This is Corey, here with your quick two-minute update from Adelaide News today. A waitress with over five years on the job says influencers are the least of her problems when it comes to rude diners. She's tired of hearing how people filming their meals ruin restaurants, like claims from big-name owners in London. In her view, for every 10 great customers, there's one nightmare type far worse than anyone with a camera. She ranks the real troublemaker starting with the arrogant ones who skip pleas, and thank you, demand impossible services like grocery shopping, or even make her clean-up dog poop outside. Then come the work from homers who nurse one coffee all day, hog tables for Zoom calls, and plug in every gadget, turning eateries into free offices. These folks impact staff hard, cutting into tips and table turnover while killing the vibe for everyone else. She deals with finger clickers who escalate to clapping or whistling instead of saying, excuse me, aggressive flirts.
She dodges with colleague help, and brawlers fighting over outdoor seats on hot days. Complanners blow up over prices they saw on the menu, or demand she scold other people's kids, while rule-breakers sneak in food, blast music, wander, into kitchens, or linger way past closing. The worst are dine-in dashers who eat big, over $100 worth, then bolt, leaving her chasing them down the street. Bottom line, influences rank last if they're polite. They even boost business and tips, rudeness crosses all types, but cameras alone, not even close to the daily grind service face. Support for this dine-in episode comes from our sponsor.
