I literally love and hate this video bc of it. I have soooo been this guy before. Pretty much my whole 20's. I really hope he's doing good now, then I can keep laughing with him.

"If the customer insists on a thicker cut, give it to them then accidently run your carving knife through their spleen. This will discourage others from asking for thick cuts"
Had some realty big-wigs in for a banquet, and I was carving the prime rib that night. Guy came in and when I was carving my usual slices, he asked for a little thicker. Went about 1/8th inch increments until it was like an inch-thick slab of meat. They were paying good money for it, so all I could say was “American cut, huh? I’m personally a fan of the English cut myself.” Conversely, there was a Chinese wedding where they cut so much out of their menu to save costs that the other cooks were going “Cheap cheap cheap” in the kitchen to make fun of them. Those guys got paper-thin half slices of the lamb. Of course I had to give them two slices if they asked for it, but for much more than that, I encouraged them to come back for seconds later.
I too have been a carver at a resort buffet lol. One time, another guy who was carving said “Here you go, Boss!” as he gave a guy a slice. The guest replied “I’m not your fucking boss” and shattered him. It was hilarious.
"please, tell them I love them. one day I'll see them again I pro-" uh oh! seems like you shared to much! that's alright we'll fill that position in no time! and remember. *thin slices are more tender.*
I’m a new nurse and this video has helped me better communicate with my patients. Just yesterday I was assigned a patient who just miscarried. I think she really appreciated when I asked her “did you catch the game last night.” Thank you, carving guy.
The 'customer service skills' nurses have are the best! My MoM retired a CCRN-1. The darkest comedy ( Nursing Jocularity ) I have ever heard came from her and her nurse BFF's. Then I read her OB-GYN book.

As a funeral director I use a lot of this information in & out out the embalming room & during making the arrangements with the grieving families. A simple "how's that"? & an occasional "Do ya like hot fudge sundaes"??? Puts the FUN in funeral 😊
Wipe grease from the carving board with a paper towel... then proceed to wipe your face with that same paper towel, to give your face the hard working welcoming sheen our customers know and love.

My wife and kids used to love going to Old Country Buffet for some reason. I always used to call it 'Scared Straight', because it was like prison food. It's closed now, but you can still get the same experience by buying a rotisserie chicken and a can of green beans from Walmart, and getting a bunch of people to cough on it.
I used to take my family there and we called it 'Dinner and a Show' because it was so easy to make fun of some of the guests there. Every tuesday night at 6:00pm the People of Walmart would waddle across the parking lot and set up camp at the OCB
“Did you catch the game last night?” “Actually I did. I lost my kid’s college fund on that field goal. This is probably my last warm meal for awhile..” I should’ve asked if it was still hot out there...shit.
This guy's carving game was on point. He should have had a business doing family events. There is nothing more impressive than a guy who can carve like a master. It's sure to impress.
they had a tryst later that night in the back of his conversion van. He came to find out three months later that she was only 14 at the time, according to court documents.
"Once they've paid for their meal, no one pays attention to them" is the place where I want to eat every time. Please leave me the f alone once I paid for my meal.
And then you're put to work in a Country Buffet, and are forced to use these lines. Except your shift never ends, and you don't ever get a break. This is it, for all eternity.
Fred owns the carving table. He is a wizard with the knives and his keen awareness of the customers age, plate and requests. I like to think Fred turned this into a long and successful career in food service and to this day his contributions to the industry are still felt with every bite. Thank you Fred, thank you 🎉
In my last job as a hospital chaplain, I had to console the widow of a man who passed away during surgery. "How's that for ya?" I asked. She was inconsolable. Thanks, Carving Guy.
"thinner slices are more tender, you can always come back up later to again receive the opposite of what you asked for, remember, multiple trips to a carving station are the hallmark of a relaxing restaurant experience"
No more glorious a selection of exquisitely executed small talk has there ever been. “Is it hot out there?” (Delivered in perfect, nervously cracking voice)
Other questions might include things like..... 1. Do you like gladiator movies? 2. Do you like it when your dog rubs up and down your leg? 3. Ever been in a Turkish bath? 4. Can you sit on my face? and.... 5. My life has no meaning. Can you please end it for me in a ritualized Japanese sort of way?
This was a very general over view. Different managers had different pet peeves. I remember at this one in the Midwest we had alot of good eaters if you will. We were instructed to tell folks that came to the carving table alot "Welcome back! Your mouth ready for another load of my hot meat?" This worked very well in keeping our operating costs down.
"Ever thought about losing weight?" "Are you legally blind." "Does it suck being you?" "Do you know that you were adopted?" "How did you convince your husband to marry you?" "Are you in your parents will?" "Do you regret having kids?" "Ever been in a cockpit before?" BONUS📌@1:09 "Ever been to Mars?" "TWO WEEKS!"🍻😂
She just wants a half inch slice of THAT roast beef. She doesn't want him to go in the back and find another roast beef to give her. She specifically wants that one.

