Weeb notes - Wagamama means selfish in Japanese, like it’s meant for you to be selfish and treat yourself. What it actually signifies is the restaurant itself is selfish for making you wait until your retirement party for your food whilst sat next to a bunch of strangers doing exactly the same thing.

From my experience as a waiter you would actually be surprised just how many times people forget what they've ordered. Good chance the plates you're holding while people try and remember are slowly removing a layer of epidermis from your fingers and arm.

You need more likes 😂 My parents ran a restaurant in the 80's/90's. My mums favourite visitor was a Down's Syndrome lad, he only ever ordered sausage & chips and vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce for afters, and he was a lot more polite than some people 😂

I live in rural Andalucia. We get good quality produce cooked simply, bit boring but it is what it is. I went home to London in September, places like Starbucks etc was full of pretentious idiots, happy to pay a few quid for a coffee that I can buy for about one euro. Could not find a proper cafe. The old place has changed so much and little of it for the better

I was a line chef at wags for a year when at uni, i enjoyed it at first because i love cooking (they always claimed they were top and they made the best chefs) half the staff I new left to management that was a mess, top management would just shit on any chef he didn’t like. There was beef going on between managers so some left then go replaced by either shit managers or ones they over worked.

That was just staff, The food! There literally was too many options and not even space to cook (its called a line chef for a reason because its a thin spaced cooking area and your in a line). There was roughly just as many vegan options as there were standard options. But there was three fries two of them being for standard options and one of them being for vegan. Half the time a lot of people that came to eat both went for vegan options and the main options so that was never just a one-sided meal choice. This caused issues because certain dishes couldn’t be cooked in the same fryer which extend the time you had to wait for you to come out obviously there being one fry for vegan meant cooking was longer than the mains would take (but the thing was both options were same in popularity so you never had space to cook) or staff would over order on your screen and then you had meals off screen you cant see or cook (talking like 22 orders with like 2 mins difference and only 12mins allowed get each meal out) it was too stressful so i left

I can think of numerous reasons to not frequent Starbucks. The primary reason being shit product. Over-roasted/burnt beans seem to attract the sheeple that frequent corporate chains (not just coffee). Thankfully, where I live there are numerous coffee shops that treat their products with respect. And even better, most of them are directly accross the street from Starbucks and they attract far more people. Quality>everything.

What funny about Starbucks is their customer base is like 90% females... Just watch your local starbucks nad check the customers... ANotehr Andrew Tate predatory model.. Imagine if Starbucks didn't exist and 99% of the restaurants... just peopel being professionals and making meals at home and keeping health and professional relations.. nope, we have ot be under constant stress and told were useless and make nonsense.... for nonsense people... Its like idiots making fun of chiropractors.. They are great.. .Chiropractors should have an association and meet ups and a relation of the engagement of bones, and yes sometimes.. like less than 0.0001 percent of those customers can get injured, very rare though, and typically its not malpractice, but we are humans not perfect... meh

@@tobiasneethling8871 I've working in catering for well over two decades, I've done everything from al a carte down to al a ping. It's really not difficult to organise it from scratch, in fact it's easier than when you're microwaving a frozen lasagne and the cunt just won't hit core temp. The problem Wagamamas has isn't that 'every section is slammed at all times', it's that you're not properly staffed, trained, or paid. Just like every other chain restaurant.
