over to the states.
>>219785205>they're not making a loss on it.You don't get it.The kids meal is priced under what competition charges in the local area. Normally restaurants wouldn't even bother with offering such small meals. It's not worth the effort.They only do it so families can come and spend more money. The adult meals is where they make real money.
>>219785633>The kids meal is priced under what competition charges in the local areasounds like a bunch of baloney to me. no restaurant with proper management is taking a loss on something they sell.This is just some bullshit justification to not provide the customer with the meal requested.
>>219785410restaurants already barely make money so yes
>>219784373I've seen stupider things done in small places as well as in chain restaurants.it comes from them being greedy, low iq and either being outright liars or indeed blindly following rules set by a nut job.sometimes it's a petty power thing, imagine working in one of those shitholes, they have nothing else in their lives and want to feel control over other people.have had waiters even in semi decent places lie through their teeth.>went to restaurant with 8 people, all ordering meals, drinks, etc, table full of plates>I ask for a glass of water since I wasn't drinking alcohol that night>first waiter lies, says the tap water is poisonous and I'd have to order an expensive, large bottle of water>I say no then.>wait for another wait to pass, ask for the same, he says "yeah sure" and happily brings the glass of tap watersaw the greasy liar seething afterwards, I forget if I held the glass up to him thereafter.never went there again and advised everyone against it.trying to charge an a few coins extra when the group was spending hundreds.
>>219784222this lmao, a restaurant making such a retarded rule as "adults can't order from the kids menu" is already ridicolous enough, and a waitress caring so much about said stupid rule to the point that she'd rather argue with the customer makes this scenario even more unlikely
>>219784240Did you ask ChatGPT for these amazing words of wisdom? Because you've obviously never actually visited a restaurant in your life, or indeed owned any sort of business. Cheap customers are just part of the cost of doing business. The idea that a restaurant would refuse service if you didn't place a big enough order is so absurd that it's the very fucking reason it's being portrayed here in a comedy skit, you fucking moron. Comparing a restaurant to a supermarket is also retarded beyond belief. You're trying to sound clever because you heard the term "loss leader" once without really understanding it, or when it actually applies. Many such cases! I see dumb fucks calling things that clearly aren't one "loss leaders" all the time online.
>>219784014I love how petty this is on all sides.
>>219784222>who cares if you order of the childrens menuYou'd be shocked how many people in service industry jumpscare you with some completely made up horseshit out of nowhere.
>>219784601>any normal person would be a pushover faggotSpeak for yourself.
>>219784014I mean while hate our tip culture it makes sense why the waitress would be against it, but over there? Its no skin off her back, she getting paid the same either way.
>>219785874If a business tells you "no" to a simple request, you take your money and leave. I don't argue with staff.
>>219785924I do.
>>219785938And does it actually get you results or does it just get you and the staff worked up?
>>219785258you're the one defending faggots who spit on the food because you feel entitled to premium tip, aren't you?
>>219784014The restaurant for serving that shit as food. Like wtf?
>>219784014>Who was in the wrong here?Whoever wrote this retarded piece of shit.
Restaurants and fast food chains just give you more of a reason to cook your own meals.
>>219784665correct, i have never had a job ever
>>219784014the fatfuck for going to a restaurant to order fish fingers and beans
>>219784222It absolutely happens. My cousin wanted to order just fries in a restaurant when he was like 10. The waitress started bitching that he can't do that, because they're not McDonald's.
>>219784014Love Ricky Gervais. Always have, simple as.
>>219785998he's just Bri'ish m8their food is literally beige slop
>>219785938Okay Karen
>>219786101Were there "just fries" on the menu? Probably not
>>219786127Yes, they were. But she argued it's a side dish and he has to order a meat with it.
>>219786158wow! and these people wonder why restaurants are dying?
>>219784935Your kid was, and it was the only thing around
>>219785683>no restaurant with proper management is taking a loss on something they sell. Wow you are naive.You've never heard of "happy hour" where drinks or food are half price?You never heard of McDonald's dollar menu? Almost Every single item was a loss leader.Oliver Garden's “Unlimited” bread, soup, and salad combo is a well known loss leader. IHOP early bird specials and early breakfast combos are often loss leaders. Costco food court restaurant sells at a loss. The hot dog costs much more than $1.50 for Costco to buy. Same with several items. But they sell at a loss. Do better research anon. You don't know what your talking about.
