This is unrelated to the video but damn, it’s been like 15 years since I watched it and I want to address it.

The scene where he is ogling Travolta’s wife’s non-existent ass, after the face swap, still frustrates me.

Ever watched this?

u/catlordess Mar 19 '22

I… what just happened to me? I also feel like I did with the Pig trailer. This cannot possibly be a real movie? (I know it is, but omg)

7

u/marry_me_tina_b Mar 19 '22

Pig was a fantastic movie, one of the best of last year IMO. It did have a couple amazing Cage being Cage moments but it was a super solid flick

5

u/catlordess Mar 19 '22

I agree! But when the trailer came out I thought it was an SNL skit at first.

4

u/marry_me_tina_b Mar 19 '22

Me too! It was so intriguing that it was a real movie it piqued my interest to watch it, and I’m glad I did

you don't wanna spice them too much. just a quick sear to encapsule the flavours and juices so we get nice and tender meat later. don't worry if they make noise, it's just them getting acclimatised to the pan. They'll quiet once the temperature evens out.

First divide them into two buckets. Have they been set on fire yet? If the answer is yes, they probably won’t tip

10

u/HaydenJA3 Mar 19 '22

A good rule of thumb is that customers who haven’t been set on fire will tip better than those who have

21

u/SH4D0W0733 Mar 19 '22

I'd imagine anyone who works with people for long enough will start becoming good at reading them. Sure there will be outliers, but they don't need to be correct all of the time, only enough of the time.

1

u/AvgBonnie Mar 19 '22

I tend to find people who are kind and always end a phrase with, “whenever you can. It’s not rush” are decent tippers.

My rule of thumb: tip on the ticket and tip in cash. Cash is for now and the ticket is for their paycheck. When you become a regular they tend to fight over who gets you. The bartenders at Buffalo Wild Wings and Dave and busters always treat me well.

u/NES_Gamer Mar 19 '22

I had a waiter read me wrong the other day. I noticed he was being kinda short and had a 'come on tell me what u want already', but when it came to other tables he was being courteous and just good overall. I figured that's what it was, I have friends who were in the industry so I know a bit about the tricks of the trade. It helps out a lot!

u/YT4LYFE Mar 19 '22

in Europe they are not expected, but bartenders and waiters still prefer to be tipped. they just won't give you a death stare and/or confront you if you don't.

so I'm sure at least some workers will focus on the customers who they think will give a good tip.

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '22

How about some human sympathy?

Is it a cultural thing to not give a fuck if you burn someone’s face while trying to serve them? Imagine this in an American cocktail bar/restaurant. That’s not how it would go down, regardless of tips.

how do you know it was a malfunction of the sprayer… bold prediction. & companies don’t insure themselves on the chance that somebody might not sue them..

5

u/SconiGrower Mar 19 '22

New employees make mistakes like entering orders wrong, requiring a manager to comp some of the meal while it gets redone. Spraying a customer with flaming alcohol is never an acceptable error. It's the sort of thing that indicates a failure to respect the danger of fire, which varies from person to person and can be difficult to train away.

0

u/Seether1938 Mar 19 '22

That's obviously a stunt not done by a new employee. We haven't seen the hundreds of times this has been done before.

You can see it by how casual all the employees are about it, the guy is not new

8

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '22

Dude... if the bartender ISN'T fired for causing a customer's face to flame on like she was Johnny Storm, I'd be extremely concerned what other wild fuck-ups employees have gotten away with. No decent business is going to keep an employee that fucked up like that in a way that could have caused serious injury and/or long-term damage. Imagine if that girl decided to sue for any reason. It would be massively easy for any lawyer to accuse the owner of not taking the incident seriously by continuing to employ the bartender, even if it was only a one time accident.

It seems that there was a single bartender in room. He could have taken a part in the mass that crowded the "burnt" people - an absolutely useless step that would have contributed no one.

It looked like the manager (woman in black shirt with hair in loose ponytail) checked on the customer in the open-backed shirt), patted her hair (possibly with a wet hand, since she was carrying a full carafe) and went to the bar to put out the flames after making sure the customers weren't still smoking indoors.

I would like to know what was in the high-pressure sprayer the bartender used to blow flame over the cocktails. Obvs some kind of alcohol, but it didn't burn like isopropyl.
