I work as a host and the guests at my job are all over the place for instance a family came in wanting to sit at a party table and I respectfully tell them that that those tables are reserved for 5 or more and they just casually say that they were a family of 5 and that their son was dead and my jaw is on the floor how do you respond to that honestly

I'll be honest, in that situation I'd probably have to fight the urge to say something very inappropriate. Not sure how I'd handle that, I guess maybe I'd just let them have the table and get it over with. I mean, how can you argue with something like that? Maybe I'd ask a manager what to do, making it their problem is sometimes the best solution.

Whoa that is incredibly uncomfortable! People are wild. Important follow-up: did you give them the party table? 😂

I'm speechless. What did you end up saying? Because I probably would have just said sorry and walked away. Who even says stuff like that?

Wow. I have never had anyone say anything like that to me but I can't say I am surprised. People will say whatever they need to these days to get what they want. I am sorry they said that to you.

Wow, that took a dark turn fast — sometimes you’re just not ready for those emotional curveballs at work!

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
