I definitely agree, I worked in retail for 2 years and then waited tables at a restaurant in college for a year & I definitely agree. Those jobs will teach you patience FOR SURE !!!!!!!! BTW Sandra looks so good (:
I’ve waited tables before and I am here to tell you that it is one of the most difficult, demanding jobs on the planet. Treat your waitstaff with just a smidgen of respect, and you will be served like kings and queens.
I learned so much more in my jobs waiting tables through college than any school. I learned how to bust my ass, I learned how to multi task, I learned that the harder you work, the more money you make, I learned all about the good, bad and ugly of humanity...and most importantly, I learned the lesson of life.
Cody Murphy only one chain. The rest were high volume independent establishments in the Bay Area. And this is why I don’t work in that industry anymore: zero respect from the management to the cooks to the customers to the rest of the staff. I’m just stating my opinion here on what it feels like to wait tables. That’s all.
New Message I think this goes both ways too. I was a waiter for several years, and i learned no matter what, always be nice and respectful to the cooks, because in the end they are the ones who will make the customers happy, not necessarily the guy that takes their order.
How about you just do the job you’re paid to do and if not then quit; no point in wasting peoples time if you don’t feel like doing the job you willingly applied for.
@@skelitonking117 guarantee you've had your food spit on. Probably snot too. You treat the people who handle your food poorly and you're going to pay the price. If that's not a concept you can get behind then don't ever leave your house.
@@skelitonking117 These people ARE doing their jobs and many of them LOVE their job until your rude obnoxious self comes along and thinks putting up with your rude nonsense is part of the job description which is false. Just be a decent human, it's really not asking a lot.
As an American in my fourth year of slowly learning German, I enjoyed this segment immensely. And I absolutely agree. Everyone should have some kind of service job for at least a year. It teaches you humility.
@@deerlord4729 no doubt. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating cookies. But we have to realize that Hollywood actresses are what they are because they have money!
@@ryanmcewen9364 Hey, Ryan, that is gratuitous off-the-cuff BS and you know it! Sure some make huge bucks less than 1%, IF they have the talent as well. Sure you can cite anecdotal refutations, but still- I'm right and you are wrong! So there... ;-). PS. Happy New Year !
I worked as a skycap for a few years. It's a tip-based job but half the time, people don't tip or they severely under-tip. So I learned to be helpful for the sake of being helpful rather than for money because otherwise the job is infuriating and tiring. Once I made it about helping people, the job became rewarding and also weirdly fun.
That's a very good way to put it, a very mature viewpoint. I was just thinking that tipping is also a sign of maturity, once you learn the meaning behind it for the person providing the service.
She got work done =(... can see she clearly got a face lift and I think collagen in her upper lip as well. Shes normally much more animated in the face, if you watch her expressions and the nuance of her facial muscles its clear she doesn't have control over the upper half starting at her upper lip which is poking out further than it used to. Was hoping she wouldnt get the work done like everyone else. Don't hold it against her or anything, whatever makes her feel good is cool but I just hoped that she wouldnt need/want that. Then again its very likely her career is the driving force behind the choice much more than personal feelings which is a shame. She didn't need work done.
@Alex Gulino Yes, I totally agree. It´s a shame how some women ruin their faces with plastic surgery... (Some men do too. Not always beautiful to begin with, but always terrible results afterwards...)
Yes, totally. Everyone should work at least 1 year in the food service, retail, or any service type so they know what it feels like to be treated like trash and you can't do a thing about it but smile. That way, people would treat people better cause they were in the same position before.
Lmfao it’s like you guys don’t understand civil service; suffering is a choice and we can choose to deny it; you not quitting is just you choosing to put up with it. No one is under any requirement to be kind to you. And seeing how many orders get fucked up in the fast food industry most of the time we’re not even getting what we paid for in the first place.
@@skelitonking117 wow you ARE entitled! have you ever needed to pay for anything yourself in your life? you are definitely the kind of customer everyone makes fun of in the break room.
I love how Sandra tries to guess what Stephen means when he "speaks German". Some of it is very much unintelligible. ((Like the one after "Fußboden" / floor. "Hass und Pfeffer" did he mean salt and pepper and said hate and pepper?)Edit: correction in the replies) Her German is excellent by the way. Almost flawless.
@@Digrient That makes a lot more sense because that's closer to what I heard. But also fascinating, because I am German and have no idea what that dish is. But fair enough :D
@@MichelleTopham Yes, she said that in the video, but that doesn't mean a lot. Does it? Quite a few Americans claim that they grew up learning it due to relatives but they sound much worse. Pronunciation is quite hard. It was meant as high praise, no matter where and why she learned it :)
@@theberrypie Sandra grew up in Germany (Nuremberg, therefore the slight Franconian accent) and Austria, went to German-language schools. They moved to the U.S. when she was twelve. When she speaks longer German sentences, you may notice that she's a little out of practice but essentially she's a native bilingual speaker.
