These are the continued rules that I wrote up while at work. Please abide by these rules if you ever come into Red Bowl, otherwise all employees will secretly hate you.
#22 Don't come up to us ten minutes after we tell you it'll be a 25 minute wait asking where you are on the list. We hate you.
#23 When making a reservation or telling the hostesses how many people are in your party, don't tell us you have a kid unless they need a booster or a high chair. We don't have kids menus.
#23.5 DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN STEAL, EAT, DROOL ON, OR BREAK THE CRAYONS WE GIVE TO THEM. By the end of the week all we have is poop brown or diarrhea brown. Or black. Or white.
#24 Don't put the sushi menus inside of the regular dinner menus. I know you think you're helping with our job, but you're not. If we wanted the sushi menus inside of the dinner menus, we would have put them there in the first place.
#25 When we are trying to sit a table or put a highchair around the table, and there is obviously no room for you to pass, PLEASE WAIT PATIENTLY. Don't waddle like a penguin trying to find a way to walk around me.
#26 I know that it's usually polite to respond with "You're Welcome" when someone says thank you. But typically hostesses like to hear a "thank you" in return rather than a "you're welcome."
#27 If I ask if you want to wait for a table or sit at the bar or sushi bar, or if you'd like an egg roll or spring roll, or if you'd like fried rice or white rice, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE UP YOUR MIND. PROMPTLY.
#28 Please stop talking on the phone or texting when you come up to the hostess stand. Let us seat you, then you may continue.
#29 If you see someone you know, PLEASE don't stop to talk to them until AFTER we have shown you to your table. Otherwise we have to stand there and wait until you're done talking. Waste. Of. Time.
#30 If we tell you it's a 15 to 20 minute wait, don't leave to go to another restaurant. By the time you drive to the next restaurant, you could have already been seated at Red Bowl. Waste of gas.
#31 Respond to us when we say "Thank you, have a good afternoon/night." Don't just ignore us. It's rude.
#32 Don't look at the hostess(es), then turn to the cashier and tell her "table for two." You OBVIOUSLY know that we are the ones who will be seating you. Y u do dat?
