I’ve told a table of 2 that the wait is an hour and a half, and they still wanted to wait. Then of course they come up every 5 minutes asking if the tables is ready for them.
@@joel.ha. It's wild to think that basically everybody who has ever lived was at least that racist and homophobic. I'm so glad we finally figured out that it's just such bullshit to think that way for some reason.
Millennials (even older ones) will just go home and eat. We’re not waiting 45 minutes to spend $50-100 at a restaurant. Or, we’ll go somewhere with no wait like Chili’s or Applebees even though the food isn’t as good.
@@patriciadawson3613 Yeah, making food yourself is nice and all, but sometimes people just wanna relax and not have to cook, or some people just don't have the time to cook for themselves.
@@幽霊船-o4h Oh yeah there's plenty of garbage restaurants in the US with overpriced food, long waits, and the only redeeming quality being the restaurants atmosphere, which is usually ruined anyway by them attempting to crowd people in like sardines.
As a fellow GenX, I've waited a hell of a lot longer for a seat at an average restaurant. Anything AFTER GenX are so impatient, they'll just stomp away
@@gabeperro7590Nope, just not stupid enough to wait for that long for a damn table. Life is short, don't waste it away like that, just go eat somewhere else
@@activevertex4475 yeah, you can do a lot in 45 minutes but you choose to spend it standing around doing nothing to pretend like you're more mature than younger generations because you refuse to have a look at your other options for food
Yeah, GenX ain't calling over the manager. We're just leaving. We raised ourselves, we can make something at home that may or may not be expired and be happy til morning. 😅
Raised yourselves to be annoying as hell in the comments. "We were latch-key kids! We had to fend for ourselves with only our laserdiscs, twinkies, and tab to entertain us!" Whatever, Barb, or Deb, or Brad or some other Gex X name.
@@TheHomerowKeys It annoys you that we'd rather make ourselves something to eat at home than call for a manager? Oh dear! Sounds like mommy forgot to powder your bottom today and the chaffing is making you cranky! No wonder you look so flummoxed in your pfp, life can be tough when you have a constant case of the waaaahs. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day and hopefully yours is just super snazzy! 🖕😊🖕
@@TheHomerowKeys aww someone didn't get their Barney song this morning, did they? It will be okay, someone will be along shortly with an emotional support animal and participation trophy.
Do American restaurants actually give you an estimate? Where I live there's either a table free or there isn't, never had restaurant staff tell me how long to wait.
You also have to understand that we're often driving half an hour or more to these restaurants. It's worth it to just sit and wait for a bit than drive half an hour back home@@humanbean7884
@@humanbean7884 Usually yes, its not always accurate. Their tracking system for managing the tables just collects data over time and spits out an estimate.
I see alot of other Millennials going "Yeah, no i would just walk away", and that makes me happy, because i thought the same thing. Straight up **** that noise.
None of us can afford to go out rn, but every generation is so accurate, especially the silence gene; “I remember when they made Hawaii a state, you have a lot of tattoos, you frightened me because you might be a homosexual” I’m weak
I think any generation might leave, but I would sit and wait patiently rather than start an argument with an employee, and I would probably forget to use the app.
That's me. Not waiting more than 25 minutes for a table lmao. Almost always check for call-ahead seating. If they don't have it, ask for wait time before you drive 👍
I almost spit out my drink at "I remember when they made Hawaii a state" sometimes old people really do say random stuff and when you ask them what they want/need they just continue to roast you.
Was giving this guy info on our gym and the prices yesterday, he must’ve been at least in his 80’s. He just interrupts me and starts going off on how his 30 year old Thai girlfriend is a marathon runner and they’re building a home in Thailand together
Twenty years ago, a woman who would now be in that age range confided to me that she was concerned that the millennials in the parking lot were going to try to give her a tattoo.
If there's a free table, you might as well wait the 45 mins sitting there. Then afterwards you can write a review telling you needed to wait for an hour for your food.
couldnt care less if its a server i have to wait for because yall are short staffed then its not about "the customer" now is it? and you think 2 ppl are going to wait on a server to be ready....no i aint waiting on you...and its funny how yall want 20% for tips imagine that
@@Insomnia-uu2zqyou should try working in the food industry for a few years, then come back to this comment, also it’s never about the customer. Most servers don’t give a fuck about the customer, eat your food, don’t be an issue, and get out. Which works well 90% of the time, but most of the time “the customer” is a corporate thing.
Who has such a small amount of patience that they can't wait 45 minutes for something? Do you get hand-fed everything in your life? Everything you ask for gets to you immediately? Seems unlikely.
@@vegas3352 I mean, it depends on the situation. If I've got somewhere to be at a certain time, then I'll go somewhere else without a wait. But if I specifically plan to go somewhere out to eat, I'd definitely wait 45 minutes. You can go get a drink at the bar and chill out with your group for a while. It's not difficult... for anyone who's not a child or has children... Which one are you?
