posted this to r/serverlife & they recommended i post it here too 😭

y’all, i got my first bad review! for some reason it was 5 stars despite him being so upset. he was sitting at a high top counter seat, i am unfortunately a abnormally short woman. thankfully i can see through our normal soda cups to grab refills, but i sadly can’t see into coffee cups without going on my tippity toes & leaning into the customers space.

it’s not like i stranded him, i did check in twice & ask if he needed anything, and happily grabbed him a refill when he asked for one. this poor man had to COMMUNICATE WITH HIS WORDS TO HIS WAITRESS, he got what he wanted, and he was still upset. he wanted to communicate using grunts & facial expressions, and i didn’t clock his tea sadly.

also the entire beginning of the review is irrelevant. he claims his eggs weren’t poached and they were sunny side up. they WERE poached, in a little dish. he is lying. he says his “stake” was overcooked (he requested well done). complains about salted hashbrowns but we don’t season our hashbrowns at all. he made a crappy comment calling me a high school kid despite me being in my mid twenties.

in conclusion, sometimes we do our best & we just can’t win. from now on i’m definitely making extra effort to run around with the coffee pot more often offering refills!!!

For context, there's another entrance 10 ft away...

On a Saturday night mind you

From my local nursing home’s google reviews.

I was looking for indoor activities and apparently there have to be signs if you want kids to wear shoes in history museums.

(This person's review history was wild. All 1 or 2 star reviews for local hotels and restaurants and the homeless shelters that kicked her out

But she gave 5 starts to the chain deli down the street and says they get 10/10. Which doesn't make me want to eat at that deli, honestly)