>>219784014He was in the right until he shoved a handful into his mouth
>>219786074imagine going to a restaurant to order some slop you can microwave at home just as easilymaybe later he can ask for dino nuggies and spaghettios
>>219784014I get it but if adults want stuff from the kids menu there shouldn't be an issue. I've worked/owed restaurants in the past and would never see an issue with this. They made more off the coffee than the fish sticks anyway.
>>219784286>Is food waste less important than profit?For the restaurant, yes.
>>219786638>You don't know what your talking about.Could be a tagline for the whole site
Most places will refuse to serve real food because it is during higher margin breakfast hours. They don't care what is on the menu.
>>219786638>Costco food court restaurant sells at a lossMost cooked things sold at costco at at loss or in the black. Like rotisserie chicken. The bird is sold a 0$, but the brown sauce, the frozen fries, the coleslaw, that's sold at a higher margin. Still, their margin is lower than regular grocery stores because of club cards.
Restaurants are all already in the deathspiral of trying to charge fewer customers more money. The restaurant supply stores are going out of business here.
>>219785924Anyone paid to be the face of a shitty company's actions deserves to be treated as responsible for them. Being paid to do something does not absolve moral responsibility it makes it worse.
>>219784487He's bad because fame got to his head and he loves to autofellate himself.Steve Merchant restrained those tendencies but without him he's insufferable.
>>219786638Bro you've been in a coma 2 decades or longer.
>>219784079i'd take 5 gervais over a single russel brand
>>219784240>It's a loss leader.no it isn't, they still make money on childrens meals.a loss leader would be something like free refills
>>219785816You're being very tough, but fair.
>>219785816>The idea that a restaurant would refuse service if you didn't place a big enough order is so absurd that it's the very fucking reason it's being portrayed here in a comedy skit, you fucking moron. There are plenty of restaurants in the USA that have kids menus and specifically say it's sold to children only. Not adults. Try again.
>>219784014The customer. You don't argue with the rules of the establishment. Don't like it? Leave.
>>219784014>Curb Your Enthusiasm if he english
>>219786638You’re talking out of your ass. The dollar menu was always profitable, until it wasn't, and that’s why they ended it. McDonald’s doesn’t sell at a loss. All bars are about encouraging people to buy high margin drinks, but even when selling shit for cheap during happy hour they aren’t stupid enough to take a loss. Olive Garden breadsticks would require you to eat 50 of them to be at a loss. You have zero concept of how much food ingredients and prep actually cost, stop spewing shit.
>>219787056>Thinking the lowest person on the totem pole is setting the policies and rules of the business and is the appropriate avenue for you to vent your frustration.
>>219784631That's why I hate every single scene in Seinfeld
>>219784240>it's a loss leadereven if this is true and the only consideration, you can just walk into a grocery store, pick up a roasted chicken (another famous example of a loss leader) and nothing else, and pay and leave right? The store knows they run that risk lol, so should a restaurant.
>>219784240how is their pricing policy my problem exactly?
>>219787456Because they won't let you order from the children's menu. Remember?
>>21978460199% of all comedy is fake. You're just mad because they're bad actors and it is a soundless clip out of context, the worst possible presentation.
>>219784750>>219784779>>219784794>>Good afternoon sir. Table for one?No, a table for two. My date will be here shortly.>> Very good sir. Here are a couple of menus and the wine list.May I see the children's menu?>>I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave sir.
>>219787483>oi guys, let's build our pricing around discriminationgenius idea lol
>>219787244>sold to children onlyhow does that work, would they give it to a 17yo since it's a minor?
>>219784014>Then you can charge me for two and just bring out one, its an extra $5 I do not give a fuck.
>>219787061>autofellate himself>self-fellate himself>self selfRetard
>>219787892no, they generally place the limit around 12 because young teenagers get embarrassed to say they're children and older teenagers obviously aren't children
>>219788624yeah that sounds more sensible
>>219787892>how does that work, would they give it to a 17yo since it's a minor?The age limit is usually around 10 to 12 years old. Its usually written on the Menu.
>>219784014Capitalism
>>219784014The waitress for stinking gervais' fish dicks up her butthole.
>>219784373>I guarantee this has happened in America more than once.It has literally never happened in America even once, you retarded foreign faggot.
>>219787771Yes Anon, most business would discriminate against customers they'd lose money on.
The customer is always right. Shut the fuck up and do what I tell you. Don't expect any tips and call me Sir. Now hurry the fuck up.
