Waiters memorising the order 

So true

Or he's holding a recorder.

Or to hand sign the order to the staff in the kitchen

obviously its to flip off the people At the table for being complicated

@@ZelosSama I love the idea of the wait staff having signs like a baseball pitching staff for just this sort of occasion.

The twist would be if he was recording the audio from the start.

@@lepetitprince3715 I've definitely done this a few times. Never worked out. Damn restaurant music or ambiance noise was too damn loud

Would have been better totally

Yeah, after all these years, we expect every video to have twist. Aaaaaand no twist was the twist!

@@keeperofthefate which makes it better

Trick was; the waiter went and checked with the kitchen (code for; waiter went back to write down the order, memorize it and came back to recite the order he had written down) Just messing. That waiter you had must’ve trained himself on memory tricks.

no tricks needed if a waiter use dictaphone +)

Yes that was me. We have a mic at every table that gives the kitchen the orders before the wait staff even leave the tables. Eh, no we don't. And there's no "WE", cause IT WASN'T ME !!

Guy would be a grandmaster at chess within 3-4 years ...

I was the exact opposite, I would write down the orders, separated and numbered by guest then draw a small table diagram of where everyone was seated. Sometimes even decorated the numbers a bit with physical traits of the guest in question for easy recognition if they switched places. Never got an order wrong and would get unusually large tips because of it. Edit: It was an arab restaurant, arabs can be very generous tippers if you treat them right and unobtrusively. I also made an effort to learn the dish names in their arabic pronounciation.

I can't wait for the Capp00 + VLDL 7 days to die crossover skit 😏. And yes, those two options are how this ends in real life lol. Fellow waiters/servers, just take at least minimal notes, it's not worth the repercussions if and when it all go's to hell ❤️

I was hoping he was holding audio recorder behind his back

There's a similar sketch by Brian Jordan Alvarez that has a different ending

@@rod_shaft I'm fully on-board for a crossover opportunity :D

I would have loved to see him repeat it back to them perfectly!

Yep, well that's how humans react when under stress

And he was so confident to start with.. 😏

Been there done that. My brain blanks out when the endless changing and tweaking starts.

do you write down orders?

I don't have to tell people, don't click links from spammers; it just encourages them to post more links.

Same...but for table of 4 u gonna remember...with 6 i would write it down 😅😅

waiter for like +4years now, and yes better safe than sorry, more than 5 people i would write. The real problem is when you have multiple table of 4 people, never underestimate.

@@emjar87 I once did a table of 15 off the top of my head

Those are the type of people who be excellent at counting cards in Blackjack at casinos.

I grew up with a guy with picture perfect memory - if he read a thing or saw a picture, he'd remember it with ease. It always drove the rest of us nuts because he'd study for a test for like an hour and then ace it every single time. We always joked he'd become a doctor or some such, and twenty years later he is now a brain surgeon in Ottawa.

@@interdimensionalsteve8172 real life Dr. Strange

Wtfff

yeah hes pro chess player now :')

if you make it deliberately hard you deserve not to get what you ordered ;)

that is cool that you do compensate him for that test xD

@@compphysgeek he was challenging the waiter with a prize...

@@compphysgeek Then its a surprise ;-)

@@Oruta563 if you tell the waiter it's a challenge and the waiter accepts the challenge, fine. Otherwise it's a dick move in my opinion, regardless of how big the tip is at the end. After all the waiter is not there to entertain the patrons and if you as a waiter go through the same challenge repeatedly because everybody thinks they are funny and it's all in good spirit, etc, it gets tiresome quickly. If you still think you need to mess with the waiters, don't act surprised if they spat in your food :D

Agreed. Hamish and Ellie are always fun to see.

This was their Xmas party. Allen actually works at that restaurant to supplement his Playtech wage which is why they decided to have it there as he had to work Xmas eve.

It’s awesome isn’t it 🤩

@@VivaLaDirtLeague Yup. I shall up my patreon when I can, in order to keep it happening :)

@@philipbaker6516 Alan has had so many pay cuts he had to get a second job because he OWES Playtech money every shift. 😂

This is my new head canon for the end 😂

@@VivaLaDirtLeague Hahahaha

Can totally picture Hamish being the first guy!

He works for the rival restaurant next on the street.

I have just fired him. Really? Yup, right this moment.

if even updated and changed to stuff they wanted to but haven't asked for yet.

Food was not in the budget of this skit.

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

reminds me when I worked in a call center. a lady was upset that her bill hadn't been taken out automatically and so she would have to pay over the phone. After much back and forth she finally agreed to make the payment. I instantly knew that she was going to read her credit card details as fast as she possibly could, so that she could yell at me when I asked her to repeat it. However I was ready. I made sure I typed everything in quickly and correctly, so all I had to ask her at the end was if she wanted a confirmation number for her payment.

Was looking for this. I was hoping he’d come back with every order like a boss.

I thought he was going to repeat the orders. Funny either way.

I was just thinking the exact same thing!

I had the same thought!

I’m not sure if that’s a case of great minds think alike, or wow, we are gross. But honestly, countless thousands of people drink far worse water every day.

you got to write it down for the kitchen to prepare it anyway...

