Incident report 9.15.21

Waiter ordered a bushwacker on the rocks for customer.

Drink was returned as incorrect.

I was informed that the customer wanted it frozen.

I made the drink and told waiter to add a $3.00 upcharge for frozen drink.

When presented with the bill, customer noticed the incidental charge.

Complained to waiter, wants the charge taken off.

I comply, waiter tells me customer wants to see a manager.

Presented bill to customer.

Stated "Here is the bill, I'm the manager and I took the 3 bucks off, because I don't want to argue."

This was met with immediate negative feedback.

I disengaged. I didn't think it would be a good idea to argue the point. Since I thought I had met the customer's needs by removing the charge they were disputing, I thought this was over.

As I walked away, one person in the group loudly mentioned how much of an rear end in a top hat I was.

I immediately turned around and said "Excuse me?"

It was then that the older gentleman in the group told me to walk away.

I thanked him and did not engage with this group again.

It was mentioned that the wording on the drink menu indicates that the bushwacker is a frozen drink. Hence I can understand the frustration at an upcharge in this instance.

I recommend that we eliminate the option to upcharge this item.

After this debacle, I decided I should walk out to the outdoor dining area and introduce myself as the busboy.

Like, I'm here to pick up your dirty dishes. Everyone believed it, at least for a moment.

Awkward silence as I continue to clear the tables.

Bitch you ever take a drink you made on the rocks and then have to adapt it to blender in a cup?

First thing, there's going to be too much ice.

Yeah, you have to dilute the drink to get it right.

I would be pissed off If I ordered a drink like that.

You know, like feeling like I was stupid.

The fact I have to ask this either means you suck balls at telling a story, or I'm stupid.