>>219787330>You’re talking out of your ass. The dollar menu was always profitable,No it wasn't. Many McDonalds store owners HATED the dollar menu. They were forced to include it by the corporate headquarters. Store owners complained and pushed back very hard for years. Eventually McDonalds corporate gave in. They changed it to "Dollar Menu and More" which let owners charge way more.
>>219784222Yeah they really underestimate how little service industry people give a fuck. When I slung za during school we'd get at least one "quirky" order a week like no cheese left beef or make a face with the ingredients etc and we wouldn't even crack a smile we'd just do it and get it out because who the fuck cares.
>>219784565It's not a direct material loss, but it probably is a "loss" factoring in operational overheads. Having said that, it could easily be overcome by just letting him order it, or applying a small surcharge if you really must
>>219784014Ricky Gervais if he's in it.
>>219784154By me
>>219787447>you can just walk into a grocery store, pick up a roasted chicken (another famous example of a loss leader) and nothing else, and pay and leave right?You CAN. But Costco is betting that customers won't go to Costco just for a single chicken. They believe if customers are visiting Costco, then they will make the most of their visit and buy multiple items. Costco (and other stores) ended up being correct. Customers hate visiting just for a single items. They feel like it's a waste of gas and time.
>>219784014This would never happen in real life.
>>219784986Some places might have "business rules" in the till, it's not possible to ring up just two kids meals. I worked at busy stadiums behind the bar and you weren't able to ring up more than 4 pints for one person in a transaction (I know that's going to be slightly more strict than fish fingers but it was still an "in-house" rather than legal/regulatory policy)
>>219784014I work in a food takeaway place. I would be happy if someone ordered like this. Because 9 times out of 10 you get absolute freak cunts who complain about prices and portions of a regular meal, yet the fucks cant even finish it. Its "you only get that with it???" then when they finish it, theyve left more than half of it. So if some guy walks in with a kid and orders 2 kids meal, thats fine.The whore in the webm and that establishment would just produce that could have been sold on making someone order an "adult" version.
>>219784222When I was a server I had some fat bitch come in and try to order like 4 kids meals for free with coupons. I told her no and tried to report me to my manager who also told her no. The other servers would do it, im not getting a tip from a cheap fat bitch anyway. But something like op I wouldnt care
>>219787700KEK
>>219787700So Robbie Retail wants to interfere in my eating habits AND my dating life? Someone is getting shot in that restaurant.
>>219785869>You'd be shocked how many people in service industry jumpscare you with some completely made up horseshit out of nowhere.Like what?
>>219784014Fat people are always wrong
>>219784079back to red dit woke faggot
>>219789560The money she saved on her meal would have gone towards your tip, ya dingus
>>219789436>how-does-this-sub-feel
>>219789748What if he's American and has no tip?
>>219785816Nta but what else have you heard mislabeled as a loss leader?
>>219789429>Franchisees HATE this one simple trick!Retard. Whether these people I know you will have no source for exist or not, a few jerkoff managers angry about slightly lower margins do not prove McDonald’s sold food at a loss. If you had any idea how cheap McDonald’s scale bulk ground beef and flour are we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
>>219784222I work in a restaurant with a few meals for kids which are the cheapests and offer best value and I assure you no adults are allowed to order them.The owner will come in person to check people are not cheating.He's a funny chill guy always high on weed or drunk and will offer beers or food to customers but he's autistic about the kid meal shit.
>>219789748It never does. They'll leave like 2 dollars. Cheap people dont tip. Maybe it was the neighborhood but blacks tipped the best
>>219784986>how are you gonna fire someone for giving an adult a kids meal? how do you even track that shit? what a bullshit excuse.I used to work at a movie theater.One guy was willing to pay full price for a kids pack but they didn't need a drink or candy. Just the extra small popcorn bag.I gave it to him. The manager behind me said "I'm not mad but that guy scammed you. You can't let happen again."
>>219787056You're right, anon. We should all boycott unethical businesses and refuse to get jobs working with companies that don't 100% align with our values!
>>219788496>ATM MachineI'm going insane!
>>219789975>if he was with a kid and he got the full pack for him it would have been fine>instead he paid the same price but got only 1/3 of the items>this means that he scammed you, the employeeidgi
>>219789975>that guy scammed you??
>writer is to embarrassed to order a kids meal so instead of asking for it, he wrote this sketch to confirm his insecurities
>>219789429>They changed it to "Dollar Menu and More" which let owners charge way more.Are you telling me the store owner sets the price?I've kept track of it, but are you telling me if I drive around, different McDonald's will offer things at different prices?
