DO NOT scoop ice with a glass. Reasons for being: 1) It damages the glass over time 2) It's quicker to use a large scoop into multiple glasses and the most important one, number fucking 3) What happens if you chip a glass into the ice? If you're attentive enough to notice straight away (unlikely), you've got to now empty out and clean that entire ice well, because sure as hell you won't be able to pick out every bit of glass from the ice. The alternative being to serve shards of glass in your customers' drinks. It's a dumb habit that after years of bar work gets me unreasonably mad. And yes, wash your damn hands.

Being a busser myself at a 5 star Italian restaurant I can attest that we do 10x more work than the servers and get a very small portion of the tips they receive. My job is to approach the customer's table, ask for water preference (bottled or tap), run back to the sweltering crammed kitchen to retrieve bread, make an oil tray, carry both out to the customer (usually 4 to 5 breadbaskets at once), clear the table (often times having to carry 10/11 plates at once, box the customers food (if they ask), refill water when possible, clear the table again once the customer leaves, reset the table by putting on table cloths and silverware and glasses (if there aren't any available we have to go to the kitchen and wash/polish the silverware ourselves), polish glasses, open and close the restaurant (moving all the furniture around for the cleaners, resetting every table not finished by the end of service, locking up patio furniture, wrapping up all the cheeses and left over oil trays, etc.). Keep in mind we have to do this for about 30 tables all at the same time. Servers are also huge assholes sometimes and forget the fact that you are cleaning AND serving the ENTIRE restaurant compared to their measly few tables. If you are a customer or server at a restaurant please take a minute to appreciate how hard the bussers work. BUSSERS DON'T JUST CLEAN TABLES. 95% OF THE TIME THEY ARE WORKING WAYYY HARDER THAN EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT (ESPECIALLY THE SERVERS) (besides the dishwashers lol). Hope this helps give an idea for any up and coming bussers of what its like and this opens the minds up to customers/servers of how important we really are.

I have, night time rushes sucked and I would handle 300+ tables in my shift. I always washed my hands before touching food, or clean plates. Anyone who tries saying otherwise is slow, bad at micro managing, and just disgusting themselves if they could touch meat, dirty rags, and touch food and clean plates with the same hands. That glass cup and ice is also a bad idea, if you chip it, someone could then swallow a glass shard and you’re stupid for that risk.

Lil Leslie that’s why we have disposable gloves. I kept them in my pocket. Got as many plates I saw needed, removed them. Quickly got a squirt of hand sanitizer and rubbed my hands while moving to the next thing. I never had an issue washing my hands and keeping up with my rush, I priced myself in being hygienic as possible and that even got the regional manager to approve my raise because she would watch the cameras and noticed my habits. Just plan ahead, I don’t know, I just loved the stress environment so my mind would love racing. Kind of miss those environments.

@@Unawesomenessness got to say, it was really depressing working. I was working full-time and going to school full-time for 6yrs (I changed my major once).it was especially brutal when I was 17-20. I come from a poor family so it was essential for me to start working to pay for my tuition. By my senior year in university, I became aware that the government offers grant for students who’s parents make less than 30-40k/yr to help them out with paying tuition which I was eligible for. Unfortunately I was already going to graduate lol. I’m the first person in my family to go to college and the first to receive a bachelors so no one that I knew told me about the grant. Everything was new to me and my family. I believe 7yrs ago, I was making 5$ + tips or 10$/hr if I didn’t make up the Minimum hourly wage. On 2018-2019 I think I was getting paid 7.25$/hr+tip or 13$/hr if I didn’t make up the minimum hourly wage which was 13$ (I’m in NYC). Because of Covid, a lot of restaurants in NYC are paying 15$/hr wages because there’s not a lot of available employees. So that’s definitely good.

Let me preface this by saying that I bus at the busiest fine dining restaurant in my state, and I'm damn good at what I do. I seriously can't believe how many people are commenting that it's commonplace at their high volume restaurant they bus at to skip proper hygiene. To fellow bussers watching this video, here are some of the major things that could've been much better in this video. 1. Don't dip your glasses directly into the ice, get a scoop ( a big one if you're concerned it'll slow you down) and have water pitchers with ice next to the area where he did his initial water fill, so you aren't standing around waiting for water to be dispensed. 2. There are things you can rush and go as fast as you can, your interaction with guests is not one of them. When serving the water glasses, do not reach across guests and put your elbows in their face. Always serve from the right of the guest, and a simple "pardon my reach" will suffice. If you cut corners here, again, be aware of your ELBOWS. 3. Accidents do happen, and you should ALWAYS carry a clean linen or white rag on your apron. This is what you will use to crumb the chairs or clean up any unforeseen spills and accidents. Instead of running around for a rag for x, y, or z, have one on you. plan for success. 4. After you've cleaned your spill on the table with your clean rag, including the ice etc. THEN you can use it on the floor. At this point you probably will just need another rag, so take it back to your linen bag and get another if needed, and replace your apron rag. 5. Placing a linen over the area the water was spilled after you've dried is usually a perfectly acceptable solution instead of trying to replace the paper. Unfold a square linen and lay it out flat over the damp area. 6. When grabbing papers for the table tops, grab them from both sides so you aren't wrinkling or putting folds into it. In general ripping the table paper looks terrible and this was not the proper solution for fine dining, clearly the guest in this video was put off by this, as I would too. You made a small little mistake of a damp table into a bigger noticeable problem. 7. Try not to bring too much attention to yourself, practice "silent service" this includes not ripping up your guests tabletop paper. When pouring waters for your table, do not grab the glass to fill it up if possible (I understand if you're short). Try to have a minimum amount of ice in your water pitchers so that water isn't splashed on the guest as you fill their glass. You can begin with plenty of ice if you insist on it and rotate the pitchers as the ice begins to melt. 8. When cleaning a table after you've finished bussing it, use your sanitizer rag to wipe crumbs or food into your hand, not onto the floor, which looks cheap and dirty to your guests. With your one hand holding crumbs use your other to thoroughly wipe down the table. Transfer the damp sanitizer rag into the hand holding food/crumbs and now use your DRY apron rag to crumb the seats/booths. Never use a WET rag on the seats where guests will sit. 9. Wash your damn hands.

