People saying he asked for it or knew better... Aren't considering the pressure some restaurants put on their employees to always perform at a certain level. This could have been the result of a manager pushing him to make fewer trips between the Front and Back of house.
Yeah, for sure. Back in my youth I’ve had to run out plenty of food orders that weighed close to what I do. Also it’s crazy they didn’t put down any non skid in that hallway, especially since they’re having staff running up and down stairs.
That's...that's what ya got? People really don't know how to efficiently... disagree.... with someone anymore. You have SO much Main Character energy, with that elaborate response. Triggered by a comment that isn't making fun of the guy in the video....lmao.
Some people have no choice, but to accept pressure and do their best. The person in this video has probably been made to do something like this more than once, and they just hoped this time would get them acknowledgment.
I'm not. Thats when you expect someone TO BE recording. Like look at that stack! Shit was basically inevitable unless this guy was part of the Circus du Soleil.
That's a lazy man's load. I'm guilty of doing that with bringing the groceries in from the car. I always try to take it all in one trip cause I'm too lazy to go back and forth.
I did a similar stunt with all glasses stacked on my tray. I lost it but pressed it against the wall to save more than half of them. I had a stern talking to and was told to never do that again.
May be unrelated.... but did you know, when you're balancing a tray stacked with stuff, it's super UNhelpful and hazardous for someone else to try and grab the tray or things on it?
Ever consider the dude with the tray could have said "film me carrying this heavy ass tray"?
Maybe hold it like you’re lugging furniture? You hold the bottom on one side, I hold the opposite on the bottom, we move this shit slowly. It looks big enough for two people with outstretched hands can hold both ends at the bottom corners.
if this were a real situation, not two people looking for internet attention, it would just be two trips with smaller stacks of dishes. but imagining two servers to every tray like a pair of medics holding a stretcher is funny, i like the way you think.
Yep, just randomly start working for free. Maybe you should randomly start helping out with washing the dishes when you go to dine at a restaurant next time.
Speaking as a restaurant boss, there is no way I’m ‘pushing workers’ for a multitude of reasons…including the fact that breakage is already a pesky thing without amplifying it.
Very few bosses would demand a worker to carry plates like this, and those that do, are idiots.
The thing is, in Asian work culture, the bosses push you to your limit, then when you fuck up and break stuff, it’s also your fault and you have to pay the boss, one of the reasons I left
That doesnt even make sense. It takes way more time and effort to make that precarious stack than it would to make two or three "big but not too big" trips. This is definitely someone trying to show off, or avoid doing the stairs multiple times
Idk, my natural reaction would be to say stuff like "You're an idiot. You're going to get fired. No one wants to help you clean" before trying to be a viral video director. Maybe that's just me though.
I think you're being generous with how you expect others to act. Maybe they dont like the guy doing the stack and theyre enjoying it?
Yes, id expect anyone decent to act the way you describe. I just dont think that many people are decent.
They gave you a response on what they would do, not what most people would do or how they expect others to act. The whole “that’s just me” and “my natural reaction” parts kind of give that away.
Clearly weren't too heavy for them to carry, the real issue was that narrow ass flight of stairs (that has the nerve to have a 90⁰ turn) – if that's the only route to go, this incident is not the first and won't be the last.
Business just buys these for cents a piece. I remember when was doing a mug sublimation business. It only cost me 10 cents a piece per A grade ceramic mugs to import. Now if you check alibaba you can see ceramic ware can be as low as $0.25 cents per piece unless you're in the U.S. cause of tarrifs.
I literally have been running bars and restaurants for 15 years. Even if you're buying absolutely dogshit plates which for one will look like shit, and will also break more often, so it's literally not financially viable to buy the shitty ones for any successful restaurant business. Nicer spots plates can be closer to 10-15 a piece. Even my current bar which is literally just a slightly nicer a bar runs like 7-8 a piece for most of them, my nicer pasta bowls are around 12.
Alibaba ceramic ware is dogshit. I've bought cheap shit before, it looks, feels, and breaks, like cheap shit. After a while you stop buying trash and run better plates.
Like, not trying to come in too hot, but this is one of the only things I ACTUALLY know a lot about.
I mean the downvotes but youre not wrong. Each of those plates is probly $5-20 depending on whether its a full-sized/half sized dinner plate, platter, bowl, etc... and it looks like he only managed to save a couple
You realize even at wholesale 5-6 for a half sized plates and bowls, full plates, and ramen bowls at 7-10, platters at 15 and serving dishes at 20 is very reasonable and not high end at all.
The dishes in a decent place can cost a lot more than this, and this includes wholesale from restaurant supply. Im a chef, I'm familiar with pricing.
Meanwhile Applebees was getting entree plates for about 30 cents each. Must be pretty nice working in the supply business and being able to just price shit whatever because some petty tyrant small business owner needs “the nice dishes”
More around $1 a plate, I remember having to buy some plates for my restaurant and they sold them in boxes of 30 for about $35 (the $5 covered packaging)
Mate that'd have to be a very upmarket restaurant if that's how much they're paying for crockery! Here in the UK the business rates for your average restaurant plate is around 60p to £1
Heavy stuff feels much heavier when you carry down and in front. The same weight on your shoulder or at least in line with your body is supported better by more muscle groups. Plus, it's easier to walk with. Still, he was asking for a disaster carrying so much.
Like, you ever have to carry a 5 gallon bucket of water? Trying to carry it down in front sucks and even on the side feels unbalanced but it's easier to carry two buckets, one in each hand, than one bucket down in front.
Yes, of course. It’d certainly feel heavier. It’d be heavy enough that he’d hopefully realize he should take some stuff off. He didn’t have the strength or skill to keep that much balanced. And with all that weight just on the hand it doesn’t take much to get it off balance as he found out.
Yeah, he was definitely being over ambitious either way. He was probably showing off for the camera, if I had to guess. I think he could have made it but, after rewatching it, it looks like he had an awkward step right before the whole operation fell apart.
Me saying I’ll take it all in one trip