>>219784373It depends where. Here in Germany following the rules (Regeln sind Regeln) is so deeply ingrained into every facet of life that some lowly paid waiters would definitely try to argue with you that you can't do this or that. I think people underestimate how much people like to follow useless rules and orders even if they're not even real.
>>219790131Taco bell definitely seems that way. My typical order was 5 dollars less in Texas vs ohio
>>219784014Anybody got the webm of Bill burr getting into an argument with a guy? Bill is smoking a cigar and the other guy is vaping. It's another one of these scenes It's from a movie iirc
>>219789553>The whore in the webm and that establishment would just produce that could have been sold on making someone order an "adult" version.I didn't understand this last sentence.
>>219784222I used to work as a waiter in high school, amd basically, items on the children's menu are designed to not make a profit
>>219784986There are unironically undercover snitches writing reports on your performance. We would have a couple come in every month. Most of the time it's pretty obvious, and you'll get a tip from the other waiters, but you can never be completely sure.
>>2197899372 dollars is a big tip here
>>219789932what if i look 14
Post the sushi sperg.
>>219790473child menu is just tendies and chips, and potatoes are LITERALLY free right now at wholesale
>>219784079James Corden is far worse
>>219784014I bet Ricky eats like that
>>219784014I was quite looking forward to this show, the concept described as a local journalist interviewing weird oddjobs in his local town whilst battling his own problems, but it was just Ricky endlessly strawmanning, miseryporn and safe edgy jokes for normies who call you a snowflake for not enjoying the show but would literally have an anryresm if you said the word "nigger" in front of them.
>>219786638You're retarded if you think McDonald's is paying more than a dollar per hamburger. The ingridents per hamburger cost literal pennies because they purchase product in such high quanitites. The real cost is in wages and energy costs. You are a retard who knows nothing about business. I can't tell if you're genuinely retarded or if you've just been brainwashed by talmudic economics, but either way you should keep your opinions to yourselves next time.
>>219791288He's just some broccoli head who leaned what a loss leader is and couldn't wait to use it.
>>219786103I don't even mind the food being low quality, but that fucking pairing? Who would eat beans with fish? And that bread isn't even toasted.
Why is it people get so emotional over two things>traffic>food70% of all public freakout videos are either road rage or complaints about food orders (especially from Americans, the road rage is universal). Shit has made it into feature films since Five Easy Pieces, Falling Down etc
>>219784373Love the rope?
>>219785757During covid, the security/police sent to enforce mask wear couldnt understand why I didnt have a face mask on if I was there to buy a pack. It was both being a stickler for the rules but also the inability to comprehend the catch 22 of not being able to wear a mask if you didnt purchase them before the pandemic.
>>219787917wow dude just threw away $5 for nothing. I bet he'll even do a custom 200% tip to really show how cool and rich he is!
>>219789231"you lose 100% of the customers you wont serve" - ancient greek proverb
>>219791940Most people have nothing going on in their lives but eating. They live to eat and eat to live. As for traffic it's the only time of the day people are in control of a powerful machine so it gets to their head and they let out all their frustrations.
>>219790149Police will beat an innocent driver and arrest them if they dont step out of their car when asked. Its a supreme court decision that is a law but many dont know about it and it sounds ds like petty tyranny so they decide to stand up to it not knowing its a pretext so the cop can beat and drag you out. An elderly man was beaten and arrested because he refused to show id and step out.
>>219784014He stole this scene from Curb which did it better. It also makes more sense, because it's called a doggy bag, but the waiter doesn't want the meal being served to a dog.
>>219784240That's the rub. Sometime loss leaders lose money. Not my fucking problem mate.I got the same thing one time at the hardware store -- bought 50 cents worth of screws and the guy was griping because he would lose money over that. Kiss my ass and cry about losing 50 cents.
>>219792484This is a very generic thing that happened or that both of these retards imagined after seething. I don't think that he stole it
>>219786842Especially since it's misspelled
>>219786638Just to pile on, there's no way a hot dog costs Costco over 1.50
>>219793072Curb did it first and did it better. There's an unwritten rule you don't do the same premise unless you have a different take on it.Curb did the same when they just repeated Monk/Stanley Tucci episode with Jon Hamm.

>>219794112But you're not a genuine atheist. You just like to larp about it online. You probably haven't gone to Sunday orgy in months.