@@Albtraum_TDDC Lol - you realise many places the waiter/waitress or whomever, goes to the computer and puts it in?

@@JosephGibson yeah I know, it depends on the store or PoS system.

the ship of liking people is long gone. lost faith in humanity years ago

How do people have the shamelessness to do that? I just can't imagine it. If a server missed my order, I'd be like "I must've been unclear, I'm sorry" (yes I'm canadian).

also you got to write it down for the kitchen to prepare it anyway...

@@Albtraum_TDDC write it down for the kitchen to prepare? We had a system to punch everything in and the orders were printed out in the kitchen

used to be one as well in a pub with reasonably small tables (maybe 6 people total) i almost never wrote it down unless there was some kind of big 10-people party going on, it did help that our menu was relatively simple though

@@EllionGrey it depends on the store. To keep the writing and paper use to a minimum what small stores do is write down the order and give that paper to the kitchen, who make the food and then give it to the cashier who makes the receipt. Or in more organized stores they do it differently. I work in a pizza PoS development so what they do in our program is they take the order directly on a tablet or a computer_station (though that is more for self-service) and when the order is finalized it gets sent automatically to the kitchen and the cashier. There's absolutely no reason for any server to memorize anything usually. But it does depend on how simple the menu is too. Also I guess if they don't have tablets (but still do more than self-service) and have to actually go back to the station to put in the order then they do have to write it down or memorize it.

Yeah people forget what they ordered anyway so it’s better to have a record 😂

It's really impressing. I'm really good at memorising things and still I can't imagine remembering instantly the entire table's order

Now thats a badass

Yeah I tip them for being attentive and getting the order right, not David Blane tricks. Never tipped more for an great memory. Just the service.

SEE! that's when a waiter should be tipped well, not just the bear minimum.

Yes, coming back to clarify allergies is often used to reassure customers that their allergies are been taken serious and removes the worry in the back of your mind about the food when it arrives. This waiter was on point.

thats the way to do it, then if they say you got it wrong you just play their voices back to them =)

dashcam, mate ^)

That would work fine until he got a Karen that screeched about privacy lmao

@@pikachuru head mounted go pro 😂

@Pilisa Ela go away NPC:4187

I was kind of hoping he would in a panicked way lol

I was expecting him to record all that to a device he is hiding in his hands.

There was a matv skit on that. You should check it out, the customer was Phil Lamar and the waitress was Debra Wilson.

You knew the end of the sketch?

Dunno, I think it would have been great having Greg the garlic farmer waiting on the other characters.

How do you get notifications when they upload? Ever since the new policy update i have not gotten a single one

@@RexTheCapt I don't know for sure but I do it on my phone and when you subscribe to someone click on the bell that pops up...it usually says no notifications. Personalized notifications or all notifications. I use all notifications

@@connermclachlan1796 of course the notification only works on phones now days. this platform gets worse and worse for pc users

@@RexTheCapt sorry man

probably a good stepping stone job for people born with eidetic memories. Once it goes in it's very hard to come out. Honestly who wouldn't want to make a killing in tips and astonishing everyone with what just comes naturally to you and meat a bunch of new people every night maybe opening doors of opportunity at any moment.

@@guitarman0365 Wait a second... if they MEAT people, does that mean they actually kill their guests? Man, that's TERRIBLE!

could be recorders

@@guitarman0365 waiters don’t get tips in China.

@@RamseyDewey most asian country dont give tips,to use its western's things lol

"Ok you know what, just write your orders yourself and I'll come back in a few minutes"

@@Ezullof We kinda do now in a few places thx to rona where we had to order things through an app. It was annoying as fuck because my app would never get past the payment confirmation step.

First time I've ever seen that emoticon, I love it

This is so insanely over the top and nowhere near accurate. 20 years in hospitality.

@@Taylormade2350 I mean… I “only” have 13 years in hospitality… but this has literally happened to me exactly like that. Yes, it’s not everyday stuff, but it does happen. Only difference is that I didn’t run out the door, I picked up my notepad and said “aight, you got me, i’ll write it down”

@@Whiskypapa this is extremely over played and overdramatic. I guarantee this has not happened to you on this scale and is nowhere near realistic.

@@Taylormade2350 yeah, it’s called overplaying for comedic effect… it’s a sketch… The core idea of the sketch is still accurate. You can guarantee all you want, but since you don’t know me and most likely live in a different country, with different restaurant culture (not to mention there can even be big differences between the clientele in neighbouring restaurants), I’m gonna go ahead and trust my own memories instead of random stranger on the internet. You are making deductions based on own experiences to make worldwide generalisations. Example: If your whole life, you only see white swans, you can say for certain that white swans exist. You can not, however, say that every swan is white, because suddenly you find yourself in Australia and looking straight at some black swans. However, I will concede that my original comment could have used the addition of “accurate in MY experience”, just so it doesn’t seem like I’m saying that every waiter on the planet goes through this. I obviously don’t believe that to be the case.

@@Whiskypapa I know it's a sketch. Hence it is not realistic. My entire point.