There’s only so much pressure I will accept for $4 an hour.
Some people have no choice, but to accept pressure and do their best. The person in this video has probably been made to do something like this more than once, and they just hoped this time would get them acknowledgment.
it was impressive that he made it onto the stairs before it all came down
He was asking for it
Something something about eggs and baskets.
Oh well then! What a surprise! We didn't see it coming at all!
Never put all your eggs in 1 basket
whatcouldhavegonewrong
His problem
Not enough plates obviously
A few more and it would've worked
What did they think would happen
I fail to believe that this isnt like the 5th time its happened
5th time tonight
Got to keep piling those plate higher, because now we're even further behind.
Yeah I mean why the fuck?
Fired.
After cleaning up.
Welp. Just push all that shit to the bottom and start sweeping.
Always amazed someone just happens to be recording when something like this happens
I'm not. Thats when you expect someone TO BE recording. Like look at that stack! Shit was basically inevitable unless this guy was part of the Circus du Soleil.
He must bring the tray alone or it will be much slower
I mean, I would record a dude transporting all that shit lmao. Wouldn't you?
No
Why were they filming?
Probably because it was impressive up until he dropped it.
Maybe cause this dude was carrying a hundred plates in a crazy rose petal formation on his tray?
Shock value is actual value in todays world.
They knew exactly what's gonna happen 🤣
Maybe the dishwashers got overwhelmed and paid the waiter to lighten the load a little lol
either staged or they put their brains on the plate too
Definitely asking for it, I mean come on bro, what'd you expect lol
Bruhhh that feels so bad just to watch.
Is this what my kids are taking about when they say bussin?
No
No amount of money can make you do this,if it is real work, we all see it is for content or a bet
conveniently being recorded!
Tried to get some content: task failed successfully ✅
Utter defeat
Staged. Nothing to see here.
Well.. you gambled and lost
…. What was the expected outcome?
Can’t park there
he saved so much time! almost.
Pretty sure it was done for content generation.
Why else would you be filming
As the kids say, "Bussin!"
Bro is so cooked rn fr
Deserved.
Why would you do that?
To generate likes
I guess mission accomplished (for the wrong reasons)?
Wait, I think he still has one survivor!
See you tomorrow ~chef~ busser.
The person behind should have been supporting it, not filming!
Then get blamed? Fuck no.
But why
also but why not wrap around with cellophane at least ffs
Fr, just go twice. We did that all the time. Customer won't care
Don't think he had enough plates.
Sometimes Slow IS Fast.
The boss knew better than to let this happen
That's a lazy man's load. I'm guilty of doing that with bringing the groceries in from the car. I always try to take it all in one trip cause I'm too lazy to go back and forth.
Guy filming knew what was coming
Shit, we’re both getting fired aren’t we?
lol, more like “this is going to be good”
Sometimes the quickest way is actually the longest way.
3 trips is always faster than trying to clean up the mess that made....
True, technically he did take 2 trips here- just the 2nd one was unplanned 😂
My grandfather would have called that a “poor man’s load”
Title had me thinking something else
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
I did a similar stunt with all glasses stacked on my tray. I lost it but pressed it against the wall to save more than half of them. I had a stern talking to and was told to never do that again.
At least he doesn’t have to worry about carrying heavy trays of dishes anymore!
r/donthelpjustfilm
Took me about 10 seconds to realize it wasn't "don the lp ...."
If only there was another way!
Taking multiple trips?
SET UP!
Ohhhhh nooooooo.....
How it feels to chew 5 gum
It was faster until it wasn't.
And the idiot filming couldn't help, as opposed to..... Ahh, Gen Z. Got it.
To be fair, I have a coworker who’s nearly 40 and takes videos of everything just like this.
May be unrelated.... but did you know, when you're balancing a tray stacked with stuff, it's super UNhelpful and hazardous for someone else to try and grab the tray or things on it?
Ever consider the dude with the tray could have said "film me carrying this heavy ass tray"?
Even better, make it smaller and do 3 trips.
how would they help? that's not a two person tray.
Maybe hold it like you’re lugging furniture? You hold the bottom on one side, I hold the opposite on the bottom, we move this shit slowly. It looks big enough for two people with outstretched hands can hold both ends at the bottom corners.
if this were a real situation, not two people looking for internet attention, it would just be two trips with smaller stacks of dishes. but imagining two servers to every tray like a pair of medics holding a stretcher is funny, i like the way you think.
Maybe load a second try with half of that and just carry it down?
Yep, just randomly start working for free. Maybe you should randomly start helping out with washing the dishes when you go to dine at a restaurant next time.
FAFO!
A delicate flower
Somehow the dishwasher is still going to be forced to clean this haha
Well he doesn’t have anything else to do right now
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And look, he won!
This is why your mom always told you to take multiple trips
He skipped the last stairs step which caused the dishes to fall
I unmuted this, was disappointed
Positive they don’t have to wash those plates anymore
Aw man, how’d that happen?
Did he not want that to happen?
r/whatcouldgowrong
Single point of failure.
This is what happens when the boss pushes the workers to the limit Now the boss will have to pay 'the broken plates"