I did catch game last night and made a lasagna out of it, my favorite.
this is deep.
This guy's carving game was on point. He should have had a business doing family events. There is nothing more impressive than a guy who can carve like a master. It's sure to impress.
the chemistry between thick slice girl and the original carving guy, nice
they had a tryst later that night in the back of his conversion van. He came to find out three months later that she was only 14 at the time, according to court documents.
I hate how much I'm into her
"Once they've paid for their meal, no one pays attention to them" is the place where I want to eat every time. Please leave me the f alone once I paid for my meal.
EXACTLY!
You’re going to sit down & answer whether or not you like Hot Fudge Sundays & breakdown the previous night’s game or we will have a problem
😂😂😂
You deserve to be asked "What grade are you in at school?"
"aww man, I already paid for my meal- but now no one is paying attention to me anymore : (

"Okay"
"OK give me a 1/2 inch of thin slices then".

I’d just be like okay but give me more than one slice ya jokster

"Who do you love more? Your mom or your dad?" *[Preferably while the parents are right there]*
The last time someone asked me if I like hot fudge sundaes, I wound up living in a basement for 12 years…
Hahaha this is an underrated comment. 🤣🤣
Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
Sorry. My bad.
Thank you for the hardest laugh of my day.
lmaooo
I’m 95% sure this is the video they play when you first enter purgatory.
It's the serial killer training video:
And then you're put to work in a Country Buffet, and are forced to use these lines. Except your shift never ends, and you don't ever get a break. This is it, for all eternity.
Purgatory is probably being trapped inside Country Buffet for all eternity

"Do you like hot fudge sundaes?"
"Wanna see the inside of my conversion van?"
Exactly what I was thinking
Ever seen a grown man naked?
"Do you like movies about gladiators?"
"Ever been in a Turkish prison?"
I got some candy lol
“Can I watch you go potty?” Lol!
Fred owns the carving table. He is a wizard with the knives and his keen awareness of the customers age, plate and requests. I like to think Fred turned this into a long and successful career in food service and to this day his contributions to the industry are still felt with every bite. Thank you Fred, thank you 🎉
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time, from reading all the comments. Omg you guys are killing it! 😂
Seriously I’ve got fucking tears in my eyes at these comments! 😂
@@マシュードーラン comments sections like this restore my faith in humanity.
But have you tried the lasagna?
I'm in the same boat right now, just scrolling down. Taking a breather at your comment
I'm high af cracking up at these comments
How's that for ya?
In my last job as a hospital chaplain, I had to console the widow of a man who passed away during surgery. "How's that for ya?" I asked. She was inconsolable. Thanks, Carving Guy.
loloololl
😂😂😂
"I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Do you like hot fudge Sundays?"
"Thin cuts are more tender, though."
Did he catch the game last night?
"thinner slices are more tender, you can always come back up later to again receive the opposite of what you asked for, remember, multiple trips to a carving station are the hallmark of a relaxing restaurant experience"
I’d have told him to F Off. I’m not bringing my plate up here every time I want a dime sized slice of meat!
They are if you're there for the conversation
I think most people would propably be there for the food :D
I come to watch this every once in a while. I like the nostalgic feeling and it somehow makes me feel better about myself..
“You can always come back for more.”
... smooth ... 😏
That's what she said...
Get that extra BIG cut of meat babe! 😉
@@barkingstarz4730 Sure the big cuts look appealing but The Carving Guy knows that she'll enjoy a tender slice more.
@@Belgand I’ll BET he has a “tender slice” waiting for her! 😂😉

Looks like my plate
except she forgot the hot fudge sundae, what a loser
@@at2130 Sounds good to me!
Sounds like the dream honestly
Thats the classic kid plate

Be sure to ask them if it’s still hot out there.
@@matthewshaugabayii8700 is it still hot out there?
@@MrBurn360 did you catch the game last night?

No more glorious a selection of exquisitely executed small talk has there ever been.
“Is it hot out there?” (Delivered in perfect, nervously cracking voice)
Its tough to maintain your composure with all those voices in your head telling you what to do with that carving knife and a store full of people

The earth shook, his smile tightened, and he pronounced: "Have you tried the lasagna? It's my favourite!"
Other questions might include things like.....
1. Do you like gladiator movies?
2. Do you like it when your dog rubs up and down your leg?
3. Ever been in a Turkish bath?
4. Can you sit on my face?
and....
5. My life has no meaning. Can you please end it for me in a ritualized Japanese sort of way?
1:02 pretty sure no 4. was his first thought, but the training kicked in.
This was a very general over view. Different managers had different pet peeves. I remember at this one in the Midwest we had alot of good eaters if you will. We were instructed to tell folks that came to the carving table alot "Welcome back! Your mouth ready for another load of my hot meat?" This worked very well in keeping our operating costs down.
Good strategy.
It would not have deterred me lol
Hold up. So you're telling me employees are trained to be intentionally awkward to deter repeat visits?
Do you have an application?
@@Kenny-uc1yp Holy shit, me too!

If the lady wants thick meat, give it to her.
She just wants a half inch slice of THAT roast beef. She doesn't want him to go in the back and find another roast beef to give her. She specifically wants that one.
It's the "allllright" that's become an absolute staple in my household
I reply to 80% of my husband’s text with an “allllright” meme of the carving guy. Glad I’m not alone
Me as a a gynecologist : “have you tried the lasagna? It’s my favorite”.

I prefer mine extra meaty with just the right amount of ricotta cheese **chef's kiss**
I sure love meat curtains.
“Is it hot in there?”
Eeew. Lol
Possibly the greatest unintentionally funny video of all time.
Agreed , it's hilarious 😂