>>219793922>unwritten rule you don't do the same premise unless you have a different take on it.It's always sunny in Philadelphia should've been made fun of ten times per episode then because they stole so many Simpsons jokes and premises.
>>219794112why?
>>219794167>>219794440performative christians go to hell. genuine atheists may not.
>>219784014probably the wrong board for this.id guess a fair amount of the americans on this board are failed 'actors' or other similar lowly types that ended up working for long stints in cafes and grimey restaurants hating every day of their lives and thinking they are better than the customers because really they're 'actors'.probbaly irks them even more to see a real, successful actor mocking them and being paid millions for it.
>>219790149I preferred Germany when Germans were following the rules made from 1933 to 1945 than them following any of the rules they've followed since.
>>219789975sounds like that manager had 70 iq.
>>219789937same, I was workingas a waiter in a cocktail bar - when I met jew, he tipped me well, thanked me swell, turned me into someone new.jews,blacks and chinese are always the best tippers and the most valued customers and also best guests in hotels by far.
>>219792340not a customer if you arent paying. they dont care about some fat faggots 5 pounds
>>219796941they always put the biggest retards in command of the retard corral
>>219789560no, you were a waiter. you waited on people, you were a waiter.you clearly weren't a good one either.i wonder where your internal self hatred and general seething comes from, perhaps you can enlighten us.
>>219789515>this faggot gets drunk off fish fingers
>>219789448it's not a loss anyway. what you mean is it isn't the usual 900% clear profit.
>>219797032cant pay if you wont sell me something, retard. just say you dont have to operate as a real business because it's actually a laundering front.>>219797008opposite day
>>219785078>Wagies when they have to serve a paying customer (they’re getting paid to do it).
>>219797051I think it's because only the most giant retard of the retarded would take the position and the petty rules seriously.had an actual mentally retarred park keeper come up to us when we were sitting having a picnic in a park once>you can't feed the birdsok>you can't feed the birdsok>because you can't feed the birdshe stood there for several minutes more or less repeating the same thing over and over.
Whats with boomers and making up these scenarios where they are being victimized by waiters
>>219784373That whole interaction is quintessentially British or at least it was before your kind invaded.
>>219797436as soon as they make it big they ignore their roots, that which gave them character to build a career on top of, and from then on the only inconvenience that makes it their way are uppity (more like fed up) waiters and topical crap they read about on the internet (trannies and "woke")
>>219787363They are. It's ultimately up to her whether she'll serve it to him or not.
>>219797436middle aged people are always trying to get in fights with public service workers. Its where the karen meme comes from
>>219794385I remember that episode where Bart says nigger.>Rips off tonnes of Simpsons premisesThat's bullshit, but I believe you, yet I can't think of a single one other than pic related
>>219784240Retailers get away with loss leaders because they sell in volume and since everything else on the shelves that isn't a loss leader is sold at a profit the loss is covered. Restaurants don't move enough product to make money by selling products at a loss and usually subsidize the thin margins on food by marking up drinks (especially alcohol) or low-cost appetizers.
>>219789691This one time the waiter popped out from under the tablecloth like that scene in the grudge.
>>219797883>other than pic related
>>219797753the "karen" slur came from sheboons in canada being lazy, rude and incapable on their low tier service jobs - mostly in coffee places. customers who'd previously been used to expecting European level service were instead greeted by ghetto filth and slum behaviour. thus the clueless boons complained due to having no self awareness, and the completely unbias media did the rest.it's just further representation of the downfall of society, which you're either too young or too third world to have any knowledge of.
Besides the Oscar shit he said which was peak, all of that guy's stuff just seems like "winning arguments against imaginary people in the shower or before falling asleep" shit.
>>219790131>Are you telling me the store owner sets the price? Yes. But there's limits. The prices are supposed to be tied to local wages and cost of living. Sometimes local owners get greedy and charge more. But they can reported to McDonalds headquarters. They local owners get warned by HQ. If after repeated attempts they do not listen, then corporate can pull their license. The local owners can't call themselves McDonald's anymore. The only exception is national promotions. And the dollar menu was a national promotion. So store owners were not allowed to touch the dollar menu price. >>219789824Inflation killed the dollar menu. Particularly the rising cost of beef and chicken. Even before inflation store owners hated the dollar menu. But corporate HQ controls the prices for all national promotions. And the dollar menu was a national promotion.
>>219784222It really does, and it's retarded.
