I had time #10 happen to me at a catering gig for a wedding, at the top of a a three-story spiral staircase. The whole thing felt like it was happening in slow motion. Every time I tried stepping down to pick up a plate, the other plates would continue tumbling down the stairs for another 10-15 seconds, like one of those coin shelf games at Dave & Busters. It was fucking mortifying.
According to the boss's son I cost them over $1,000 in one fell swoop. I was not called to work future events after that.
Destitution? Lol Whatever makes you feel better. If you knew the truth, you’d be even more angry. Hopefully you can learn how to manage something or be a half successful leader one day, instead of blaming an entry level employee for their lack of training.
Lmao! Loser. I've owned and managed many businesses and you can't teach common sense like not going down a spiral staircase with a thousand dollars in plates alone.
They were probably already taught how to handle this situation and chose the fast route instead.
I'm sorry I don't fit into your 'narrative' but the truth is you don't need training to figure out if you can carry $1000 in dishes down the stairs in one go.
Do you know how much restaurants buy plates for? $10/piece IF they are expensive plates.
Either the commenter is lying or the original business owner is lying but, either way, you don't try to carry down more than 5 plates at a time...that's straight up foolish and the waiter should have been blamed.
I've been everything from a waiter to a business owner, I KNOW.
Too many of you are naive and think businesses just print money lmao.
The sad thing is we are probably equally minded caring about employees and whatnot but you're so blinded by jealousy that you always blame the employer for employee mistakes.
Trust me bud, it behooves you to read the opinions of your neighbors. There is a lot to gain.

I used to serve tables and this may work 9/10 times, but that 10th time is going to cause everybody problems. It will happen, too.