They really do that to us. Cannot be bothered to pay us well or hire a proper crew, but God forbid our store's profits or efficiency goes down, there will be hell to pay. All hail the Almighty stockholders or whatever.
@@sirhellsingbut there wasn’t that before and most times but me personally I like drive thru sometimes cuz of that dumb social anxiety I hate it and most people be chill af I just judge myself too much when no one cares in a good way lol
My mom is mid 40s. I was a server recently. She was trying to set up a dinner for 12 people at a restaurant. When I asked if she called ahead, she said no. I told her we need to call ahead so they have time to accommodate us and they would appreciate it. She said no, they don’t take reservations. I still called. Guess what? It would be an hour wait and we had to go somewhere else. Because they had a party of 60 taking up most of the restaurant.
nahhh, the only reason my restaurant will take 12 people on short notice is bc we’re a hibachi restaurant (we have about 5 big tables that can seat ~20 people, and they cook your food in front of you) the last serving job i worked, we wouldn’t take parties over 10 on short notice because we had a whole process- had to clean the back room, set up the tables, get chairs, find a server or two wiling to do that many people on top of their other tables, and push everyone else’s food back on the list to get the party’s food out on time its a process, and we needed notice. hell, dine-in at my current place doesnt even have room for parties that big.
@@vizardshi1863bro, idk how it is over there but here in serbia its common to see parties with 200+ people, and some people do 800+ on their 18th birthday. If you think 60 is bad for a restaurant you have to see this live 💀
@@serbiagamingiscool515Think 8 people is the highest we've reached in my family in the past 15 years, with friends, colleagues, etc. never even getting invited. Birthdays don't get a real celebration, just a piece of cake for breakfast and visit to a restaurant on the weekend. No dinner for Christmas either. German minimalist approach to "special" days.
My grandpa is 95 and still can’t believe that men have long hair nowadays 😂😂 like grandpa long hair became normal in the 60s…it’s literally been normal for 60 years at this point.
I think it's kinda funny because aint no one saying shit to their old ass about it, either. "Fuck it. Dude's dead in a week anyway. Not even worth my time."
Yeah, 42 can almost be 27's mom or dad. And 20 years ago (no, not the 1980s, the 2000s) you had a 1st grader and a COLLEGE grad in the same generation! 20 years from now the gap between 62 and 47 won't seem as huge, but it'll still be there.
@TheMidnightNarwhal I know not all gen Z, but many are. And yes this is pretty oversteriotyped. Of course I can't speak for all of them but the portion I've been exposed to are typically less socially inclined. Thanks for making me clarify.
I once heard a quote I find relevant. “Say what you will about millennials, but I have never heard one scream at a cashier before” 🤷♂️ We have our issues but at least we are usually pretty polite!
I grew up with gen x parents and I was expecting him to just leave in the video 😂 to this day my parents would leave and find a less crowded restaurant rather than wait 45
@@alexsimion7190- true but there are plenty of other restaurants that will take online reservations. If they don’t want to adapt to new technology and changing customer preferences they will eventually get left behind
@@6382steve no man, we just loose pieces from the human puzzle, we need to socialize in person not over an app. We should be glad to talk to new people.

My parents are gen x and YEP If the wait's longer than 20 minutes they're off to the next restaurant. Ok no 20 is debatable, but over 30 is absolutely not happening.
The second half of that millennial commentary though is bullshit we just spent a lot of time on a doom spiral of business, real estate, and college debt destroying our spirits and just wanted a meal in a social setting. Now our patience and consideration is being perceived as being spineless 💀

@nickfurlong3369 really though if I'm hungry and am looking forward to food; it's unacceptable to wait 45 minutes. Most ppl have already done an event before they eat. They don't want to wait 45 minutes on top of an additional 15-20 minutes it takes to serve you your food.
I'm not sure which generation you are...but I'm a millennial and your comment was waaaaaay too relatable lmao. I pretty much only go out in public when my wife forces me to.
@@hoyvin4099 no, I don't waste money on food when I can cook for myself at home for 1/10th the price, I just know it's common to call places that are regularly busy
And some restaurants don't let you call ahead. There's one not too far from me that doesn't take reservations for less than 10 people. (And then you can't get seated until the whole party is there.) They always have a line during peak times which is why I always try to go either between lunch and dinner or after the dinner rush. Once in a while my mom will want to go during dinner and I just suck it up and stand in line while she sits on a bench, LOL.
"I'm too important to wait. I act as if I live in opulence and cover my desperate debt and disappointment with machismo and sarcasm." Do me, next! Millennial!
@@PersistentDissenter Lol funny. I don't think for me it's a matter of I'm too important. They are busy and under pressure. my being hungry right now is not their problem. Besides maybe there is a place that some business that isn't crammed.