>>219796941What kind of person would stick around long enough to become the manager at a movie theater? Think about it.
>>219785258What a fucking dick.
>>219784495I read that as short biscuit and thought it was some weird UK slang.
>>219791288>The ingridents per hamburger cost literal pennies because they purchase product in such high quanitites. This isn't the 1990s anymore grandpa. The cost of beef has risen.
>>219793027The only problem I have is with customers who don't follow the rules. If the menu says it's for children only, then adults shouldn't throw a fit when the waitress tells them no.>what you mean it's for kids only???? I have money give me 10 bowls of Mac and cheese. No I don't want to order from adult menu! Give me 10 kids bowls for $1.99! I don't care what the rules are.
>>219802016And mcdonna doesn't have a dollar menu anymore
>bri'ish "cuisine"
>>219802337>And mcdonna doesn't have a dollar menu anymoreGet with the times grandpa
>>219802067>letting women handle rulesdid you just assume my trve age, hag?also imagine being the retard that wouldnt charge another retard $20 + tax & tip for less than a dollars worth of noodles and processed cheese
>>219802546ayo lemme no wen dey got dem skrimps wooo lawd dem fire fr 100 100
>>219802587That’s how I know anon doesn’t work in a restaurant. Loss leader? This shit is retardedly cheap.
>>219802587Restaurant owners don't want to encourage this behavior. If the menu says it's for kids only, then it's for kids only. Not an adult who throws a tantrum. If the owner gives in, then they will just come back in the future and say "I was able to order from the kids menu last time I was here!".Money isn't the only thing that matters in restaurant service. Sometimes it's best to not serve those types of customers.
>>219802546The only thing you can get below 2 bucks is fries, lil broccoli head. Stop the cap.
>>219784373>I guarantee this has happened in America more than once.I guarantee you that it has never EVER happened. It's not a fucking rule. It's NEVER been a rule.
>>219801694I don't want to
>>219804602Don’t make me get my belt..
>>219784014What the fuck is even this?
Place I worked at had a "Kids & Seniors Menu" and in the training it specifically said "let people order from the kids and seniors menu if they ask regardless of how old they appear"
>>219804954My job told us to tell customers that the kids menu was for kids only. Boss said the food was discounted for children. Not adults. 99% of adults understood and had no problem with it. But it was that 1% that always gave us attitude. They demanded to know why they couldn't order from the kids menu. Of course these same people were stingy, complained about everything, left a mess, and never tipped.
>>219789436What's wrong with pizza no cheese, nigger? Ever hear of dietary restrictions?
>>219787181>free refillsDo you understand how much soda you'd have to drink to make them lose money at $3?
>>219784014he seems like the type of guy to have an argument and then spend days thinking of what he could've said
>>219784618Does mcdonald's check your car for a car seat before they hand you a happy meal? My wife gets happy meals every time we eat there.
>>219805323I'd like a takeaway for my kid at home.Checkmate wagie>and never tipped.based. tip culture is cancer. and restaurant workers these days are entitled cunts
>>219805323>Act like cunt to the customer>Y dey no tip?!?!
>>219805323yeah I wouldn't tip either retard>but we wouldn't make any money!!I will not be lied to. The margin might be smaller but the kike who runs the joint isn't giving that food away at a loss.>buh buh buhI will destroy your toilet with the greasiest shits you've ever seen and your kike boss will make you scrub it up. Tell him thank you for the job every day forever.
>>219784222This just happened to me today actually. Roy Rodgers wouldn't let me buy the 2 strip kids meal because it is way cheaper than the 3 strip kids but it was always enough food for me and the 3 strips was just a little too much
>>219805739>>219805686You aren't a kid anymore. There's a reason why you don't get a kids discount when visiting museums. Yes it's the same building but kids deserve grace and compassion. So they get charged less.
>>219805786I don't want that much food though
>>219805786this might surprise you, but they kid aint paying for any of that shit
>>219805786kids meals in restaurants are already serving smaller portions, who cares who ends up eating them.do fast food places ask for your family census if you order a kids meal in the drive thru?
>>219805786It's not a discounted meal.
>>219784240>Its sort of like how supermarkets have really cheap milk and bread to draw in customersPlease tell me where you can get cheap milk and bread unless it always has been cheap in the US. These things aren't loss leaders what the fuck. Surely you meant to say Costco $1.50 hot dogs right?
