re: Group racks up $350 restaurant bill, proceeds to assault waitress/kitchen staff

Every time our office goes to a high end steakhouse, every single one of the black employees (and it doesn't matter if they are a low or high level employee) orders theirs Well Done. Some asked that it be butterflied as well. And we aren't talking Sizzler stakes, try Ruth's or Morton's or Doris Metropolitan.

Yes, this is the stereotype of black people. When I go steakhouses and order a steak medium, I get the same reaction everytime. They say "You know medium is dark pink and slightly warm in the inside right" or some variation of that. And I say, yes I do know that.

I'll never forget the group of [white] parents and kids (~30 people.. filled our whole restaurant)..

Dad and son come in while I'm sweeping the floor for the night. Ask what time we close and I say 9. Looks at his watch (it is 9) and says "Oh okay" and sits down. Whatever. No biggie. Still lots of sidework to be done. I tell the girl who will be waiting on them that they're here.

They tell her they're waiting on some people. 20 minutes later THIRTY people show up. They take up a big portion of the restaurant. I am totally shocked.

They know what they're doing, you can tell, and they're really nice.. but they don't care that they're doing this. Their food comes out at 9:45. 45 minutes after we have been technically closed.

One person's order was a misunderstanding (she wanted to split a whole poboy with the person next to her, not the half.. which was confusing since that person had their own entree). I explain that the kitchen turned everything off when their food finished. They are boiling out, which means the fryer can't be used. Woman is so mad. I give her soup because it is all I have. I explain to her that I am taking care of this instead of her server because her server is 18, in college at LSU, and has three final exams in the morning and we closed an hour ago.

Woman felt bad, and honestly, I didn't care that I made her feel guilty. I was trying to be nice and serve the man who came in at closing time. I had no idea he was bringing in 30 people, especially when he specifically asked me when we close.

You probably put steak sauce all over a nice steak too.

One thing I am always conscious about and it drive the fiance nuts. If we cant get there well before they close I wont go. And I will bug her about getting out of the house on time.

Drives me insane when people have a horrible concept of time and little self awareness.

To be fair, most better steakhouses ask or tell everyone that. I get that all the time at those places (Med Rare) and I'm white as can be.

working and get off of work at like 9:50, what are my options?

McDonald's or cook for yourself.

eating a steak well done should be considered a crime against humanity

probably slather it with ketchup too

I used to get off at 4AM.. when no restaurants were open. It was IHOP, fast food, or going to WalMart and getting a pizza or something.

FWIW, shite happens. People coming in 10 minutes before close sucks, but it never really upset me very much.. as I never made important plans after work.

But I would still never do it.
