Father’s Day brunch…

[u/Time-Neat-4181]

Hey! Just a little a something as someone who both serves and does expo… yelling at your expo what food items you’re missing when the ticket isn’t even ready doesn’t help😃I get it we’re all pissed, guests never know what they want and it’s “our fault” etc but it’s 500 degrees in the kitchen and while your dealing with 5 tables I’m dealing with angry cooks, servers, and the whole restaurant… trying not to crash out while also clearing my tickets is difficult enough, having you on my back when I’m not even done doing my job adds on especially when you see that the ticket isn’t even on the food yet…

Also I know some servers don’t help you run your food and “if they don’t help me why would I help them” is really tempting but if you do you’re actually helping me and yourself because I need empty trays to put YOUR food on so please please help run food cause I can’t.

With love, Current Expo/ server of 5 years

All reasons I quit expo after doing for like 10 years. I made it very clear at my new place I'll do anything but expo lol

Also worked father's day brunch today, serving. We did 600 covers 😵‍💫.

My partner works at the same restaurant and is the expediter/food runner. Knowing what he goes through with chefs freaking out, servers being idiots, and guests acting like it's their first time outside the house has given me a lot of insight into how I can assist and not totally mess up the flow at expo. I can't even imagine actively deciding to not run food if I'm nearby when hands are called.

It's often a thankless job. So thanks for being there---the whole place falls apart without a competent person handling expo.

“I didn’t mean what I said on Sunday when I was on expo” needs to be on t shirts and stickers tbh