Yeah, they're such good actors! For a moment I almost believed they were normal people! 😂

nice day for fishing. isnt it?

Good catch!

who was so smart to denied waiters from notepads and for what reason? that's beyond stupid

@@mariusdesu1633 likely to cut costs. Pads and pens cost money. Shit businesses find any way they can to cut costs and make work more miserable for staff

@@mariusdesu1633 Restaurant owners who think that somehow gives them an air of superiority.

@@VenomGamingCenter Waitstaff get paid more per hour than pens and pads cost. Returned orders, wasted food, and lost business cost *way more* than pens and pads. Any fool should be able to see that. They must be really shit at their jobs, talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

@@VenomGamingCenter lol cut costs what you didnt even spend 1 dollar for a pad and pen, pad and pen will last for month even if they are often being used, it just mean that your boss are bullying you

now, THAT's clever.

Yeah but what if another table yelled and messed up everyone’s order Would be smarter if you typed in your order

Also, privacy. Typing/entering an order is the way to go. Just let me do it from a browser while I sit there. Lol

This is a genius idea!

Recordings can stop working sometimes kid

That's what I would do. Work clever, not hard

Yes and the Waigu beef will be as fresh as possible this way too lol

@@charliegarrison9688 he literally went out the door, went to a farm across the street, hoped the fence and butchered the cow right then and there, cooked it and brought it back. The freashest steak that man has ever tasted. 😘👌

@@mainlyglitches You know, freshly cut steak like that, without letting the meat hang for a couple days first, that meaat is going to be HARD and BLUE. Not TENDER and RED. Blood is blue (well, bluish at least) until it comes in contact with oxygen only then does it becomes red.

@@patrickrannou1278 Hay, I said it was the freshest stake, didn’t say it was going to be any good. What, you expected the steak to be edible? Look at you and your high expectations. This is not that type of restaurant sir. Please take your expectations and find a store with edible food. Mr fancy pants. 😤 The nerve of some people expecting food not to be drenched in blood. People too privileged these days. Makes me sad. 😔

So happy that you found us! Welcome to the crazy little corner of the internet

honestly the Post Pandemic Bored episode is a personal favourite, Rowan was 'locked' in to Playtech whilst the country was in lockdown 🤣

I am honestly shocked that service staff throttling customers is not a daily news article. Absolutely stellar self control.

​@@HandsomeDanVacationRentals What surprises me is the courage/self-confidence/insanity for people to be really rude to deli and butchery employees. Like waiters, they handle your food. However, they also handle big honking knives every day. And you're still going to use "Don't you know who I am!?" on them?

Oh come on, waiters don't do an easy job, but keep your hyperboles for people who actually do an incredible work. Waiters do a regular job and deserve respect for it, but you don't need to americanize every praise you make.

With one wrong detail at the very end.

that would have been an awesome alternate ending.

@Tom TK Would have*

@@BeheadedKamikaze **have

@@BeheadedKamikaze It's actually would've, but sure.

The second part here is everything! If it's a simple order, then sure, but as soon as changes start getting made, please write it down.

As someone with allergies, my heart was in my stomach a little bit. If I eat out at all (rare) I like to keep the order simple and make sure I’m with people who will do the same. The consequences for others if the order is messed up is they just might not get the food they like. The consequences for me could be death.

Always write in the notepad

The only time I *needed* my notepad with a bunch of simple orders, it was for 39 people... at no notice (you'd think they'd have called ahead, but, no, they just invaded the place). Every person ordering their own food and drink... I'm just going to write this down, thankyouverymuch.

@@Pchlster I would want to write it down if it's 1 person too

Guilty!

Yeah. Ben’s.

I was gonna ask. Sounds like the worst case of compulsive disorder

It's mine, though it's usually so there's a greater variety of food around if people want to try things.

Easy, just write it down

i almost never change anything. if you don't like sth,,order sth else i say

*No Substitutions*

@@robmit1113 writing it down is easy, putting it in the computer in a way the kitchen can understand is hard. The cooks are balancing dozens of orders, even a couple exceptions can throw off their whole system. And god forbid if someone is allergic, they have to clean the cooktop/area and get all new pans/cooking utensils.

Or just write it down and everyone will be more confident in the eventual outcome. I hate wondering if we're going to be able to eat when our food comes out the first time or not. It's not amazing, it's annoying.

@@ThisOldSkater its been well over a decade since I was a server but belive me when I say most of the times a server memorized your order they had an empty or broken pen and an order pad desperately trying to write. But to no avail. And you had no clue. Just be nice to servers and settle on an order before giving it. Much appreciated.

@@humanistwriting5477 yeah I'm only a customer. What the hell do I know about how I want the experience to go? I am nice to my servers, but that still stresses us out because it almost never works out when we have a lot of tweaks. Which we do know before we order. It's never the scattered mess depicted above, we order clearly and logically, but 9 times out of 10 the order gets cocked up. I don't know what to tell you...

@@ThisOldSkater well if it's 90% of the time then the problem is you. The customer is *not* always right.

@@humanistwriting5477 well then ask for a different note pad or use a printer paper from an office