>>219784240>Its sort of like how supermarkets have really cheap milk and bread to draw in customers.you're genuinely mentally retarded
>>219784373Yeah cause they can easily get fucking fired because they're poor and can't sue so if the owner tells them to fuck off and eat a dick they aren't getting paid anymore.
I wish they sold wonder bread by the slice because I don't eat en entire loaf fast enough and it gets gross.
>>219806063that shit's disgusting, just buy smaller loaves or rolls of better bread
>>219784014This is pretty funny. What is everyone in the thread upset about? Do people really come here to pretend to have heated arguments with each other over something so mundane?
>>219806802restaurant workers think they're hot shit because they have a slight bit of power. COVID made them even more entitled and smug
>>219785258Now imagine this but with indian immigrants who have 'bartering' and scamming in their DNA.That's Canada now.
>>219805323Here’s a tip: give me my food.
>>219801353Retard, did you just make this shit up? The name came from it being the leading name of female customers who called in to make petty complaints.
>>219784373Employees have definitely refused to serve people kids menus before, but they're probably not going to actually argue with the customer beyond simply telling them "those are the rules, sorry". If the customer keeps making a big deal about it the employee will just refer them to the manager, they don't actually give a shit beyond not wanting to get in trouble.
>>219807092>Here’s a tip: give me my food.Then pay up. You aren't getting a kids discount.
>>219807584You don’t work in a restaurant you have no idea what’s going on you just picked a contrarian position to argue.
>>219807584kids meal ≠ discounted mealnow put the fries in the bag, wagie. adults are talking
>>219807627>>219807608>>219807248>>219807092>>219806003>>219805863>It's not a discounted meal.How many times must you learn this lesson old man? Just stop. You are embarrassing and cringe.
>>219807795Please cry more everyone. Kids menu exists. You can't lawyer or rule-shark your way out of it. You aren't a kid. You don't get the discount.
>>219787244>There are plenty of restaurants in the USA that have kids menus and specifically say it's sold to children only.no there aren't. the only time something like this ever applies is if they have a "kids eat free" promotion. never in over 30 years and having traveled all 50 states have I ever seen a menu that restricts a paid item to child customers.
>>219807823it's not a discount. it's a smaller portion of food, so you pay less for it.
>>219806802>Do people really come here to pretend to have heated arguments with each other over something so mundane?only reason I come here>>219807823you wouldn't get refused the dish as an adult, you'd just pay more for it
>>219807913Dude what are you evening talking about. Plenty of menus say it's for kids only.
>>219785258>The problem is that if you start making exceptions for people to be nice, they start expecting it all the timeNaturally
>>219785410Taught in all white universities, written down by white bourgeois economists
>>219785996Cheap store-owner/small business owner fuck detected
>>219785816>The idea that a restaurant would refuse service if you didn't place a big enough order is so absurd that it's the very fucking reason it's being portrayed here in a comedy skit, you fucking moronPlease (don't) be bait
>>219787700LMAO
>>219797008*presses hard on synth chords*
>>219786037Larry David
>>219800853
>>219805498this confirm women are eternally children
>>219807937And?The "price to food ratio" is still the same.Smaller food still costs money.
>>219805323>They demanded to know why they couldn't order from the kids menu.They watched the Ricky Gervais skit before they went out.
>>219805498>My wife gets happy meals every time we eat there.nominee for most american post of 2026 AND for induction in american posts hall of fame
>>219784014>No substitutions
>>219784014Where?
>>219784240Maybe fix your nigger faggot business model then if youre gonna cry and shid your pants if i order from the kids menu
>>219810423>tries to sound tuff>demands he order from kids menuLmao.
>>219785078its a pretty retarded policy thoughif someone is wanting to have a kids meal they will finish the entire plate, if they are made to order an "adult" meal, 90% of the time im betting the plate isnt going to be finished, thus wasting stock. if a dude wants a kids meal with a kid just fucking give him one.
>>219810441>they are made to order an "adult" meal, 90% of the time im betting the plate isnt going to be finishedThen they aren't hungry enough to be going to a restaurant.
>>219810441>if a dude wants a kids meal with a kid just fucking give him one.No.Learn that no one is entitled to catered to your needs.You are just as bad as vegetarians who go to a steakhouse and demand vegetarian dishes.The world does not revolve around you.
>>219784014only someone as rich as Gervais could be so out of touch with reality he uses a tired trope in his show
>>219785025Nothing is sustainable if everyone does it
Are you allowed to order just an appetizer and no entree?If youre out with a friend and they order food and you order nothing are you allowed to eat some of their food?