I don't think this video is where you are from.
I mean he was being filmed. Looks more like a viral vid attempt gone wrong (or right?!)
That doesnt even make sense. It takes way more time and effort to make that precarious stack than it would to make two or three "big but not too big" trips. This is definitely someone trying to show off, or avoid doing the stairs multiple times
Not before blaming the Busser and asking him to pay for it or be fired...
No, they usually just fire you because they know you don't have money because they barely pay you.

BUSSIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
BUSSIN BUSSIN BUSSIN BUSSIN BUSSIN BUSSIN BUSSIN BUSSIN
FEEL GOOD
FEEL GOOD!
There is one ass hole in this video and it's not the guy who walked by
"Bro film me carrying all these plates it'll go viral"
Gold
Why didn't the camera man help out? Why was he filming at all?
Oh come on, if you saw a guy trying that you wouldnt pull out your phone to record the VERY predictable outcome?
No. At no point do i think I'm gonna record something unless it's a family event
Thank you!
Idk, my natural reaction would be to say stuff like "You're an idiot. You're going to get fired. No one wants to help you clean" before trying to be a viral video director. Maybe that's just me though.

r/whatcouldgowrong
Well it important to be efficient
No one could have foreseen this 😱🙄
Easier and faster to clean up and throw away now than it would be to wash all those dishes!
I'd just quit
If my employee tried to jenga stack trays that are too heavy for him to carry before dropping everything, I'd fire him before he could grab the broom.
Clearly weren't too heavy for them to carry, the real issue was that narrow ass flight of stairs (that has the nerve to have a 90⁰ turn) – if that's the only route to go, this incident is not the first and won't be the last.
Sounds like a real healthy work environment
You’re not in line to get fired by this guy? More for us.
I know exactly what he's thinking: "I tried so hard..."
Akon feat bone thugs n harmony - tried so hard
And got so far.
But in the end..
I watched the dishes shatter....
They had to fall…
I couldn't hold the platter
it doesn't even matter,
The dishes dropped, I lost my job
Wow mad respect. And then at the end…crash!
Yeah but why
This is the very definition of the idiom "a lazy man's load"
Perhaps don't carry $1000+ worth of dishes at once.
thats like 50 bucks at best
You're fucking high lmfao. Absolutely so confidently incorrect.

I second this. I run a restaurant and there is no way I’m getting even 20 plates for 50 bucks.

You do realize commercial enterprises buy at wholesale price right

You have never worked in hospitality. Each one of those dishes are probably close to $50.

Lmao not a chance
The look on his face speaks volumes😂
"I knew I shouldn't have done that.. "
I thought the watch people die inside was going to be the face on the dishwasher when. The busboy dropped off that legendary load
That was just stupid. If you’re going to try to carry that much, do the logical thing and carry it down in front of you.
Heavy stuff feels much heavier when you carry down and in front. The same weight on your shoulder or at least in line with your body is supported better by more muscle groups. Plus, it's easier to walk with. Still, he was asking for a disaster carrying so much.

Always consider the failure mode.
I’ve never understood the need to carry so many dishes at once. What a waste.
I'm reminded of Kevin from The Office:
"Why say many words when less do trick"
Replace words with trips.
I was thinking of when he dropped his big pot of chili
