  • I got asked out on the job twice,

  • and it was just a little bit awkward.

  • Shoulda said "Yeah," coulda got an extra tip.

  • Never have I ever eaten a customer's leftovers.

  • For sure.

  • Ooh 100%.

  • - I have not. - Everyone has.

  • I've wanted to.

  • Pretend to, like, push it in the garbage,

  • and just like, sneak a couple of popcorn shrimp.

  • I've even hit a cup of someone's wine before,

  • once or twice, come and bring it to the dish area.

  • Look around for a little bit, do a quick uh.

  • Then you're back on the floor.

  • Makes the job easier.

  • Then you gotta look at the customers, too,

  • and be like "Would I make out with them?"

  • And that's a good judgment of whether or not I'm gonna eat their food.

  • If it's there, I'm eating it.

  • Never have I ever dropped food but still served it.

  • - Not on the floor - Ooh.

  • I mean, I've dropped a couple pepperonis before

  • at a pizza restaurant I worked at, on the floor,

  • before it was cooked, and just picked it back up,

  • threw it on the thing, and right back in the oven

  • I think that's fine, the oven kills the germs.

  • I was gonna say, right?

  • I've done it on the bench next to the plate.

  • I don't know if that counts.

  • - Okay. - Probably fine.

  • Yeah I dropped it on the floor.

  • It wasn't like a big deal, you know what I mean?

  • It wasn't like on a very dirty ground or anything.

  • I've definitely dropped food before,

  • and thought about serving it,

  • but I just seized the opportunity to eat it myself.

  • Oh they were so mean.

  • The customers were so mean,

  • and it dropped on the floor for like three seconds

  • and I picked it up and looked at my coworker

  • and he was like "I didn't see anything"

  • and I was like "Okay."

  • Never have I ever spat in a customer's food.

  • - Definitely not. - I have not.

  • I would never do that.

  • I've seen it in movies and it's too much for me.

  • No, it's gross.

  • Definitely have not.

  • Again, but like, really wanted to.

  • When they're just so rude.

  • Oh my God, you have?

  • They deserved it.

  • This lady, she ordered very specifically,

  • and I got her order 100% right.

  • She wanted to complain about it,

  • 'cause she wanted her meal for free.

  • I said, "Ma'am, I wrote everything down word for word."

  • She called me a derogatory name, about my race,

  • and threw her ice at me.

  • So, when she got her "correct" food this time,

  • it was a little bit extra correct.

  • That's fair then, if they call you a name, I get that.

  • They came at me, they threw their drink at me so.

  • Oh my God.

  • What'd you expect?

  • Never have I ever lied about knowing if a dish

  • had gluten or some other product in it or not.

  • I was still in training and she asked

  • if the soup was vegan, and it was tomato soup,

  • so I took a chance and was like "Yeah, it's whatever."

  • It's not.

  • The stock in the soup is actually chicken stock,

  • and it's tomato bisque, which is 90% cream.

  • I learned my lesson from that.

  • - Anything bad happen? - She's still alive.

  • I feel like most people don't even know what gluten is,

  • so when they say it to me, I'm like "I don't know."

  • And they ask me if it has gluten, it's like,

  • "Shouldn't you know if a potato has gluten in it?"

  • I don't know.

  • I have when I was more ignorant about those things.

  • 'Cause I started working in the restaurant business

  • when I was like 16, so I remember the first time

  • I got asked that question and I was like,

  • "I don't know, no there's not."

  • But then I had a friend whose mom had Celiac disease

  • and I very quickly learned, like, the seriousness of it

  • and I was like, okay lesson learned,

  • I will always triple check ingredients.

  • Never have I ever given bad service

  • because I thought they wouldn't tip well.

  • I've never given bad service

  • because I didn't think anybody

  • was going to be a bad tipper, but I mean,

  • there's obviously been times where, you know,

  • your soul's just not into it, because you know

  • they're not going to give you any money.

  • I don't know.

  • Oh be honest.

  • I may have, but I also haven't because this happens to me

  • because I'm foreign.

  • I've noticed that servers will be really rude to me

  • from the start, sometimes.

  • 'Cause they think, yeah.

  • 'Cause they're like, she's foreign, she's not gonna tip.

  • I'm like, actually I'm probably gonna tip better than everyone else.

  • And I'm always right.

  • - Yes - I'm always right.

  • Never have I ever messed up an order on purpose.

  • What would the purpose be?

  • Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

  • What would the purpose of that be?

  • That's just gonna cause hell.

  • Yeah I don't think I have.

  • No, definitely a lot by mistake.

  • I've never messed it up on purpose.

  • I think the mistakes come from just kind of zoning out

  • and not being focused enough.

  • I have definitely messed up an order on purpose

  • because I felt the person was like a mean-ass (bleep).

  • And I thought it was just funny, like,

  • someone had a lot of allergies, supposedly,

  • like they were gluten free, they were flour free, I mean,

  • I worked at a pizza restaurant.

  • They ended up doing the order wrong,

  • and just kept bringing it back.

  • It made me laugh.

  • Never have I ever dated a customer.

  • Huh?

  • I've got to think about that one.

  • I'm going to go with the safe answer here.

  • I have not.

  • I wish I would have.

  • No.

  • I have not.

  • - Yeah I have. - I've had a lot of...have you?

  • Yeah, I've worked in bars.

  • Okay, see I've never worked in bars

  • so it was always just breakfast food.

  • So the type of people that were asking me out

  • were like 50 year olds.

  • Yeah I've definitely gone out for drinks with cute guys I've met.

  • Hell yeah.

  • Never have I ever had sex at work.

  • That'd be rather tough.

  • Ooh.

  • I haven't, but I know people that have.

  • I have.

  • I never thought I would admit that.

  • It was with an old co-worker, there was no one around,

  • if that makes up for it.

  • - [Camera Man] Was it in the walk-in freezer?

  • No, not in the freezer.

  • I'm kind of disappointed for this, I feel like.

  • I know, I really wish I could flip it around,

  • - I really do. - Right?

  • It's an interesting industry to be in.

  • It sucks sometimes, sometimes its wonderful.

  • I don't want to be cliche,

  • but sometimes I like to see the smiles on people's faces.

  • There are happy people when you're working in this industry.

  • Sometimes, sometimes.

  • There are definitely really interesting stories

  • that can come from customers who are just a little bit off

  • or super rude to you.

  • You should always be nice to your servers,

  • like, they're taking care of your food,

  • they're working so hard.

  • They have power.

  • They're also taking care of six other tables at the same time.

  • Sometimes more.

  • Regardless of how much I hated working,

  • and still hate working in the restaurant industry,

  • it's actually kind of fun

  • and there's a lot of good stories you can tell.

  • I feel like we have the same general answers

  • to the questions so no matter what kind of restaurant

  • you work at it, I feel like it's all kind of the same.

  • (upbeat music)

I got asked out on the job twice,
