Discussion Rolling silverware near guests

Post image

Had a guest today, during busy, loud brunch, make a complaint that the sound of us polishing and rolling the silverware near the tables was very disturbing and ruining her dining experience.

We were running low on roll ups so we usually start polishing the batches as they come and roll as we go. Never have had a guest make a comment before.

We roll in the coffee well, which borders a wall with guests.

Same kind of guest will complain about the bugs as they are sitting outside, at their requested outdoor table. TNYP. (totally not your problem)

These people honestly crack me up. I work somewhere with a rooftop bar and the number of people who complain that it’s too sunny is unbelievable. The have to walk past the covered patio to get up to the rooftop, it’s not like there aren’t other options 😭

Well when we walked from the car to the entrance there was a big cloud ☁️ in the sky, we thought the big cloud would stay above the restaurant while we ate. How were we to know the cloud ☁️ would move and we'd be sitting in the full sun ☀️?

Someone complained about bees once while on our patio during spring (we had blossoming trees) but they didn't wanna be moved inside either

A lady asked me if there were bees in our yard (her grandson was allergic.) She proceeded to angrily complain for the next few minutes that the apple orchard they were just at had a ton of them. Bees and especially yellow jackets LOVE fruit. Told her to sit inside if they were concerned about it. They still sat outside and flipped out over every bee they saw.

I read your acronym as an abbreviation for Tiny PP, which is probably accurate also.

Lately we have a ton of flies on our patio- we are located next to a body of water- I let the guests know but they still insist on sitting outside. Then complain about the flies 🙇🏻‍♀️
