I "agree" with most of this video, as I used to run a restaurant and dealt with old and cheap people. The one thing that doesn't really ring true for me, though, is the coming in at closing time. The old people usually came in early, like really early, before we had full dinner prep and service staff on the clock.
God, I hate when I ask "Can I get you anything?" and they say "A million dollars!" Thanks, buddy, you're only the twentieth goddamn person to say that to me today...
I always say with a smile "can I get you anything else, within reason?" that gets a laugh and I don't have to hear "a million dollars", "winning lottery numbers", or "world peace" and use up one of my two courtesy laughs per shift.
If he was a young man in 1729 that would make him about 300 years old and not 200. So he should take 3 times as long to order and should celebrate his tricentenial.
In my experiance, old people have eyes ten hundred times bigger than their stomach. We used the term 'Senior Attack' to describe it. For example two very old frail ladies with walkers came into the sub shop i was working at. The first one orders a large steak and cheese with extra cheese, large salad and a bowl of soup. I thought they were going to share it, but the second old lady says "Ill have the same please."
Wait... restaurants server steak with cheese on it? What kind of moron eats that? I love steak and I love cheese but I love not having heart attacks even more. Is that seriously something people actually serve in restaurants? Which restaurants? What kind of cheese? Mexican shredded cheese? Colby? Muenster slices? Boggling my mind.
Mike F You never heard of a steak and cheese sub (AKA Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich) ? No offense... but have you been living under a rock with no access to the outside world since birth? :O
I used to serve a group of ladies every week who would get together n play cards. they would ask for everything on the side, split in the kitchen, extra crispy....they would say I give them the best service then barely tip me $2 each... complained they were cold, the soup was salty (yet got the same thing every week) I also just waited on a 7 top of old ladies with a reservation. The lady who made the reservation was upset she didn't get the table she wanted. The reservation did not say that they were to sit at that particular table. We also had a reservation for 10 so they were placed at said table. The woman went as far as to tell the other party that that was not their table. Then was rude to my manager saying that the table a ways back was being too loud and inconsiderate and rude. The manager explained that a man had just got home early from being deployed and surprised his girlfriend then proposed. and she apologized saying that was the reason for the noise. Two of the women were basically like "glad that's over" REALLY THO?!
I’m a cashier at Walmart and they do that same shit to me, and I’m agnostic! Although I just tell them I’m not allowed to accept anything from a customer, works every time!
More annoying old people stuff: 72 degrees in the restaurant and they complain that it's "freezing." They ask to be sat by a window but insist the blinds be drawn because "the light hurts their eyes." While waiting to be seated they waggle a coupon with their fingers in a desperate attempt to let you know they....have a coupon! And most of all, their fucking bacon must be CRISPY lest the "meat germs" get them!
you forgot to include the inevitable order of hot tea where they ask which kind you have, you list all 30 of them and they choose black tea that is never hot enough for them. ever.
this is what my granny does, and allways thinks her life sucks,yet gets all the attention, and allways fucking complains about every shitty thing goes spring
Try being a computer tech. I swear, until I started working on fixing their old ass/over priced junk computers; I never thought a job would make me want to punch old people in the face so much.
I laughed to tears. This is the best one I have heard. The scathing sarcasm and creative wit is powerful in this one.

I love this clip. "Blah blah blah dinosaurs blah blah blah nickels"... all that long rant. It was very funny! :)
God, I hate when I ask "Can I get you anything?" and they say "A million dollars!"

+Steph Byrd Without cracking a smile I ask them what they would like to drink with that.

I would like to know more about the story regarding the dinosaurs, Rambo and Nazis. Sounds fun!
+darwincity
What about the part where things cost a nickel?
***** Might have something to do with the Dinosaurs.
+darwincity
Yeah. Can't really tell with all the blah blah blah's in the story.
+Feltzer342 Maybe the dinosaur had a nickel, and then adopted the old man?
The dinosaurs were nazis that paid for everything with nickels! They were also Rambo fans!

"Blah blah blah, costs a nickel" ... I'm dying! x DDDD
I don't know why but it does piss me off when people randomly give me those Christian pamplets.
Andrew Martin Same here, although I just tell them I’m not allowed to accept gifts from customers! It works every time!

I agree with Casey Vee. I'm a geezer now and I come in around 5 before full dinner prep etc. Otherwise I'll fall asleep and drown in my soup.
I love all of these videos. They are sadly and hysterically all true lol never a dull moment serving .
No old person walks in 10 minutes till closing. We all know 4:30p.m. is supper time.