>>219791986In the movie rolling thunder a POW is released and comes home to find his wife has left him. He talks to the man she left him for and tells him about being tortured in Vietnam by being tied up with a rope and beaten, frequently. He says that you have to learn to love the rope. That is what low IQ trashy normies do with corporate policies as shown in the video. It's not everyone but at least a couple at every retail job I've ever worked exactly like this. The kind of person that will stand at a register for hours without a single customer and never check their phone because it's against the rules. Or obsessively clean things because "were not allowed to do nothing"
>>219810434>using 4chan slurs>trying to sound tough...?
>>219810508> Ñnnnnnoooooo you werent 120% hunger level maxed out you cant come here!You people never heard of leftovers?
>>219810522Eating at restaurants is often a social thing. If a steakhouse offers vegetarian options then they can cater to vegetarian groups and and mixed groups. Steakhouses aren't obliged to provide vegetarian dishes and most vegetarians wouldn't want to eat there because it's a steakhouse, but it's pretty easy to offer a salad or something.
Will obviously the restaurant, but I don't believe for a second that this is a situation that has ever actually occurred
>>219810616>vegetarians wouldn't want to eat there because it's a steakhouseYou would be surprised at the sheer amount of vegetarians or vegans who go to a steakhouse or burgerplace, and then complain the food isn't to their liking. It happens often. Sometimes they try to shame the restaurant on social media for not being inclusive.
>>219810218stick to your sheep intestines and snails, faggot>>219809993if the price to food ratio is the same, that means the profit margin is the same in % terms.
>>219810761>if the price to food ratio is the same, that means the profit margin is the same in % terms.Not exactly. Once it gets below a certain %, then it becomes unprofitable. When you mix batter together, the ratios are often locked on in. Eggs, flour, salt, etc. They must make a minimum amount of batter per batch. You can't really reduce it beyond a certain point. Otherwise it goes to waste. Plus A diner isn't going to turn on the entire stove and grill just to make 2 or 3 small pancakes. That's why the kids menu is meant to be sold alongside the adult menu. Because the adult menu is where the real money is made.
>>219784014SUCH A BRAVE STATEMENT
>>219807823How do they know the child is under 12? Do you need to bring a birth certificate?
>>219790149and that's why you lost two world wars
>>219784014if he wants to do "real world scenes" he should have just hired karl as a writer for this show, by karl basically telling him things that annoyed him that day. not this weird alternative universe shit.
>>219810761You are literallt a caricature. I don't eat snails, but surely they are healthier than the plastic turds you and your fat wife consume regularly.
>>219810581>If youre out with a friend and they order food and you order nothing are you allowed to eat some of their food?i hope so or my mom's going to jail
>>219810959>How do they know the child is under 12? Do you need to bring a birth certificate?Have you worked with teens before? 13 and 14 year old teens hate pretending they are younger.
>>219810508You know they will give you a to-go box for your leftovers right? You have eaten at a restaurant before right?
>>219811365most anons are prohibited from that by state and federal law
>>219811419Then why are you complaining about too much food?
>>219784014Both of them. That's the joke.
>>219811365I would gladly say I'm 12 if I was 14 if it meant paying less.
>>219811234Oh hohoho!! Ze snails are le delicacy, Monsieur!!! Ze mcdonalds is ze poopoo, oui oui!!!
>>219812460Nah you would fumble it. >You would claim to be 12, but you look 15>Servers would quickly ask when you born.>You would pause, hesitate, and say uhhh....while you try to recalculate your birth year. >Server gives you a knowing look and says to order from the adult menu. >Your teenage self becomes extremely embarrassed. >Spaghetti in pocket.
>>219812460So would kids, who are notoriously low on funds.>>219812991He would fumble it but no waiter would actually give someone a hard time about this. You're forgetting that the waiter is probably the same age as him and stoned out of his gourd. Wagies don't give a fuck.
>>219813052>He would fumble it but no waiter would actually give someone a hard time about this. You're forgetting that the waiter is probably the same age as him and stoned out of his gourd. Wagies don't give a fuck.Depends on waiter and depends if the boss is watching.
>>219809392>>219810218It's because she doesn't eat as much, you fat fucks.
>>219784222Something similar happened to me once, I ordered something off the vegan menu and the waitress literally snatched the menu out of my hands and practically yelled "that's the vegan menu!"
>>219814327>how could she tell i wasn't vegan?