From a German nativespeaker; i am pretty sure what he is referring to is „hase im pfeffer“, which is part of the german phrase „da liegt der Hase im Pfeffer“ - literally „where the bunny lies in the pepper“. Which makes no sense literally, the meaning tho is: „thats the point (to a story/situation)“. Sandra is stunning - and her german is pretty good; you can clearly tell the american accent, but its grammatically prestine. Greetings from Krautlandia.
@@vjosas I mean she really grew up there, like up to her teens. You can never forget a language after using it for that very long period of time especially on your formative years.
I've waited tables before. For those that have never done the job, it's much harder than you probably imagine. Please be kind. Waitstaff are human beings - with feelings - deserving of civility, and respect.
your german is really good (be glad you don't have to learn swissgerman ;) ) also working in service made me feel sad for humanity sometimes, but there are also a lot of good customers. Most humans are pretty decent usually.
Sandra Bullock is able to express the most amazing range of emotion and would be magnificent as the main character in the novel, The Dandelion, the story of a woman's journey from anguish to exhilaration. She is just amazing. She would be the most relatable person to play the story of a wife who discovers her husband's betrayal and worked to save herself and her life.
I love Sandra Bullock she’s so beautiful I also love The new movie Bird Box it was awesome, and I love the fact she speaks German yes I know she’s from there because of her mom mainly. Sandra’s family is from Nuremberg, Germany she’s hands down my favorite Actress 👍 . I am from Asturias, Spain and Venice Italy myself I do speak Spanish and Italian myself I command her for it as well. Love ❤️ her.
She's so talented and funny and smart and pretty and apparently fluent in German?! Sandra Bullock was my first celebrity crush and is still top of my list of most lovely actors!
I worked at Canastel's in 1986-1987 when Sandra was not famous. She was very pleasant. was a Busboy and remember working with her. Moreno the manager and my boss was a real character. His brother was the chef. This was first real job at age 20, a year after immigranting from the Dominican Republic.
Weird to notice one of Stephen's throwaway German words was "hasenpfeffer", a very uncommon word which is also part of the lyrics to the theme song to Laverne and Shirley, and today Penny "Laverne" Marshall passed away.
Haven't waited tables but worked as a tour guide in a local castle and I can tell you it's the same everywhere. People would complain to me about how high the admission fees were, that there were no chairs to sit down on during the tour, that there wasn't a lift, only stairs, and about how they only got to see 9 show rooms out of 200 rooms in the castle. First, you expect a lift in a 700 year old castle, and you complain about not being allowed to sit on a 400 year old chair?? Excuse me?? Stay home if you can't walk or stand for 50mins. Second, I didn't decide on any of these things. Not on the prices, not on whether you can sit down or not, and not on what you actually get to see of the place. But of course you always gotta be nice, pretend to be understanding and shut up about what you really think. Similar situation when I worked as a pizza delivery driver. I agree wholeheartedly. Everyone should hold some form of customer service-related job at some point in their life. Teaches you good to be respectful to your fellow human beings.
Someone here demanded we should show waiters respect. The trouble is that most waiters/waitresses without professional training are really incompetent and irritating. If they knew how to react properly to complaints and suggestions, customers would have more respect for them.
As a waitress/college student, it's a mostly thankless job that demands a variety of skills that are often taken for granted. But when the customers are nice, the rest of the staff is being amicable, and I'm not being treated like a robot instead of a person, it's not a bad gig at all :)
Did anyone notice that when he went to welcome her, she pulls her hand away rather discreetly but abruptly and he looks to his crew and kind of laughs...watch the beginning again when she comes on. I wonder what happened the first time they met?
At a bare minimum, people should know waiters are paid less than minimum wage. Many also have to do prep work and closing work when they don't make any tips.
@@ronsauceify Care to elaborate? Illegally operated? Do you think there's actual laws defining what a waiters job duties are? Or are you talking about the wage because that isn't illegal here either. Stupid, yes. Not illegal though.
So true. Servers do a lot of "side work" at 2.35/hour. I also waited tables in a night club and we would be stuck there till 4:00 a.m. regularly. The club closed at 2. 2 hours of labor at almost no salary, 5 nights a week times 7 - 10 servers...
I've never worked in food service and never plan on it. I don't need to experience it to know that it's awful. I am always kind to even the worst waiters and will always tip well. I see the difficult people the deal with, my hats off to them. PS more of sandra speaking German please.