I'm a busser at an extremely busy breakfast/lunch restaurant and I love it. It isnt some shitty corporate place, it's a family owned business so everyone is really close like a family. I get tipped about 70-80 dollars a day on top of my actual paycheck, so all that extra cash is really nice. I actually enjoy the work, as strange as that is. It's ALOT physically, those bus trays can get ridiculously heavy, but I love it because I get paid to work out haha. Some days I have to host, which sucks, but hey i'm not complaining. 80% of the time i'm a busser. Overall I'm very happy with my job. I'm 18 and ive been working there for about 6 months now.

And sometimes your name will be called by 3 directions all at once. But if you find the right place, you will be appreciated. Nice to see someone being positive about a job with arguably no perks. But you gotta love it. If you don't you hate it. :P

He's pretty good overall, though he made some questionable choices here and there: not washing his hands and using a rag to clean the floor THEN the table being his biggest offenses. I get that it's a high-stress environment, but take it from one busser to another: You, and the guests, can always afford that extra 30 seconds to ensure cleanliness. The place I work at has a lounge in a separate building (albeit very close), meaning me and the other bussers are essentially looking after two restaurants at once. The lounge doesn't have its own kitchen and only has serving staff, so they're entirely dependent on us to run their food, get rid of their dirty dishes, and restock them when needed (to compensate, the servers and hostesses in BOTH buildings are expected to pitch in on cleaning tables). Anyways, despite having our hands tied all shift, we still manage to exercise cleanliness.

Yimji Channel True that time is very limited during a rush in a restaurant but management should offer solutions to keep cross contamination to a minimum. Touching ready to eat food with dirty hands is NEVER acceptable. A solution would be have disposable gloves nearby, or using a clean utensil to gather the food, like tongs or a scoop for the chips.

Thank you for this video. I'm about to start my first restaurant job as a busser in 4 hours and it's nice to have a little glimpse into what I'll be doing. At my last job I was a human signpost, but I preferred to call myself a marketing expert. I essentially got paid to do nothing, and I'm actually looking forward to having a job that will force me to stay on my toes. Luckily, being a signpost required me to be on my feet for hours on end so I don't have to worry about that part, and truthfully I prefer being on my feet and moving. It is a bit stressful going from such a relaxed job to one that is all about speed, but I have confidence. I know it won't be easy but I'm sure I will learn a lot. I learned a ton as a signpost.

Bussers just give bread refill water restock stations, remove plates, reset tables, and sometimes refill water or ice stations depending on the restaurant. It's difficult when the staff/ managers make it difficult or when there's a lot of guests

+Fernando Martinez It the same at my factory job with safety. They preach safety too cover their own ass (forklift inspections at the beginning of every day.) Makes perfect sense and I agree that inspecting equipment carrying 12,000 lbs over head is a good idea. But if someone in my workplace actually took 15 minutes of work time to inspect the equipment they would be gone very quickly. That is 15 minutes the company isn't making money off it's workers. Just like in this environment...washing hands doesn't make money. That is all any business or corporation cares about nowadays. I see it in every place I work. I don't agree with it...but that is the way it is.

bussers do the majority of the work that one would normally assume a server does. We dont get treated that well and hardly get tips. The work is fast pace and you always have to be moving and on your toes, even on a slow day. Every busser knows that you dont have time to wash your hands all the time, wipe them on a rag and go serve the bread. Run behind and you'll get yelled at by your manager. Don't have a spoon for the butter, use your fingers. You'll never know as the customer and it saves us time and money.

I have been a busser for a year and I am very good with customers and good at what I do. The only problem is I am very good with my coworkers who are white Americans and some Mexicans, and I'm an Asian. I think maybe because of the culture differences or I just feel so awkward with them, however which I don't feel with customers. I am trying not to take personal and be kind with them most time. Eventually I found out that I don't talk that much with my coworkers, as I am the kind of person who likes to work hard and speak when it's necessary. I'm really trying treating my coworkers the same way I treat my customers to build a good relationship with them and also to get good tips, as they are the servers who tips me a busser. I'm just writing this thing up here to just open up my mind, and hopefully I'll become good with them and a good server in future.

He's a pretty good busser. Bussers don't have time to clean their rags or wash their hands. It's fast paced and very demanding. Managers don't care about anything as long as the job gets done. Cups are always scooped into ice bins everywhere. Hands always touch the "free food" bussers give out. My hands are touching bread and butter all day. Everyone who comments gross or what not has never worked in a restaurant. I'll eat those guys chips or my own bread. That's just how it is.

You have time, they have things called soap dispensers and sinks, with paper towels in arms reach to take 15 seconds to wash your hands before you touch food, and if don’t in front of guests it looks good on you. I don’t get this “oh welll let’s touch meat, dirty rags, and tables before we grab other food to serve people” mentality, that’s trashy and it shows your character.

Aways walk around the store and be vigilent about empty plates are water glasses that need to be refilled. Do not tay in the kitchen for a long time.

My second day i was carrying freshl cleaned wine glasses to the bar and a customer open the bathroom door really fast it knocked down all the glass and broke.
