Server Slams Table Of 16 People Who Came In 45 Minutes Before Closing And Made Him Want To Quit

Customer service is a challenging field, as everyone knows, but after a challenging interaction, one server began to question if the customer is always right.

Serving food at a restaurant and having a large group of customers walk in demanding a table is the worst feeling in the world for a server.

You're probably closing the kitchen and beginning to pack stuff up, but there are some people who just won't give up. 

Just forty-five minutes before the restaurant where Ozryn Nino works was set to close, that's precisely what happened to him.

And not just a few of them were there... 

In 2022, Ozryn (@ozrynog) posted on TikTok about how a group of sixteen customers entered the restaurant forty-five minutes before it closed.

He said in a video: “This is why I'm quitting because you motherf***ers make my job insufferable.”

When Nino's remarks were shared on the video-sharing website, they were not ignored. 

Though many individuals saw the video, opinions on the server's remarks were split.

One critical viewer slammed: "Gen Z, it's not your customers' fault. Your job has business hours and they're within those hours."

“Y'all literally complain about everything."

Another added: "So you're quitting because you're lazy, and don’t want to work. Got it."

"How the hell did you think a server's job was going to go?" questioned a third.

While a fourth wrote: "45 mins that's enough time to almost get them back out the door before closing."

Some viewers, meanwhile, found Nino's situation to be understandable.

One wrote: "There should be a rule/policy. If a restaurant closes at 9pm, do not seat people after 8pm."

A second sympathized, adding: "Yeah I know the feeling, we had people coming in knowing we close in 5 min and then order the moon."

Another viewer suggested: "Businesses should have a closing menu - only offer simple or to-go foods the last half hour to allow FOH & BOH to close on time."

Nino elaborated on the circumstance in the comments area, stating that he worked in a restaurant that was understaffed at the time, which undoubtedly made his life more difficult.

He said: "Not only do I serve but I wash dishes so when I'm trying to do that and people wanna b rude ima b a b**ch [about] it."

He concluded that 'the money is not worth it at this point'.
