Douchy Restaurant Manager Gets Told

It's bad enough when we are forced to serve douchy custys, but when the manager falls into the ranks of slimy douchedom, Retail Hell can erupt at any second. Urbanslayer sends this tale about standing up to his D-bag prick of a manager:

I just discovered your site and have experience this shit firsthand. I work as a server at a stir-fry restaurant that provides customers with the crap to make their own food. It can be fun but a lot of people turn it into something terribly childish and make us all think that society is starting to turn out like the characters in the movie Idiocracy. >:(

Anyway at the restaurant we have a manager that has to be the saddest example of human being. He is 43, lives alone, hasn't had a girlfriend in over 10 years (which he is proud of!!!), and is probably the biggest fuckface around.

Ill give a few example of what he enjoys doing to employees to show them the ruling power that a middle aged restaurant manager has.

1. He will stand in front of the "out" door that leads into the restaurant like its ok and then when I have to walk through I hit him and spill soup all over the place, he thinks its hilarious and will laugh. Whenever I know he is there, I enjoy slamming the door open with my foot. One time he almost got knocked onto his ass....he didn't laugh that time.

2. We are allowed to eat on the job. We just have to ask a manager before we do, more often than ever they are cool with it, except him. There are usually 2 managers on at once. One time, nce a girl asked the opposite manager if she could eat and she said yes. Once the d-bag manager saw the food though, he threw it out. His claim was that since she didn't come and ask HIM that she would have to ask his permission then and there and then pay for the food again. He claimed that since he was in the restaurant, she should have asked him. Doesn't make a fucking difference dude!!!!The other manager has as much authority as you do.

3. Trying to make stupid jokes is something he is good at, none of them are funny, the ones that he thinks are hilarious offend the mothers that work there (think dead baby, although I love a good dead baby joke sometimes, around a mother is not a good time.)

4. He always loves to shout to the world when he does something wrong. Its because he makes mistakes so little that everyone should gather around and see that he is human?? HE IS A FUCKING TWAT!!!

......and finally the whole reason I sent this in: One day I had to change a beer keg and grabbed the empty one and took at back to the cooler to grab a new one. The Twat manager is in there doing inventory. I pass him in the cooler to go grab the full keg and start to bring it back (anyone who works in a bar or restaurant knows that kegs are not easy to carry with one hand, and we have to, cause we have a narrow cooler.) So anyway I'm walkin back to the front of the cooler and he is literally standing there with a clipboard checking things off with a pencil. This is the conversation that takes place.

Me: Can you please move, this keg is heavy.

D-bag: Just move the rack, I'm busy.

Me: Your just standing there, I'm holding a 50 pound barrel with one arm.

D-bag: I'm doing manager duties, and your a server. You can move it yourself and go around. Now be quiet I need to work!

So I move the rack and go around and then take the full keg out and switch them out. I take the other keg back and set it inside the cooler blocking the exit and this is what he says:

D-bag: You cant leave that there it's in the way.

Me: Why don't you just go around? your a manager and your capable of moving in a half circle motion around an object...at least I hope your capable of that.

D-bag: What did you say?

Me: Oh! So sorry, but one of my tables needs me, gotta go!

Needless to say he didn't really speak to me for the rest of the shift, I didn't give a shit.

Back in the 60's, my dad and my uncle owned a small restaurant. The day-manager was a prick who abused all the servers and kitchen staff. One day, the dishwasher figured he'd had enough.
The prick was out on the back stairs having a smoke. John (the dishwasher) slammed the back door open. That sent the prick hurtling face-first to the pavement one floor below. It was called an "accident" and the prick took the hint.
Karma can be a cast-iron bitch sometimes.

Used to work at a All You Can Eat Buffet and had a prick of a Boss. So one night the dishwasher crew (all Hispanic, but that is another story) took the hose out to the parking lot and sprayed down his Camaro in ten degree weather over the evening. At that temp, the water froze almost instantly and they were able to get about an inch of ice on the car by the time he locked the doors. What was better was that he dumped boiling water on the car to thaw it out and ended up cracking the paint down to the metal.

OMG! You guys are awesome! When I was working fast food many, many years ago, I had trained one lady to work front counter with me. When another person quit, she became my boss because I had to be home by 6:00am when my husband left for work because I had kids. She made my life miserable by immediately growing a huge ego. Her favorite thing to do was to sit in the dining room and talk with the truckers while I did EVERYTHING. I never got around to exacting revenge because I was in a car accident that forced me to quit work. I did hear, however that she was terminated when the district manager showed up (yes, in the middle of the night!) and she was out "servicing" one of the truck drivers while still on the clock! Karma, baby! :-D
