I'm pretty sure even the 5 foot nothing, 100 pounds soaking wet server at a waffle house could take on a 6'4 250 pound rowdy customer. It's in their job description.
Tbf when I worked at little Caesar’s and you were working counter and you didn’t step away to cut pizzas you’d get in trouble. Also the dreaded build up can happen because often you are completely assigned both work stations. This is where someone keeps loading pizzas not being able to see the other end. You’ll be taking an order after a rush came in and then just hear all the new pans of pizza push the old ones on the ground. Honestly it was the only job in my life I ever genuinely liked.
What happened to the pizzas that fell on the floor? Did they land in the dishes or fall out and did you remake em or throw em straight in a box to be shipped out? Not criticising btw, just genuinely curious.
There was no saving them. It’d be insane to salvage them. The first thing you do is go ‘oh fuck’ then you and your coworker freak out and try to grab as many pans still on the oven as you can before they get pushed too. You also have to use these weird metal clips to lift them too. Then they need to be cut and boxed to make more room. Annoying. So you and your fuck up homie are just trying to make sure nothing else falls. Mostly just walk around the mess. Then you have to rush back to the counter to deal with the angry people. Sort of darting back everytime because you’re too anxious to focus and the pile of pizza is heavy on your mind. The other person is remaking pizzas as fast as possible. We have to identify which ones fell. It would suck when half an order fell. We would just remake both so one wouldn’t be cold as hell and it was too confusing. Once the rush is over you usually go full force clean up. Once the active line is cleared I’m not really going back to the counter until it’s all dealt with. Counter was very rarely a dedicated role and why it’s almost always empty if you go in when it’s slow. I used to hallucinate the sound the little bell made on the door. If my manager was in the office doing office stuff he would spring into action and the whole thing was easier to deal with.
Once the pizza was on the floor it was dead to the world. Even if it came out looking perfect no one serves floor food to customers unless they’re super dumb and/or lazy. The customers can see the cutting area pretty well and hear and see the pizzas falling on the floor. They’re in pans so it’s incredibly loud.
At another restaurant I worked at I was prepping chicken wings on full sheet pans. I would then put them on a rack. I managed to push a pan full of raw chicken wings on the ground when I’m putting in another one. My dumbass just ended up doubling up on one of the slots. Me and the other cooks grabbed them and ended up deep frying them later and eating them. Half the kitchen thought we were the most disgusting people out there. If we tried to serve it all hell woulda broken loose. Which we had no desire to do but still.
I’ve worked in busy kebab and pizza shops and chippies in England, so I definitely know the drill when it comes to all you said. Been there, done that!
I love reading negative reviews of random places. I can easily lose track of time just scrolling through reviews. That being said there are often also a bunch of goofy fake reviews like this. Hotels tend to have a lot of good ones. Things where people will describe horrible/bizarre over the top problems with the rooms, and then give it five stars.

A 12 hour voting period will begin with each new submission. During that window, you can label the content with one of those three options.
The app will recognize your vote as long as it's the first letter in your top-level comment. You can follow the letter with a period or comma, and it can be upper-case or lower-case, but it has to be the first letter, and a top level comment, and it cannot be as part of a word. (So this paragraph, for example, would not be recognized, because although it starts with 'T', the 'T' is a part of the word "The"; but if it was just "T." or "T, I agree" it would be valid.)

T only bc one time at a LC in rural Texas one of the cooks yelled the N word from the kitchen and my kid was the only one in there who wasn't white and they said that he had tourette's but I don't know that I believe that
Anyway the Owners of LC paid Rosa Parks rent until she died
I support LC in general.

Super obvious joke, but the most unrealistic part is someone actually being at the counter when they walked in.
It would be a T if it was about waffle house
Your Waffle House has obvious employees?
Yes but they are smoking as it is mandatory for workers
Confirmed mandatory. Source: https://youtube.com/shorts/SnePa1t2m_U?si=07Kx8DPYWtZWlCp-
I'm more of a menthol lover, do y'all have those
edit: I got downvoted for menthols :(

The crack they’re smoking definitely helps
Now I've got the chappelle show skit where the crackhead lifts up the bus to get a crack rock stuck in my head, haha.

Hey that's mean. Sometimes they're at the counter, they just ignore you.

W. Reviews like this are always a joke
W you got the karma and the woosh. since this is a repost( u can tell by the pixels) it feels like you didn’t really have doubts and just wanted karma
W - though ive known a couple people that worked at Skeezers that probably would do that.
I mean some super similar shit happened at a taco bell here in Philly. And a few other times at other places I think.

W - Too awesome to have not happened. I'm saying it happened. I want it to have happened. So it happened.
Edit: My W also stands for Win. Cause it was awesome.

The last line 💀🤌
T you've obviously never been to a Little Caesars
This belongs in r/thathappened not here
Yeah everyone is stupid. Downvote me too please (if you're stupid).
U I cant see any minimum wage employee doing anything else than noping out of the situation
you must not see very many videos of min wage workers at work cause some of them do the most extra ass shit for no reason lol
If you’re working for minimum wage and dealing with customers, I guarantee they’re just itching for the chance to fuck someone up.
This greasy kid is just fantasizing about an even greasier kid defending his honor while shoving cheap pizza in his face.
